Analog DevicesTMCM-3216-CANOPEN

The TMCM-3216 is a compact, 3-axis bipolar stepper motor controller and standalone driver board. It supports up to three bipolar stepper motors with up to 2ARMS motor coil current and offers single-supply operation with typical 24VDC (10V–30V range).

In the TMCM-3216, there are separate reference/stop switches and incremental A/B/N encoder inputs per motor axis. Additionally, the module features four programmable digital inputs and outputs that can be configured as push-pull or high-side outputs. Two analog inputs support 0V–10V signals.

A USB interface is available for configuration and updates. The RS485 and CAN bus interfaces can be used for in-system communication and daisy-chaining boards to simplify wiring through bus connectors at each end of the board.
