TMCM-160 Single axis BLDC controller/driver module 5A/40V

Description
The TMCM-160 is a controller/driver module for standard brushless DC motor applications. It integrates velocity and torque control as well as a hall sensor based positioning mode, the position resolution depends on the motor, and i.e. a standard 8-pole motor gives a motor axis resolution of 15 degrees.
The module can be used in stand-alone operation (analogue voltage) or remote controlled (TMCL) via a RS-232 or RS-485 interface. Its small form factor (50 x 92 mm) allows for integration onto a user board as a plug-on module or for panel mounting, by connecting flat ribbon cables to the two 2x13 2.54mm standard header connectors.
Multi-axis drives can be easily achieved by integrating multiple modules on one baseboard; a standard baseboard (BB-160) is available.
