- About
- -----
- The TMC26X is a stepper motor controller for bipolar stepper motors. From the trinamic web site:
- The TMC262 is the first energy efficient high current high precision microstepping driver
- IC for bipolar stepper motors. The unique high resolution sensorless load detection stallGuard2™
- is used to for the world’s first integrated load dependent current control feature called coolStep™.
- The ability to read out the load and detect an overload makes the TMC262 an optimum choice for
- drives where a high reliability is desired at a low cost. The new patented spreadCycle PWM mixed
- decay chopper scheme ensures best zero crossing performance as well as high speed operation.
- The TMC262 can be driven with Step & Direction signals as well as by serial SPI™ interface.
- Using the microPlyer allows to operate the motor with highest 256 μStep smoothness reducing the
- input frequency to 16 μSteps. A full set of protection and diagnostic features makes this device
- very rugged. It directly drives external MOSFETs for currents of up to 6A. This way it reaches
- highest energy efficiency and allows driving of a high motor current without cooling measures
- even at high environment temperatures.
- The unique features of the TMC26X are that everything can (and must) be controlled in software:
- * the motor current
- * microstepping
- * stall protection
- * current reduction according to load
- * stallGuard2™ sensorless load detection
- * coolStep™ load dependent current control
- * spreadCycle hysteresis PWM chopper
- * microPlyer 16-to-256 μStep multiplier
- * full protection and diagnostics
- This makes the TMC26X a bit harder to use than other stepper motors but much more versatile.
- This library resolves all the complicated stuff so that you can use TMC26X straight away.
- Furthermore, all the settings are implemented in high level interfaces so that configuring your
- motor is a breeze.
