TMCM-170-57 Single axis BLDC servo controller/driver with encoder 10A/48V, motor mountable

Description

The TMCM-170 is a controller/driver module for high performance servo drives based on brushless DC motors and gives a high resolution like a stepper motor coupled with the high dynamic, high velocity and high reliability of a BLDC drive.
A built-in ramp generator allows parameterised smooth positioning, with an external switch in order to provide for an absolute position reference. Its small form factor allows direct mounting on or into a motor-encoder assembly and the TMCM-170 integrates a position regulator and a ramp generator, to allow for velocity modes.
The module can be remote controlled via an RS232, RS485 or via a CAN interface.
