1 Features
The TMCM-1021 is a single axis controller/driver module for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors with state of the
art feature set. It is highly integrated, offers a convenient handling and can be used in many decentralized
applications. The module can be mounted on the back of NEMA11 (28mm flange size) and has been designed
for coil currents up to 0.7A RMS (low current range, programmable) or 1.4A RMS (high current range,
programmable, new additional range since hardware version 1.4) and 24V DC supply voltage.
With its high
energy efficiency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep™ technology cost for power consumption is kept down.
The TMCL™
firmware supports remote control (direct mode) and standalone operation (with TMCL program being executed
on the TMCM-1021 itself).

stallGuard2™
stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF on the coils.
It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the
motor. The stallGuard2 measurement value changes linearly over a wide range of load,
velocity, and current settings. At maximum motor load, the value goes to zero or near to zero.
This is the most energy-efficient point of operation for the motor.

coolStep™
coolStep is a load-adaptive automatic current scaling based on the load measurement via
stallGuard2 adapting the required current to the load. Energy consumption can be reduced by
as much as 75%. coolStep allows substantial energy savings, especially for motors which see
varying loads or operate at a high duty cycle. Because a stepper motor application needs to
work with a torque reserve of 30% to 50%, even a constant-load application allows significant
energy savings because coolStep automatically enables torque reserve when required.
Reducing power consumption keeps the system cooler, increases motor life, and allows
reducing cost.
