The TMCM-1043 from TRINAMIC is a simple and compact 1-axis driver board. It allows motor control via step and direction signals, and can be directly controlled via a PLC or by an external step/direction controller board. Handling is quite easy, and no further configuration of the board is required. Nominal supply voltages are 12 V_DC and 24 V_DC. The drive capability is fixed at 1.1 A_RMS. The module provides a very-high-microstep resolution, and TRINAMIC's spreadcycle chopper for smooth motor movement. The TMCM-1043 is equipped with an error output for over-temperature warning and an additional output. The board fits directly on the back of a NEMA17 stepper motor. Easy handling, reliable operation, and a very-competitive price are benefits of this module.
