1 Features

The TMCM-1161 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 NEMA23 (57mm flange size) and

NEMA24 (60mm flange size) stepper motors and has been designed for coil currents up to 2.8A RMS 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 allows for both, standalone operation and direct mode.
