Start into stepper motor motion systems 

 

Italic and green lines can be neglected for the PD-110. 

 
 

 

• 

Your TMCM-110 stepper motor controller 
and driver module 

• 

A stepper motor with 1A RMS coil current 

• 

Interface (RS232, RS485, CAN or IIC) 
suitable to your TMCM-110 version, with 
cables and maybe converter supplied. 

• 

Power supply for 12V to 30V 

• 

TMCL IDE program and PC 

• 

Equipment to connect motor and TMCM-
110, maybe soldering tools. 

 

 

• 

Do not connect or disconnect the motors while powered 

• 

Do not mix up connections or short-circuit pins 

• 

Avoid bundling IO wires with motor power wires, as this 
may cause noise pickup from the motor. 

• 

Do not exceed the maximum power supply of 30V. 

• 

If attaching the TMCM-110 directly to a motor leave at 
least a 5mm gap for air cooling. 

 

 

Start with power supply OFF. 

 

1.  Connect RS232 pin 2 (PC-TxD) to pin 4 (110-RxD) and pin 3 

(PC-RxD) to pin 5. Use other interfaces equivalent. 

2.  Connect RS232 cable to PC. 
3.  Connect power supply to TMCM-110 

• 

Power supply (+) to pin 2 

• 

Ground (GND) to pin 1 

4.  Connect stepper motor to 4 pin connector 

5.  Turn power ON. The LED of the module flashes and the motor 

is powered (standby current flows) but in standstill. 

If this does 

not occur switch power OFF and check your connections and 
power supply.

 

6.  Start the TMCL IDE program (see other side of the sheet how 

to configure the connection and use the IDE). 

7.  Type following into the open window:  

8.  Click the “

Assemble

” icon, then click the “

Download

” icon to 

download the code to the TMCM-110. Click the “

Run

” icon. The 

downloaded program will now be executed 

9.  Click stop button and start “TMCL Direct Mode” to issue 

following commands: 

• 

ROR rotate right, Motor 0, value 500 

 Click Execute 

The motor is rotating now. 

• 

MST motor stop, Motor 0 

 Click Execute 

 

First steps are made.

 For other commands of the TMCM-110 

refer to next page and the TMCM-110 Manual. 

 
Wiring note:

 The TMCM-110 comes with a 4pin, a 5pin and an 8 

pin JST PHR-connector with about 20cm cables for each pin. If you 
have a PANdrive the TMCM-110 is mounted to a motor and no 
extra motor connection is needed.
