Q
UICKSTART
Using the default values of the TMCM-1311, it is possible to proceed with a
quickstart
. This way, you can
check how the module drives your specific stepper motor using these default values. Calibrate them after
first tests to find optimum values.
T
HERE ARE ONLY TWO THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE DONE BEFORE THE QUICKSTART
:
For closed loop mode, initialize the encoder with the appropriate command fields (see
) first.
To open up the
encoder initialization
window, click on the
Init encoder
button on the
quickstart
tab.
Now, choose
closed loop
mode or
open loop
mode operation.

OW TO INITIALIZE THE ENCODER
Fill in the
fullstep resolution
of your motor and click
S
tart encoder initialization
. The motor will rotate just
one round to initialize the encoder. If the encoder has been detected successfully, the appropriate
initialization status will be shown. In case an error occurred, this will be shown in the status field also (state
3 = encoder detection failed). In this case check your hardware connections and the motor fullstep resolution.

Now, first steps are made. Parameterize your module using the other tabs of the software tool.
