The TMCM-1311 is mainly designed to run 2-phase stepper motors in closed loop mode. It offers an automatic
motor load adaption in positioning mode, velocity mode, and torque mode, which is based on encoder
feedback and closed loop control software for analysis, error detection and error correction.
The closed loop mode operation combines the advantages of a stepper driver system with the benefits of a
servo drive. Thus, the TMCM-1311 is able to satisfy ambitious requirements in reliability and precision and
can be used in several industrial demanding applications.
Benefits of Stepper Drive
High torque without gearing
No feedback loop oscillations
High precision
Precise velocity control
Benefits of Servo Drive
Reaction to any impact
No position loss
Torque control

ODE OPERATION
prevents the motor from stall and step loss caused by too high load or high velocity.
adapts the current amplitude to each motor load which is within the ranges predetermined by motor
and controller/driver board characteristics.
achieves a higher torque output than in open loop mode.
guarantees a precise and fast positioning.
enables velocity and positioning error compensation.
Using the TMCM-1311, energy will be saved and the motor will be kept cool.
