INFO
The TMCM-163 is a controller / driver module for general brush-
less DC motor applications. It integrates velocity and torque
control as well as a hall sensor based positioning mode. The
position resolution depends on the motor, i.e. a standard 8 pole
motor gives a motor axis resolution of 15 degrees. The module
can be used in stand alone operation (analog voltage) or
remote controlled (TMCL) via RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces (order-
ing option). Its small form factor (43 x 43 x 20 mm
3
) allows for
mounting directly at the motor. The TMCM-163 fits perfectly to
the QBL4208 BLDC motors.
