Table 3: Vmax Parameter
Under special circumstances it is possible to change the Vmax parameters while a motion is ongoing.
All 16 entries for the Vmax parameter are divided into four groups A, B, C and D. When changing
Vmax during a motion take care that the new Vmax value is within the same group. Background: The
TMC222 uses an internal pre-divider for positioning calculations. Within one group the pre-divider is
equal. When changing Vmax between different groups during a motion, correct positioning is not
ensured anymore.
