TMCM-1617-GRIP-REF Gripper Reference Design

TRINAMIC's TMCM-1617-GRIP-REF reference design integrates hardware-based field-oriented control (FOC) and three communication ports to shrink the design size of electronic robotic grippers three times while reducing development time by half. The reference design features Maxim Integrated’s industrial-grade MAX22000 configurable analog I/O and MAX14906 quad-channel digital I/O to adjust the multiple modes of the Trinamic TMCM-1617 single axis servo driver.

Designed to fit within the standard form-factor used for EoAT grippers, the TMCM-1617-GRIP-REF reference design supports industrial EtherCAT, IO-Link, or RS-485 communication; provides software-programmable audio and digital input/outputs; and can be configured using the Trinamic Motion Control Language Integrated Development Environment (TMCL-IDE). This combination of reference design and software platform provides a simple way for design engineers to rapidly deliver a complete EoAT solution.
