TMCL-IDE

 

The Trinamic Motion Control Language – Integrated Development Environment, or TMCL-IDE, is an integrated development environment used mainly for developing stand-alone TMCL™ applications. However, the TMCL-IDE also includes a function for using its commands in direct mode. Furthermore, it is possible to log data and save it in .CSV files, as shown in the video below.

Dedicated to motion control, the development program allows you to use simple commands for positioning and setting all relevant parameters of the motion controller to accelerate application development. Driving a stepper motor, BLDC motor, or any other motor supported by Trinamic’s products was never so easy.

The TMCL-IDE includes the following: 

  • Text editor for writing and modifying TMCL™ programs
  • TMCL™ assembler and disassembler
  • TMCL™ module programmer
  • Easy, interactive way of setting the configuration of a module
  • Dialogue window for entering and executing TMCL™ commands in direct mode
  • Function for updating the firmware of a module
  • Option to log all data

Please be sure to always use the latest version of the TMCL-IDE as its functionality is being extended and improved constantly.
