The TSM11Q-1RM Integrated StepSERVO Motor is a unit that combines a NEMA 11 stepper motor and a servo drive in a single device. The drive power, located at the rear of the motor, must be supplied by an external DC power source. See the Recommended Products below for a compatible 24-volt power supply.
StepSERVO technology combines the high torque capabilities of a stepper motor with the dynamic closed-loop control of a servo system. The result is an all-in-one motion control solution that operates quietly and efficiently, requiring only the minimum amount of current to maintain commanded position and speed. The "Boost" torque of 25-50% above nominal holding torque increases acceleration limits, leading to faster cycle times. Integrated StepSERVO motors can be applied in systems where a traditional stepper motor would not achieve the required high precision.
The TSM11Q-1RM can operate in various control modes, including Streaming Commands using SCL or Modbus RTU, Pulse and Direction modes, and Velocity; it also has the capability to run a Q program stored in non-volatile memory. Q programs are created using Applied Motion's Q Programmer software, which provides advanced commands for motion, I/O, conditional processing, multitasking, math functions, and more. All TSM11 integrated motors are configured and tuned using Applied Motion's Step-Servo Quick Tuner software with the integrated Q Programmer.
Each TSM11 integrated motor comes with 4 high-speed digital inputs (1 MHz) and 2 digital outputs. The digital inputs accept 5-24 VDC signals and can be used to connect pulse and direction signals, end-of-travel limit switches, quadrature encoder signals, PLC outputs, sensors, or other types of signals. The digital outputs can be connected to PLC inputs, counters, lights, relays, or other devices.
The TSM11Q-1RM includes an RS-485 port for programming and serial communications, allowing the use of Modbus RTU or Applied Motion's Streaming Command Language (SCL). A 4,096 count/rev magnetic incremental encoder is integrated within the same enclosure as the drive electronics and is used for closed-loop servo control to achieve highly precise position and speed control. Encoder counts can be accessed over the network or from within the Q program using SCL registers.
