Trinamical stepper breakout with TMC2209

About two weeks ago, we designed a breakout for the A4988

and we're still waiting for those prototype PCBs, but we're not one to wait, because we think that the idea is a good one…so why not design another version? This time with the Trinamic TMC2209

This is a similar "Step & Dir" type driver, with a wide motor range of 4.75 – 28 Volts and separate 3~5V IO pin. It has a couple nifty upgrades, though: like a diagnostic error output, index out so you know if you dropped a microstep, OTP config memory, and a half-duplex UART pin that you can use to configure and read stats from the chip. We kept the direction/step LEDs and the current-limit-set potentiometer, changed a few pins around, and voila! What do you think?

Interface protection design for edge computing gateways

With the rise of the Internet of Things and the popularity of cloud services, a new computing paradigm — edge computing — is beginning to appear in our field of vision. Edge computing advocates processing data at the edge of the network, thereby reducing system response time, protecting data privacy and security, extending battery life, and saving network bandwidth. Current applications are divided into industrial and automotive applications.

Industrial gateways

Industrial gateway is an indispensable device of the industrial Internet of Things, it is like the nerves of the human body, the perceived various types of information to the brain for processing, the brain through the operation to determine what kind of response to do, and then transmitted by the nerves to the limbs of the whole body. The gateway can collect PLC data, do remote maintenance and download programs, and has the functions of edge computing and protocol parsing. Industrial communication gateways can perform message conversion between various network protocols, and their functions can be implemented by a chip, an embedded device or board, or a stand-alone device.

Industrial Edge Computing Gateway Features:

1. Rich interface, support Ethernet, serial port, CAN port, IO port and other equipment access and Ethernet, 2G/3G/4G full Netcom network access;

2. Embedded hundreds of industrial protocols, supporting more than 99% PLC and the vast majority of industrial equipment access;

3. 8GB local storage + SD card support, support local data cache and offline application;

4. Three-in-one serial port, support RS485/RS232/RS422 three kinds of electrical interfaces;

5. Support edge computing, realize data optimization, real-time response, agile connection, model analysis and other services in the edge node of the Internet of Things, and effectively share cloud computing resources to support simultaneous access of multiple devices;

6. Support DC9~36V wide voltage input, adapt to a variety of complex industrial sites;

Features of the on-board gateway

Due to the particularity of the on-board power supply, all the product power ports taken from the car need to pass the surge load-dump test, Leiditech Electronics provides a professional protection solution for the load-dump test, compared with the industrial gateway, the on-board power supply protection needs are greater.

summary

The interface protection of electronic products needs to use overvoltage protection devices, many engineers realize that they want to use protection devices, but due to improper selection or failure to follow the ESD circuit PCB design principles, resulting in product electrostatic testing or EMC testing does not pass, product verification tests many times, waste of manpower and financial resources, causing product delays to market Things always occur, or over-design, resulting in cost pressure.

Leiditech Electronics specializes in providing customers with EMC design services for electromagnetic compatibility, providing laboratories to do thorough tests, from customers efficient, easy to complete the design, hoping that more customers can quickly pass EMC’s projects and improve product reliability. Leiditech Electronic Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory, which provides peripheral electrostatic surge protection reference circuits.
