At this point, the diode should be blinking fast and can’t answer any commands. Disconnect the two
programming pins and reset the module. If the diode frequency didn’t change, the factory reset was not
successful.
6.4 Configuration with the TMCL-IDE Plugin
When using a PC and the TMCL-IDE, the PD57/60-1076 can be easily configured with the Module Settings
plugin. This tool provides a direct graphic interface to the most important parameters of the module.
Figure 3 shows the first tab of the tool, which is called Current. In this tab, the tool shows the current value
of the axis parameters 6, 7 and 8, related to the motor current, and allows the user to modify them. The
button on the bottom left corner sends a STAP for each of the parameters related to the current tab. In
this case, parameters 6, 7 and 8 would be stored in the EEPROM of the module.
The next tab, Microstep, works in a similar way and affects parameters 140, 141 and 142. When this tab is
active, these three parameters would be stored in EEPROM after clicking on Store Current Tab.

The StealthChop tab is shown on Figure 4. Parameter 137 “Chopconf” contains the value to be written in
the register with the same name. The graphical interface allows the user to change individual fields of the
register without having to look up the field bits in the reference manual of TMC5160.
The last field “Upper Velocity Limit” relates to parameter 136. When rotating at the desired speed limit,
click on “Read from TSTEP” to fill it automatically with the value from register 135 converted to step per
second. The velocity value is approximated because of the possible inaccuracy of the TMC5160 internal
clock.
Store Current Tab button stores in this case parameters 136 and 137 in the EEPROM.
SpreadCycle tab works like StealthChop tab for axis parameter 139 and the fields of its related register.
The last tab “Coolstep” is shown on Figure 5. To configure CoolStep, we offer a more advanced plugin (click
on “coolStep” on the plugin list of the module). The exceptions are parameters 22 and 182, Threshold
Speed and Deactivation Threshold Speed respectively. Rotate the motor at the desired speed for each
parameter and click on Read from TSTEP to assign the correct value. Parameters 22 and 182 together with
138 (which contains configuration from the CoolStep plugin) will be stored in the EEPROM after a click on
