Finally, one that knows what he writes! Reading the schematic I too had the impression I should be able to feed the SilentStepSticksZTMC5160HV, Watterott informed me that they are available again. So I would be using a Meanwell 500W 24 VDC to power the board and an additional Meanwell 600W 48 VDC power supply for the stepper motor drivers. As of now, I am still working to organize my workshop foby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
Dear VDX, I do appreciate your answer. Too many that were attacking me personally are silent since I wrote the response citing an entry in the FAQ section of Trinamic, now part of Maxxim. If I do understand what you wrote I would tend to consider your answer as being wrong or at least I was unable to understand it. The higher voltage applied to a stepper motor and the current flow limited to itsby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
I am advancing to include my Ender 5 Plus in my dust-contaminated workshop. I cannot place the printer in any other room, so a smart solution is what I need. I also want to mention that I will upgrade my printer with a BTT-SKR-PRO V1.2 and use SilentStepSticksTMC5161 that can handle up to 20A and 60VDC. I do expect to require below 3A and the power supply is with my Meanwell 600W 48VDC. I have haby Hellmut1956 - General
Funny, as long as you dear friends felt arrogant and aggressive attacking me personally, I got a lot of answers. After I listed what Trinamic writes on their website, silence is the response. It is easier to attack and be aggressive and arrogant when you feel to be better informed! I do accept and confess that the interpretation I made after having done those experiments were partly wrong. The cby Hellmut1956 - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Funny! All those that attacked me and that is what I feel stopped responding after I proved what I wrote referring to an entry at the website of Trinamics. It is easy to be arrogant and aggressive, but it is much more difficult to face to have been wrong. I will accept that from my experiments I did take a wrong interpretation. Correct is, that the torque a stepper can deliver is related to theby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
I am attacked pretty strongly at forums dedicated to 3D Printing because of the benefits I mentioned that a 48 VDC power supply for the SilentStepSticks TMC5160hv. Just to feed information from the Trinamic website, the company that develops driver ICs used in many 3D printers and Watterott that works together with Trinamic to develop the SilentStepSticks and regarding my choice the SilentStepStiby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
Here an extract from an article published: Begin: Chopping the drive voltage provides better torque-speed characteristics Stepper motor performance Providing higher voltage to the motor windings effectively pushes the torque-speed curve “out,” resulting in higher torque production at higher speeds. Image credit: PBC Linear Chopper drives supply a high level of voltage (often up to eight times tby Hellmut1956 - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
@Viktor: My thinking is that there should be no physical connection to other parts of the board circuitry. The schematic should only have a trace to the Vm pins where the SilenteStepStick is plugged in. There should be no reason for such a connection to other parts of the circuit of the board. My health problems make the advance of my projects very slow. But once I have experience in using the Eby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
On a serious response, first my thx. Let us go point by point: You are right, the current limit is the result of the mechanical and electrical parameters of the coils. You are also right to make a difference between the power a motor is fed with and the power torque as a result is a result of the inefficiencies of the motor. So the effective torque a motor offers is lower. Now the next point isby Hellmut1956 - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
@gafu: Taken. I have no interest to convince any of you of anything. Apparently, the 3D printer community is living in its own world, a different one from mine. The reason I had published the thread was to see if I could find anyone to exchange with. I have been working for more than 7 years with stepper motors and I have met key people from Trinamic and shows in Germany and learned from theirby Hellmut1956 - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors

Yes, the datasheet from Trinamic for the TMC5160hv says 60VDC!by Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
I am an idealist! I still hope to find 3D printing aficionados that know what I am writing about. Additionally, how should one in an electronics forum know about my controller board and my key objective does not have to find out what happens to my board if I connect the 48VDC to the "Motor Power" connections. If worse comes to worst that is what I will have to do, connect the 48VDC and find out iby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
Hello to all readers. More than 7 years ago I did occupy myself intensely with stepper motors and with Trinamic modules. Using their stepRocker module and their IDE I was able to do many experiments to understand the implication that the Trinamic IDE made available to me controlling a stepper motor. I did use this combination of a stepper motor and the stepRocker module as part of my efforts toby Hellmut1956 - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
This is my first time publishing here in this forum. I hope This is the right place. I do own a recently purchased Creality Ender 5 Plus printer and I have purchased to upgrade it as soon as I have some basic knowledge of printing with the configuration it was delived. Having started to play with Trinamic controllers for step motors a bit over 7 years ago I do have some experience with Trinamicby Hellmut1956 - Tech-Talk
