TM5 / TM7 Distributed I/Os Architecture
The TM5 / TM7 System is an open system and can operate with the following open field bus standards:
oEtherNet/IP
The following figure represents TM5 distributed I/Os connected to a field bus master:
1 TM5 field bus interface
2 TM5 distributed expansion I/Os
1 + 2 TM5 distributed I/O island
3 TM5 remote I/O island
4 Field bus cable
5 TM5 expansion bus cable
The following figure represents TM7 distributed I/Os connected to a field bus master:
1 TM7 field bus interface I/O block
2 TM7 expansion I/O blocks
3 Field bus cable
4 TM7 expansion bus cables
TM5/TM7 Mixed Distributed I/Os
In addition to your distributed configuration you can place remote I/Os at a distance up to 100 m (328.1 ft) and create a TM5 / TM7 mixed distributed I/Os configuration.
The following figure represents a global TM5 / TM7 System architecture including TM5 / TM7 mixed distributed I/Os:
1 TM7 field bus interface I/O block
2 TM7 expansion I/O blocks
3 TM5 remote I/O island
4 TM5 field bus interface
5 TM5 distributed expansion I/Os
4 + 5 TM5 distributed I/O island
6 Field bus cables
7 TM7 Expansion bus cables
