Compatible Logic/Motion Controller Types
The following Logic/Motion Controller types with the type labels TM262Mxxx provide an Ethernet port with Sercos interface. Therefore, they support the integration of Embedded Safety by means of an SLC connected to the Sercos bus:
oTM262M15MESS8T
oTM262M25MESS8T
oTM262M35MESS8T
The types TM262Lxxx do not provide an Ethernet port for connecting a Sercos interface and therefore cannot be used in an application as described here.
NOTE: Observe the specific limitations for the Logic/Motion Controller used. Refer to the chapter System Limitations for details on the supported system architecture and the maximum number of connectable Sercos slaves and safety-related TM5/TM7 I/O modules.
In general, EcoStruxure Machine Expert projects are compatible for the different Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller types and can therefore be transferred as long as Sercos-related requirements and constraints are considered.
Safety-related Machine Expert - Safety projects are compatible for the Safety Logic Controller types TM5CSLC100FS and TM5CSLC200FS if the maximum number of safety-related modules is not exceeded. Refer to the section System Limitations for details.
Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller projects are not compatible with PacDrive 3 projects and cannot be transferred between these systems. It is, however, possible to transfer the safety-related project part via export/import. Refer to the chapter <Font uline="N" o="N" fa="Oblique" fw="Regular">Importing/Exporting Projects</Font> of the EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety User Guide for details.
NOTE: The migration of a safety-related project from a PacDrive 3 system implies a following validation/re-certification of the complete safety function.
For Logic/Motion Controller systems with Embedded Safety as described in this document, the following limitations apply:
oOne SLC is allowed per Logic/Motion Controller.
oDepending on the Logic/Motion Controller type and the Sercos cycle time, up to 40 Sercos slaves are supported. When embedding safety as described here, the SLC is also considered as one slave.
oThe Logic/Motion Controller types TM262Mx5x support a maximum number of 30 safety-related TM5/TM7 I/O modules. There is no restriction how these modules are distributed to the TM5 bus couplers available in your application.
oThe TM5CSLC100FS supports up to 20 safety modules connected to the bus coupler. The TM5CSLC200FS allows 30 safety modules (in combination with the Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller).
oA maximum number of 63 modules are supported per TM5NS31 bus coupler. Example: 30 safety-related modules (depending on the SLC type) and 33 standard modules.
Refer to M262 Logic/Motion Controller - Programming Guide for more information and other system limitations.
