TM3AM6 / TM3AM6G

Introduction

The TM3AM6 (screw terminal block) / TM3AM6G (spring terminal block) expansion module feature 4 analog input channels and 2 analog output channels with 12-bit resolution.

The channel input types are:

o0...10 V

o-10...+10 V

o0...20 mA

o4...20 mA

For information on the diagnostic codes produced by each input type, refer to Analog I/0 Modules Diagnostics.

The channel output types are:

o0...10 V

o-10...+10 V

o0...20 mA

o4...20 mA

For further hardware information, refer to TM3AM6 / TM3AM6G.

NOTE: If you have physically wired the analog channel for a voltage signal and you configure the channel for a current signal in EcoStruxure Machine Expert, you may damage the analog circuit.

NOTICE

INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT

Verify that the physical wiring of the analog circuit is compatible with the software configuration for the analog channel.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Configuring the Module

For each input, you can define:

Input Filter

0...1000

0

Specifies the first order filter time constant (0...10 s) in increments of 10 ms.

Sampling

1ms/Channel

10ms/Channel

1ms/Channel

Specifies the sampling period of the channel.

If an input filter is active, sampling is set internally to 1 ms.

Status Enabled

Yes

No

Yes

Enables the diagnostic byte of each channel.

If the status is disabled (value = No), the status bytes IBStatusIWx do not contain relevant information.

1 The 12-bit data (0 to 4095) processed in the analog I/O module can be linear-converted to a value between -32768 and 32767.

For each output, you can define:
