General Description

Overview

The TM5 Compact I/O modules are I/O expansion modules for your TM5 system. The compact I/O modules are a group of five, regular TM5 electronic I/O modules under a single reference. The individual electronic modules are identified by a four-character reference on their front face, while the reference of the entire group can be found on the side of the compact I/O module. Every regular TM5 electronic I/O module channel has a status LED.

The terminals blocks are assembled on the compact I/O module when delivered.

The compact I/O module uses a single address on the TM5 Bus.

The five electronic modules included in the compact I/O module are not individually replaceable.

NOTE: Unlike the TM5 digital and analog I/O electronic modules, the compact I/O modules described in this manual do not have hot-swap capability. Do not attempt to hot swap these modules.

Digital Input and Output Electronic Modules Features

Digital inputs convert the electronic input signal into a binary value in the controller.

Digital outputs convert the binary value in the controller into an electronic output signal.

Analog Input and Output Electronic Modules Features

Analog inputs convert measured values (voltages, currents) into numerical values which can be processed by the controller.

Analog outputs convert controller internal numerical values into voltages or currents.

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.
