TM5CAI8O8CL

Introduction

The TM5CAI8O8CL compact I/O module is a set of 4 TM5 24 Vdc input and output electronic modules assembled together.

This set includes:

o2 analog input electronic modules

o1 dummy module

o2 analog output electronic modules

For further information, refer to the TM5CAI8O8CL General Description.

General Description

To configure the TM5CAI8O8CL compact I/O module, select the User-Defined Parameters tab.

This table describes the General parameters of the TM5CAI8O8CL compact I/O module:

0

The address is automatically set when adding the compact I/O modules. The address value depends on the order of adding the module in the Devices tree.

The compact I/O modules does not support the possibility to change the address.

Set each of the I/O electronic modules individually using the SL.xx - SDEM (SDEM = Short Description of the Electronic Module, like 12In, 6Out, 4AI ±10 V / 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA etc.) folders available.

NOTE:

oSL stands for the position of the electronic module on the compact I/O electronic module.

oxx is the index number of the electronic module position (1, 2, 4, 5).

This table provides the I/O electronic module type associated with the positions 1, 2, 4, 5 on the TM5CAI8O8CL compact I/O module:
