TM3 CANopen Bus Coupler Presentation

Overview

The TM3 CANopen bus coupler is a device designed to manage CANopen communication when using TM2/TM3 I/O expansion modules in a distributed architecture.

The main elements of the TM3 CANopen bus coupler are:

1 Rotary switches

2 Expansion connector for TM2/TM3 I/O expansion modules

3 Two (2) isolated RJ45 CANopen ports (daisy-chained)

4 USB mini-B configuration port

5 24 Vdc power supply

6 Clip-on lock for 35 mm (1.38 in.) top hat section rail (DIN rail)

7 Status LEDs

The following table describes the status LEDs:

LED

Color

Status

Description

PWR

Green

On

Power is applied.

Off

Power is removed. All LED indicators are off.

RUN

Green

On

Device status is operational.

Flickering

In conjunction with a flickering ERR LED, automatic search for the bus communication speed.

Flashing

Device status is pre-operational.

Single flash

Device status is stopped.

Triple flash

Firmware upgrade.

ERR

Red

On

Bus off.

Flickering

In conjunction with a flickering RUN LED, automatic search for the bus communication speed.

Flashing

Invalid CANopen stack configuration.

Single flash

An internal error counter in the CAN controller has reached or exceeded the error frame limit threshold (error frame).

Double flash

Error control event detected. Detection of a guard event (NMT-Slave or NMT-master) or a heartbeat event (Heartbeat consumer).

Triple flash

Synchronization error detected: message not received from sync producer within the defined period.

Quadruple flash

Event-timer error detected: An expected PDO has not been received before the event-timer elapsed.

Off

No error detected.

I/O

Green

Flashing

Device has received and applied the expansion modules configuration.

On

Device is communicating with the expansion modules.

Red

Single flash

Expansion module configuration transfer timeout.

Green

Red

Flashing

On

The physical configuration is inconsistent with the software configuration. No data exchange (status and I/O) is occurring.

Green

Red

On

On

The physical configuration is inconsistent with the software configuration. I/O data is not applied.

Green

Red

On

Flashing

At least one TM2 or TM3 expansion module did not respond to the bus coupler for 10 consecutive cycles.

Off

No configuration. Device is not communicating with the expansion modules.

This timing diagram shows the different LEDs flashing behaviors:

NOTE: With the exception of the PWR LED, each LED is ON for a few seconds, then OFF during the boot sequence. The LED behavior rules apply when the boot is completed successfully.
