To add an expansion module to your controller, select the expansion module in the
, drag it to the , and drop it on one of the highlighted nodes.For more information on adding a device to your project, refer to:
• Using the Drag-and-drop Method
• Using the Contextual Menu or Plus Button
The I/O mapping of an expansion module is carried out through the
tab of the expansion module configuration.This table describes how to configure an expansion module:
Step |

---|---|
1 |
Double-click the expansion module node in the to display the tab. |
2 |
Edit the parameters of the tab to configure the expansion module. |

Allows you to map the channel on a variable.
NOTE: Expand the list of variables from the category or .
You can map a channel by either creating a new variable or mapping to an existing variable. : Double-click the variable to enter the new variable name. A new variable is created if the variable does not already exist. : Double-click the variable and click to open the window. Select the variable from the list and press .This figure shows the window:![]() |

Indicates whether the channel is mapped on a new variable or an existing variable. |
|
Displays the channel name of the device. |
|
Displays the address of the channel.
NOTE: If the channel is mapped to an existing variable, corresponding address appears as strikethrough text in the table.
|
|
Displays the data type of the channel. |
|
Indicates the value taken by the output when the controller is in a or state.Double-click the cell to change the default value. You can toggle between the following values:
|
|
Displays the unit of the channel value. |
|
Allows you to enter a short description of the channel. |

Depending on the controller reference, you can configure the .This configuration setting is the parent for all parameters used in the application device tree.Some devices with cyclic calls, such as a , can be attached to a specific task. In the device, when this setting is set to , the setting set for the controller is used.The selection list offers all tasks currently defined in the active application. The default setting is . |
This tab allows you to configure the I/O module:
You can select the type of edge for the latch parameter, refer to Latch Principles:
Rising edge
Falling edge
Both edge
None
The filter parameter reduces the effect of bounce on a controller digital input.
You can configure these parameters on the following modules:
TM3DI• except TM3DI8A
TM3DM•
except TM3DM16R and TM3DM32RTM3XHSC202 / TM3XHSC202G and TM3XFHSC202 / TM3XFHSC202G
