TM3XFHSC202 / TM3XFHSC202G Module Configuration

Overview

The embedded I/O function allows configuration of the inputs and outputs.

Accessing the I/O Configuration Window

Follow these steps to access the I/O configuration window:

Step

Description

1

In the Devices tree, under the IO_Bus node, double-click the module name.

2

Select the I/O Configuration tab.

Configuration of Inputs

This figure shows the I/O Configuration tab for inputs:

For each input not used by a counting function, you can configure the following parameters:

Parameter

Value

Description

Constraint

Latch

No*

Yes

Allows incoming pulses with amplitude widths shorter than the controller scan time to be captured and recorded.

Available if Event disabled.

Use latch inputs in MAST task only.

Event

No*

Rising edge

Falling edge

Both edges

Event detection

Available if:

  • Latch disabled and

  • The module is one of the two first TM3XFHSC202 / TM3XFHSC202G modules on the bus.

Event Name

Allows you to name the external event to reference in a task to use the input event.

Available if Event different than no.

49 characters maximum.

To use this event you must create an External Event task and give it the same name than the event.

Configuration of Outputs

This figure shows the I/O Configuration tab for outputs:

This table presents the function of the different parameters:

Parameter

Value

Description

Fallback mode

Maintain

Fallback Value*

Reflex Output configured

Reflex Output not configured

Allows you to set the fallback mode when:

  • The controller is in STOPPED or HALTED state.

  • The connection between the controller and the module is lost.

NOTE: Maintain is disabled.

Allows you to set the fallback mode when the connection between the controller and the module is lost.

NOTE: When the controller is in STOPPED state, the behavior is defined in PLC Settings tab.

Fallback value

0*

1

Allows you to set the fallback value.

Available if Fallback mode set to Fallback Value.

Rearming Output Mode

Auto*

Manual

Select the rearming output mode:

  • Automatic rearming: as soon as the detected error is corrected, the output is set again according to the current value assigned to it and the diagnostic value is reset.

  • Manual rearming: when an error is detected, the status is memorized and the output is forced to tri-state until user manually clears the status (see I/O mapping channel).

* Parameter default value

In the case of a short-circuit or current overload, the common group of outputs automatically enters into thermal protection mode (all outputs in the group are set to 0), and are then periodically rearmed (each 10 seconds) to test the connection state. However, you must be aware of the effect of this rearming on the machine or process being controlled.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED MACHINE START-UP
Inhibit the automatic rearming of outputs if this feature is an undesirable behavior for your machine or process.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
