Color Coding of the TM5 System

Overview

The following figure shows colors of the TM5 components:

1 Sercos III Bus Interface TM5NS31

2 TM5 System I/O Modules

3 TM5 System Compact I/O Modules

Sercos III Bus Interface Color Assignment

Two colors are used for the four components of a Sercos III Bus Interface:

• White for the:

  • Sercos III Bus Interface bus base and,

  • Sercos III Bus Interface module.

• Gray for the:

  • Interface Power Distribution Module (IPDM) and,

  • associated terminal block.

Slice Color Assignment

For modules other than the Compact I/O, an assembled TM5 module (referred to as a slice) is composed of a bus base, an electronic module, and a terminal block. Each slice of the TM5 System is color coded for improved identification.

Different colors are used for the modules:

• White

• Gray

• Black

• Red

The color of a slice is defined by a combination of:

• Input or output voltage,

• Functionality.

The following table gives the colors of the different types of slices:

Compact I/O Color Assignment

The color of the compact I/O and their removable terminal blocks is white.
