This manual provides an overview of the TM5 / TM7 System:
The TM5 System is comprised of IP20-rated components with which you can create distributed and/or remote I/O architectures.
A typical TM5 System includes a controller, a Sercos III Bus Interface, slices and accessories. These components must be installed in enclosures appropriate to the intended operating environment and secured by a keyed or tool locking mechanism.
The TM7 System is comprised of IP67-rated components with which you can create distributed and/or remote I/O architectures.
A TM7 System can be expanded from the Sercos III Bus Interfaces through transmitter modules and including I/O blocks, expansion blocks and accessories which can be used in environments conforming to IP67 (splashing water, oil, dust, etc...).
