This section provides a summary of the installation process covered in detail throughout the rest of this chapter. The information is presented in generalized steps which convey each of the operations that are required in the installation process. Each step is accompanied by a reference that locates the detailed information associated with it.
The installation process is divided into three phases described below.
In the first phase of the installation, you install the DIN rail, the Sercos III Bus Interface and any bus bases for any expansion modules that may be part of your TM5 System configuration:
Step |
Action |
Refer to |
---|---|---|
1 |
Develop an installation plan that covers all aspects of the installation. |
|
2 |
Fasten the DIN rail to the mounting plate of the enclosure. |
|
3 |
For distributed configuration install the Sercos III Bus Interface at the first (leftmost) location on the rail.
NOTE: In case of vertical installation the Sercos III Bus Interface must be at the lowest location and secured.
Refer to Acceptable Mounting positions.
NOTE: Go to Installation-Phase 2 if there are no expansion modules.

4 |
Determine the left-to-right arrangement of the expansion modules on the rail. |
– |
5 |
Attach the bus base (for slices) and compact I/O to the DIN rail in accordance with your expansion modules layout, working left to right from the Sercos III Bus Interface. |
|
6 |
Optional: Assign the module addresses in accordance with your expansion modules layout. |
In the second phase of the installation, you install the electronic modules and terminal blocks with or without coding:
Step |
Action |
For Details, see |
---|---|---|
1 |
Develop a coding scheme for the electronic modules that matches the expansion modules layout.
NOTE: The safety-related I/O slices do not support the coding of the electronic modules.
|
|
2 |
Install the electronic modules in their bus bases in accordance with your slice layout.
NOTE: To install a compact I/O block, remove the terminal block from the preceding device (controller, power distribution or I/O slice), then install the compact I/O block.
Refer to Mounting positions. |
|
3 |
Install a left bus base locking plate to the first slice of each remote configuration. |
|
4 |
Install a right bus base locking plate to the rightmost expansion module of each configuration. |
|
5 |
Mount the terminal blocks in accordance with your expansion modules layout. |
In the final phase, you install cable ducts, connect all grounding points, make the necessary signal and power connections, and commission your TM5 System.
