EcoStruxure Machine Expert version 1.1 does not support the M238, M258, LMC058 and LMC078 controllers.

General Description

Introduction

The range of TM7 Analog I/O blocks includes:

Analog input blocks

• Analog temperature input blocks

Analog output blocks

• Analog mixed input/output blocks

The TM7 Analog I/O blocks need to be associated with IP67 power cables, TM7 bus cables and I/O cables.

Analog Input Block Features

Analog input blocks convert measured values (voltages, currents) into numerical values, which can be processed by the controller.

Analog Temperature Block Features

Temperature measurement values are converted into number values which can be processed by the controller using temperature blocks. For temperature measurements, the temperature block returns the measured value using 0.1°C (0.18°F) steps.

The step value 0.1°C (0.18°F) is supported as standard by all temperature blocks.
