Expansion Modules I/O Configuration General Information

I/O Configuration General Information

Introduction
This chapter provides general information to help you configure TM3 expansion
modules for EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic.

I/O Configuration General Description

Introduction
In your project, you can add I/O expansion modules to your M221 Logic Controller
to increase the number of digital and analog inputs and outputs over those native
to the logic controller itself (embedded I/O).
You can add either TM3 or TM2 I/O expansion modules to the logic controller, and
further expand the number of I/O via TM3 transmitter and receiver modules to
create remote I/O configurations. Special rules apply in all cases when creating
local and remote I/O expansions, and when mixing TM2 and TM3 I/O expansion
modules (refer to Maximum Hardware Configuration (see Modicon M221 Logic
Controller, Hardware Guide)).
The I/O expansion bus of the M221 Logic Controller is created when you
assemble the I/O expansion modules to the logic controller. I/O expansion
modules are considered as external devices in the logic controller architecture and
are treated, as such, differently than the embedded I/Os of the logic controller.

I/O Expansion Bus Errors

If the logic controller cannot communicate with one or more I/O expansion
modules that is (are) contained in the program configuration and those modules
are not configured as optional modules (refer to Optional I/O Expansion Modules,
page 24), the logic controller considers it as an I/O expansion bus error. The
unsuccessful communication may be detected during the startup of the logic
controller or during runtime, and there may be any number of causes. Causes of
communication exception on the I/O expansion bus include, among other things,
disconnection of or physically missing I/O modules, electromagnetic radiation
beyond published environmental specifications, or otherwise, inoperative
modules.
During runtime, if an I/O expansion bus error is detected, the diagnostic
information is contained in %SW118 and %SW120 system words, and the red LED
indicator labeled ERR flashes.

Active I/O Expansion Bus Error Handling

System bit %S106 is set to 0 by default to specify the use of active I/O error
handling. The application can set this bit to 1 to use passive I/O error handling
instead.
By default, when the logic controller detects a TM3 module in bus communication
error, it sets the bus to a "bus off" condition whereby the TM3 expansion module
outputs, the input image and the output image are set to 0. A TM3 expansion
module is considered to be in bus communication error when an I/O exchange
with the expansion module has been unsuccessful for at least two consecutive
bus task cycles. When a bus communication error occurs, bit n of %SW120 is set
to 1, where n is the expansion module number, and %SW118 bit 14 is set to 0.

10 EIO0000003345.04
I/O Configuration General Information Expansion Modules

Normal I/O expansion bus operation can only be restored after eliminating the
source of the error and performing one of the following:
• Power cycle
• New application download
• Application request through a rising edge on bit %S107
• With EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic by selection of the Initialize
Controller command

Passive I/O Expansion Bus Error Handling

The application can set system bit %S106 to 1 to use passive I/O error handling.
This error handling is provided to afford compatibility with previous firmware
versions and previous controllers that the M221 Logic Controller replaces.
When passive I/O error handling is in use, the controller attempts to continue data
bus exchanges with the modules during bus communication errors. While the
expansion bus error persists, the logic controller attempts to re-establish
communication on the bus with incommunicative modules, depending on the type
and version of I/O expansion module, TM3 or TM2:
• For TM3 I/O expansion modules SV(1) less than 2.0, the value of the I/O
channels is maintained (Maintain values) for approximately 10 seconds
while the logic controller attempts to re-establish communication. If the logic
controller cannot re-establish communications within that time, all affected
TM3 I/O expansion outputs are set to 0.
• For TM3 I/O expansion modules SV(1) greater than or equal to 2.0, the value
of the I/O channels is maintained (Maintain values) for approximately 1
second while the logic controller attempts to re-establish communication. If
the logic controller cannot re-establish communications within that time, all
affected TM3 I/O expansion outputs are set to fallback outputs configured in
the Configuring Digital Outputs in the Configuration Tab, page 31.
• For the TM2 I/O expansion modules that may be part of the configuration, the
value of the I/O channels is maintained indefinitely. That is to say, the outputs
of the TM2 I/O expansion modules are set to Maintain values until either
power is cycled on the logic controller system, or you issue an Initialize
Controller command with EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic.
(1) SV refers to the version and is printed on the product label.
In these cases, the logic controller continues to solve logic and the embedded I/O
continues to be managed by the application (Managed by application (see
Modicon M221, Logic Controller, Programming Guide)) while it attempts to re-
establish communication with the incommunicative I/O expansion modules. If the
communication is successful, the I/O expansion modules resume to be managed
by the application. If communication with the I/O expansion modules is
unsuccessful, you must resolve the reason for the unsuccessful communication,
and then cycle power on the logic controller system, or issue an Initialize
Controller command with EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic.
The value of the incommunicative I/O expansion modules input image is
maintained and the output image value is set by the application.
Further, if the incommunicative I/O module(s) disturb the communication with
unaffected modules, the unaffected modules will also be considered in error and
their corresponding bit in %SW120 will be set to 1. However, with the ongoing data
exchanges that characterize the Passive I/O Expansion Bus Error Handling, the
unaffected modules will nonetheless apply the data sent, and will not apply the
fallback values as for the incommunicative module.
Therefore, you must monitor within your application the state of the bus and the
error state of the module(s) on the bus, and to take the appropriate action
necessary given your particular application.

EIO0000003345.04 11
Expansion Modules I/O Configuration General Information

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Include in your risk assessment the possibility of unsuccessful
communication between the logic controller and any I/O expansion modules.
• If the “Maintain values” option deployed during an I/O expansion bus error is
incompatible with your application, use alternate means to control your
application for such an event.
• Monitor the state of the I/O expansion bus using the dedicated system words
and take appropriate actions as determined by your risk assessment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

For more information on the actions taken upon start-up of the logic controller
when an I/O expansion bus error is detected, refer to Optional I/O Expansion
Modules, page 24.

Restarting the I/O Expansion Bus

When active I/O error handling is being applied, that is, TM3 outputs set to 0 when
a bus communication error is detected, the application can request a restart of the
I/O expansion bus while the logic controller is still running (without the need for a
Cold Start, Warm Start, power cycle, or application download).
System bit %S107 is available to request restarts of the I/O expansion bus. The
default value of this bit is 0. The application can set %S107 to 1 to request a
restart of the I/O expansion bus. On detection of a rising edge of this bit, the logic
controller reconfigures and restarts the I/O expansion bus if all of the following
conditions are met:
• %S106 is set to 0 (that is, I/O expansion bus activity is stopped)
• %SW118 bit 14 is set to 0 (I/O expansion bus is in error)
• At least one bit of %SW120 is set to 1 (at least one expansion module is in
bus communication error)
If %S107 is set to 1 and any of the above conditions is not met, the logic controller
takes no action.

Match Software and Hardware Configuration

The I/O that may be embedded in your controller is independent of the I/O that you
may have added in the form of I/O expansion. It is important that the logical I/O
configuration within your program matches the physical I/O configuration of your
installation. If you add or remove any physical I/O to or from the I/O expansion bus
or, depending on the controller reference, to or from the controller (in the form of
cartridges), then you must update your application configuration. This is also true
for any field bus devices you may have in your installation. Otherwise, there is the
potential that the expansion bus or field bus no longer function while the
embedded I/O that may be present in your controller continues to operate.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete any type
of I/O expansions on your I/O bus, or you add or delete any devices on your
field bus.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

I/O Configuration General Information Expansion Modules

Presentation of the Optional Feature for I/O Expansion Modules

I/O expansion modules can be marked as optional in the configuration. The
Optional module feature provides a more flexible configuration by the
acceptance of the definition of modules that are not physically attached to the
logic controller. Therefore, a single application can support multiple physical
configurations of I/O expansion modules, allowing a greater degree of scalability
without the necessity of maintaining multiple application files for the same
application.
You must be fully aware of the implications and impacts of marking I/O modules as
optional in your application, both when those modules are physically absent and
present when running your machine or process. Be sure to include this feature in
your risk analysis.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Include in your risk analysis each of the variations of I/O configurations that can
be realized marking I/O expansion modules as optional, and in particular the
establishment of TM3 Safety modules (TM3S…) as optional I/O modules, and
make a determination whether it is acceptable as it relates to your application.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

NOTE: For more details about this feature, refer to Optional I/O Expansion
Modules, page 24.

Expansion Modules I/O Configuration General Information

Using I/O Modules in a Configuration

Adding a Module
The following steps explain how to add an expansion module to the logic controller
in an EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic project:

Step Action

1 Click the Configuration tab in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic window.

2 In the catalog area, click one of the following module types to expand the list of expansion
modules:
• TM3 Digital I/O Modules
• TM3 Analog I/O Modules
• TM3 Expert I/O Modules
• TM2 Digital I/O Modules
• TM2 Analog I/O Modules

3 Select an expansion module from the list.

Result: The description of the physical characteristics of the selected expansion module
appears in the bottom of the catalog area.

4 Drag the selected expansion module to the editor area and drop the module on the right-
hand side of the controller or the last expansion module in the configuration or the TM3 bus
coupler.

Result: The module is added under the My Controller > I/O Bus branch of the hardware
tree and the description of the physical characteristics of the selected module appears in the
bottom of the editor area. With a TM3 bus coupler, the module is added under the device
TM3BC• > I/O Bus branch of the hardware tree.

Inserting a Module Between two Existing Modules

Drag the module between two modules, or between the controller and the first
module until a vertical green bar appears and then drop the module.
NOTE: The addresses change when you change the position of modules by
inserting a new module. For example, if you move an input module from
position 4 to position 2, the addresses change from I4.x to I2.x, and all
corresponding addresses in the program are automatically renamed.
The I/O that may be embedded in your controller is independent of the I/O that you
may have added in the form of I/O expansion. It is important that the logical I/O
configuration within your program matches the physical I/O configuration of your
installation. If you add or remove any physical I/O to or from the I/O expansion bus
or, depending on the controller reference, to or from the controller (in the form of
cartridges), then you must update your application configuration. This is also true
for any field bus devices you may have in your installation. Otherwise, there is the
potential that the expansion bus or field bus no longer function while the
embedded I/O that may be present in your controller continues to operate.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete any type
of I/O expansions on your I/O bus, or you add or delete any devices on your
field bus.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

I/O Configuration General Information Expansion Modules

Replacing an Existing Expansion Module

You can replace an existing module with a new module by dragging the new
module and dropping it onto the module to be replaced.
A message appears asking you to confirm the operation. Click Yes to continue.

Removing a Module
You can remove an expansion module by pressing the Delete key or by
right-clicking the module and clicking Remove on the contextual menu that
appears.
If the expansion module contains at least one address being used in a program, a
message appears asking you to confirm the operation. Click Yes to continue.

Mixing Expansion Module Types

You can mix different I/O module types on the same logic controller (for example,
TM2 and TM3 modules).
NOTE: The I/O bus of the logic controller operates at the speed of the slower
module type. For example, when both TM2 and TM3 modules are used, the I/
O bus of the logic controller operates at the speed of the TM2 modules
Place any TM2 module(s) at the end of your configuration after any TM3
module(s):

Maximum Hardware Configuration

EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic displays a message when:
• The maximum number of modules supported by the logic controller is
exceeded.
• The total power consumption of all expansion modules directly connected to
the logic controller exceeds the maximum current delivered by the logic
controller.
Refer to the hardware guide of your controller for more information on the
maximum supported configuration.

EIO0000003345.04 23
Expansion Modules I/O Configuration General Information

Optional I/O Expansion Modules

Presentation
I/O expansion modules can be marked as optional in the configuration. The
Optional module feature provides a more flexible configuration by the
acceptance of the definition of modules that are not physically attached to the
logic controller. Therefore, a single application can support multiple physical
configurations of I/O expansion modules, allowing a greater degree of scalability
without the necessity of maintaining multiple application files for the same
application.
Without the Optional module feature, when the logic controller starts up the I/O
expansion bus (following a power cycle, application download or initialization
command), it compares the configuration defined in the application with the
physical I/O modules attached to the I/O bus. Among other diagnostics made, if
the logic controller determines that there are I/O modules defined in the
configuration that are not physically present on the I/O bus, an error is detected
and the I/O bus does not start.
With the Optional module feature, the logic controller ignores the absent I/O
expansion modules that you have marked as optional, which then allows the logic
controller to start the I/O expansion bus.
The logic controller starts the I/O expansion bus at configuration time (following a
power cycle, application download, or initialization command) even if optional
expansion modules are not physically connected to the logic controller.
The following module types can be marked as optional:
• TM3 I/O expansion modules
• TM2 I/O expansion modules
NOTE: TM3 Transmitter/Receiver modules (TM3XTRA1 and the TM3XREC1)
and TMC2 cartridges cannot be marked as optional.
The application must be configured with a functional level of at least Level 3.2 for
modules marked as optional to be recognized as such by the logic controller.
You must be fully aware of the implications and impacts of marking I/O modules as
optional in your application, both when those modules are physically absent and
present when running your machine or process. Be sure to include this feature in
your risk analysis.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Include in your risk analysis each of the variations of I/O configurations that can
be realized marking I/O expansion modules as optional, and in particular the
establishment of TM3 Safety modules (TM3S…) as optional I/O modules, and
make a determination whether it is acceptable as it relates to your application.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

EIO0000003345.04 25
Expansion Modules I/O Configuration General Information

The selection of the Optional module feature is used by the logic controller to
start the I/O bus. The following system words are updated to indicate the status of
the physical I/O bus configuration:

System Word Comment

%SW118 Bits 13 and 14 are pertinent to the I/O module status relative to the I/O
bus.
Logic controller status
word Bit 13, if FALSE, indicates that there are mandatory modules as
defined by the I/O expansion bus configuration that are absent or
otherwise inoperative when the logic controller attempts to start the I/O
expansion bus. In this case, the I/O bus does not start.

Bit 14, if FALSE, indicates that one or more modules have ceased
communication with the logic controller after the I/O expansion bus is
started. This is the case whether an I/O expansion module is defined as
mandatory or as an optional module but present at start-up.

%SW119 Each bit, starting with bit 1 (bit 0 is reserved), is dedicated to a

configured I/O expansion module and indicates whether the module is
I/O expansion module optional (TRUE) or mandatory (FALSE) when the controller attempts to
configuration start the I/O bus.
%SW120 Each bit, starting with bit 1 (bit 0 is reserved), is dedicated to a
configured I/O expansion module and indicates the status of the
I/O expansion module module.
status
When the logic controller attempts to start the I/O bus, if the value of %
SW120 is non-zero (indicating that an error is detected for at least one
of the modules), the I/O expansion bus does not start unless the
corresponding bit in %SW119 is set to TRUE (indicating the module is
marked as an optional module).

When the I/O bus is started, if the value of %SW120 is modified by the
system, it indicates that an error is detected on one or more I/O
expansion modules (regardless of the Optional module feature).

26 EIO0000003345.04
I/O Configuration General Information Expansion Modules

Internal ID Codes
Logic controllers identify expansion modules by a simple internal ID code. This ID
code is not specific to each reference, but identifies the structure of the expansion
module. Therefore, different references can share the same ID code.
If you declare two modules with the same internal ID code next to each other in
the configuration and both are declared as optional, a message appears at the
bottom of the Configuration window. There must be at least one non-optional
module between two optional modules.

Filtering of Analog Input Channels

Presentation
Sampling and filtering can be applied to the signal received on analog input
channels:
1. Sampling
The sampling filter first calculates a moving average of the input values to
remove random variations and highlight cyclic components.
The sampling period used can be 1 ms, 10 ms or 100 ms, depending on the
type of TM3 analog I/O module used.
In the Configuration tab, you can choose between two sampling period
values for some TM3 analog I/O modules:
• a lower value (fast)
• a higher value (slow)
2. Filter (Optional)
A first-order filter is then applied to the values generated by the sampling
filter. Specify the time constant to use, in units of 10 ms. If 0 is specified, no
filtering is applied and the values calculated by the Sampling filter are
available in the application.
You configure sampling and filtering in the Configuration properties of TM3 Analog
expansion modules:

module appears in the bottom of the catalog area.

4 Drag the selected Transmitter and Receiver module to the editor area and drop the module
on the right-hand side of the controller or the last expansion module in the configuration.

Result: The Transmitter and Receiver module is added under the My Controller > I/O Bus
branch of the hardware tree and the description of the physical characteristics of the
Transmitter and Receiver module appears in the bottom of the editor area.

5 Add further expansion modules to the right of the Transmitter and Receiver module pair, up
to the maximum number of modules allowed.
NOTE: Only one Transmitter and Receiver module pair can be added to a
configuration.

General Principles: TM3 Safety Functionality Modes

Interlock
Description
In 2 channel operation, both inputs related to both channels must be seen open
before a safety cycle can be started and the output can be closed. This
functionality ensures that the output circuit cannot be activated if one of the input
channels is not able to be open (for example in case of contact malfunction or
short circuit).
The interlock function verifies that both K1 and K2 relays are open before the
safety cycle. In case of short power-supply interruption, one of the relays may be
off while the other remains on. To allow the operation of the module on power
return, the power-supply interruption should be at least 100 ms in duration. If not,
the module may detect that it is in an error condition and not allow the safety cycle
to start. For more information, see the TM3 Safety Module - Hardware Guide.

Power Cycle
The interlock condition is reset by a power cycle. Information about a possible
malfunction detected, provided by the interlock, is interrupted and not recovered
before the next safety cycle.

Reset
The logic controller can request to reset the safety module by communicating with
the safety module on the TM3 Bus.

68 EIO0000003345.04
TM3 Safety Modules Configuration Expansion Modules

When the reset signal is active, both safety module internal relays are deactivated.
The reset signal can be used to reset the module after the activation of the
interlock function.
NOTE: The reset signal overwrites an activated interlock function. Information
about a possible malfunction detected, provided by the interlock, is interrupted
and not recovered before the next safety cycle.
The interruption of the interlock function could lead to the degradation of the safety
level of the system. The reset of this function should only be done manually after
verification of the intended functionality.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Do not use the reset function to reset an interlock programmatically.
• Always verify the interlock notification before using the reset function.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

Start
Description
Two modes are available for the start functionality:

Non-monitored start: When non-monitored, the start mode can be:

• Manually controlled (conditioned by the input state)
• Automatic (hardwired)

Monitored start: When monitored, the start mode is manually controlled (conditioned by
the input edge).

This figure represents the events sequence for the two start modes available:

Events description:
1. Monitored start condition is triggered by a falling edge on the start input.
2. Non-monitored start condition is available as long as the start input is on.
The start condition can be valid before the safety-related input.
3. The outputs get activated only if both start and safety-related input conditions
are valid.
NOTE: For a monitored start, the falling edge on the start input must appear
within 20 seconds (± 5 seconds) after activation of the start input at nominal
supply voltage.
Both the safety-related conditions and the start conditions must be valid before
allowing the activation of outputs.

EIO0000003345.04 69
Expansion Modules TM3 Safety Modules Configuration

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use either the monitored start or the non-monitored start as a safety-
related function.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

Manual Non-Monitored Start

The start condition is valid when the start input is closed (start switch is pressed).
This figure represents how to connect a switch on a TM3 safety module to
configure a manual non-monitored start:

Automatic Start
There is no start interlock when automatic start is used. After a power cycle, the
output behavior depends solely on the state of the inputs.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use automatic start if a start interlock is required in your application after
a power cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

The module is in automatic start mode if the start input is permanently closed
(hardwired).
This figure represents how to connect a switch on a TM3 safety module to
configure an automatic start:

NOTE: There is no start interlock in automatic start after a power cycle.

TM3 Safety Modules Configuration Expansion Modules

Monitored Start
In monitored start mode, the outputs are activated when:
• All required inputs are closed.
• A falling edge is applied to the start input. A falling edge means that the start
switch is pressed and released again.
At nominal supply voltage, the start switch must be released within 20 seconds (±
5 seconds) after it has been closed. The exact delay depends on supply voltage
and ambient temperature.
This figure represents how to connect a switch on a TM3 safety module to
configure a monitored start (when available on the module):

External Device Monitoring (EDM)

Description
External device monitoring functionality is used to ensure that external contactors
controlled by the safety module outputs are able to interrupt the safety-related
circuit. This functionality is implemented by adding the external contactor
feedback to the start condition of the safety module.
The external contactor must provide a feedback through a normally closed
auxiliary contact forcibly guided by its normally open safety-related contact. The
start condition is valid only when the external feedback (normally closed) is
closed.
External device monitoring can be performed on:
• 1 channel.
External feedback is provided to the start condition.
• 2 channels for short circuit detection.
External feedback is provided to the start condition and to the S4 input.
NOTE: The state of the external device is only monitored when the safety
module is analyzing the start condition validity. When outputs are activated,
the external device is not monitored.

Synchronization Time Monitoring for TM3SAK6R / TM3SAK6RG

Description
The synchronization time monitoring is relevant for 2-channel applications. It
monitors both inputs to determine that they are activated simultaneously (within a
defined time). The synchronization time monitoring allows to detect a contact error
(short-circuit) before the activation of the other input.
When the synchronization time monitoring is enabled, the outputs are allowed to
be activated if both input S21-S22 and input S31-S32 are activated within 2 or 4
seconds. The defined time depends on which input is activated first as explained

72 EIO0000003345.04
TM3 Safety Modules Configuration Expansion Modules

in the following figure. The outputs are not activated if the synchronization time is
expired.
This figure represents the synchronization time monitoring chronogram on a
TM3SAK6R• module in a 2-channel application:

Events description:
1. S21-S22 operated before S31-S32
2. S31-S32 operated before S21-S22
3. Outputs are not activated because the synchronization time has expired.

Synchronization Time Monitoring Control

The synchronization time monitoring is enabled or disabled by the logic controller
through a communication with the safety module on the TM3 Bus.
The synchronization time monitoring is an additional feature that contributes to the
safety-related system, but cannot itself provide for functional safety.

WARNING
INCORRECT USE OF THE INTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION TIME
CONDITION
Do not use the synchronization time monitoring to control safety-related
operations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

When enabled, the synchronization time is monitored internally by the module.

In a 2-channel application, S21-S22 and S31-S32 simultaneous activation is
monitored if SyncOn bit is set to 1.

General Principles: TM3 Safety Operation Modes

Power-On Condition
Description
When applying power to the safety module, the outputs are activated only if these
four conditions are fulfilled:
• The start condition, page 69 is valid.
• The safety-related conditions (safety-related inputs) indicate to activate the
safety-related outputs.
• The internal enable, page 74 condition is valid.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use automatic start if a start interlock is required in your application after
a power cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

Enable Condition
Description
The enable condition is a module internal control required to allow the internal
relay K2 to be closed. The internal relays can only be closed if the following
conditions are fulfilled:
• The start condition, page 69 is valid.
• The safety-related conditions (safety-related inputs) indicate to authorize
activation of the safety-related outputs.
• The internal enable condition is valid for K2.
The safety-related outputs are deactivated:
• if the enable condition is not valid, or
• if the safety-related conditions are no longer valid.

Enable Condition
The enable condition is set by the controller through a communication with the
safety module on the TM3 Bus.

WARNING
INCORRECT USE OF THE INTERNAL ENABLE CONDITION
Do not use the internal enable condition to control safety-related operations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

The enable condition is enabled by the system logic controller through a

communication on the TM3 Bus.
The enable condition is disabled by:
• The logic controller through a communication on the TM3 Bus.
• The module when:
◦ The synchronization time, page 72 is enabled and a time-out occurs.
◦ The TM3 Bus time-out occurs.
NOTE: The enable condition only affects to internal relay K2. Internal relay K1
may be active even when the enable condition is not valid.

TM3 Transmitter and Receiver I/O Modules

Configuration
Introduction
This chapter describes how to configure the TM3 transmitter and receiver I/O
modules, page 20.

Configuring the TM3 Transmitter and Receiver I/O

Modules
Introduction
The TM3XTRA1 transmitter module is equipped with:
• 1 RJ-45 connector
• 1 functional ground screw
• 2 status LEDs (link and power)
The TM3XREC1 receiver module is equipped with:
• 1 RJ-45 connector
• 2 status LEDs (link and power)
• Removable 24 Vdc power supply
The transmitter expansion module is connected to the logic controller through the
TM3 bus. The transmitter must be the last physical module directly connected to
the logic controller.
The receiver module is connected to the transmitter module using a specific cable
(VDIP1845460••).
Additional TM3 modules can then be connected to the receiver module through
the extended TM3 bus.
NOTE: You cannot use TM2 expansion modules in configurations that include
the TM3 transmitter/receiver modules.

Configuring the Modules

The TM3XTRA1 and TM3XREC1 expansion modules have no configurable
properties in EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic.

Behavior of the TM3 Transmitter and Receiver Modules

Overview
The following exceptional behaviors can occur with TM3 transmitter and receiver
modules:
• Transmitter/receiver cable disconnected or broken during operation
• Removing receiver module power during operation
• Receiver module disconnected during startup
• Receiver module powered on after the controller

80 EIO0000003345.04
TM3 Transmitter and Receiver I/O Modules Configuration Expansion Modules

The TM3 modules before the transmitter module are called "Local", and those
after the receiver module are called "Remote".
The I/O that may be embedded in your controller is independent of the I/O that you
may have added in the form of I/O expansion. It is important that the logical I/O
configuration within your program matches the physical I/O configuration of your
installation. If you add or remove any physical I/O to or from the I/O expansion bus
or, depending on the controller reference, to or from the controller (in the form of
cartridges), then you must update your application configuration. This is also true
for any field bus devices you may have in your installation. Otherwise, there is the
potential that the expansion bus or field bus no longer function while the
embedded I/O that may be present in your controller continues to operate.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete any type
of I/O expansions on your I/O bus, or you add or delete any devices on your
field bus.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

Transmitter/Receiver Cable Disconnected or Broken During

Operation
The logic controller continuously retries to access the modules attached to the
receiver module.
When the receiver module detects cable disconnection:
• The local modules continue operating.
• The remote modules are put into the Reset state.
• ERR LED is flashing, and bit 14 of TM3 status word (%SW118) is set to 0.
• Diagnostic information for the remote modules is available in the system word
%SW120.
• In the EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic configuration screen, the TM3
modules attached to the receiver module are red.
Reconnecting the cable does not restore normal operation. Only a logic controller
power cycle or reset restores normal operation after disconnecting and then
reconnecting the cable.

Removing Receiver Module Power During Operation

When the receiver module detects cable disconnection:
• The local modules continue operating.
• ERR LED is flashing, and bit 14 of TM3 status word (%SW118) is set to 0.
• Diagnostic information for the remote modules is available in the system word
%SW120.
• In the EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic configuration screen, the TM3
modules attached to the receiver module are red.
Restoring power results in the TM3 modules attached to the receiver module
assuming a Reset state (outputs are forced to 0). Only a logic controller power
cycle or reset restores normal operation.

EIO0000003345.04 81
Expansion Modules TM3 Transmitter and Receiver I/O Modules Configuration

Receiver Module Disconnected During Start-up

If the receiver module was not connected at logic controller start-up, nothing
happens because the TM3 bus is not started.

Receiver Module Powered on After the Controller

If two separate power supplies are used for the receiver module and the controller,
the power supply of the receiver module must be switched on before the controller
power supply. The TM3 bus does not start if the correct order of power application
is not respected, and all modules are in Reset state (outputs are forced to 0).
If the receiver module and the logic controller are supplied by the same power
supply, the whole configuration starts operating.
If only the receiver module is powered (logic controller not supplied), the TM3
modules after the receiver module are in Reset state (outputs are forced to 0).

Firmware Management Expansion Modules

Firmware Management
Downloading Firmware to TM3 Digital, Analog and Expert Expansion
Modules
The firmware can be updated in:
• TM3 analog expansion modules that have a firmware version greater than or
equal to 26 (SV ≥ 1.4).
• TM3 digital expansion modules and TM3XTYS4 expert expansion modules
that have a firmware version greater than or equal to 28 (SV ≥ 2.0).
If necessary, the version of firmware can be confirmed using EcoStruxure Machine
Expert - Basic.
Firmware updates are performed using a script file on an SD card. When the SD
card is inserted in the SD card slot of the M221 Logic Controller, the logic
controller updates the firmware of the TM3 expansion modules on the I/O bus,
including those that are:
• Connected remotely, using a TM3 Transmitter/Receiver module
• In configurations comprising a mix of TM3 and TM2 expansion modules.
This table describes how to download a firmware to one or more TM3 expansion
modules using an SD card:

Step Action

1 Apply power to the controller.

2 Ensure that the controller is in the EMPTY state by deleting the application in the controller. You can do this with
EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic by using one of the following script commands:

Delete “usr/*”

Delete “usr/app”

Refer to File Management Operations (see Modicon M221, Logic Controller, Programming Guide) for details.

3 Insert an empty SD card into the PC.

4 Create a file called script.cmd in the SD card root directory.

5 Edit the file and insert the following command:

Download "/TM3/<filename>/*"
NOTE: <filename> is the file name of the firmware you wish to update. The asterisk signifies that all modules will be
updated.
To download the firmware to one specific TM3 expansion module, replace the asterisk with the position of the expansion
module in the configuration. For example, to specify the module at position 4:

Download "/TM3/<filename>/4"

6 Create the folder path /TM3/ in the SD card root directory and copy the firmware file to the TM3 folder.
NOTE: A firmware file (the firmware file valid at the time of the installation of EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic)
and an example script are available in the folder Firmwares & PostConfiguration\TM3\ of the EcoStruxure Machine
Expert – Basic installation folder.

7 Remove the SD card from the PC and insert it into the SD card slot of the controller.

Result: The controller begins transferring the firmware file from the SD card to the updatable TM3 expansion modules or
to the one module specified in step 5. During this operation, the SD system LED on the controller is illuminated.
NOTE: The firmware update takes 10 to 15 seconds for each expansion module being updated. Do not remove power
from the controller, or remove the SD card, while the operation is in progress. Otherwise, the firmware update may be
unsuccessful and the modules may no longer function correctly. In this case, run the Recovery Procedure, page 84 to
reinitialize the firmware on the modules.
8 Wait until the end of the operation (until the SD LED is off or flashing).

If an error is detected, the SD and ERR LEDs flash and the detected error is logged in Script.log file.

If you remove power to the device, or there is a power outage or communication

interruption during the transfer of the application, your device may become
inoperative. If a communication interruption or a power outage occurs, reattempt
the transfer. If there is a power outage or communication interruption during a

EIO0000003345.04 83
Expansion Modules Firmware Management

firmware update, or if an invalid firmware is used, your device will become

inoperative. In this case, use a valid firmware and reattempt the firmware update.

NOTICE
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
• Do not interrupt the transfer of the application program or a firmware change
once the transfer has begun.
• Re-initiate the transfer if the transfer is interrupted for any reason.
• Do not attempt to place the device into service until the file transfer has
completed successfully.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

... TM3XTRA1/TM3XREC1 TM3 Transmitter/Receiver modules

3 TM3TI4G TM3 Analog module with firmware version 26

The TM3 analog expansion modules must have a minimum version of 26 in order
to receive a firmware update. In this example, a firmware update to version 27 can
only be performed on the modules in slot numbers 0 and 3.

Recovery Procedure
This table describes how to reinitialize the firmware on TM3 digital, analog and
TM3XTYS4 expansion modules:

Step Action

1 Ensure that the logic controller is in the EMPTY state by deleting the application in the logic controller. You can do this with
EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic by using one of the following script commands:

Delete “usr/*”

Delete “usr/app”

For details, refer to File Management Operations (see Modicon M221, Logic Controller, Programming Guide).

2 Disassemble from the logic controller the TM3 expansion modules that are functioning normally, except for the first module
to recover.
3 Apply power to the logic controller.

4 Insert the SD card containing the firmware update into the logic controller.

Result: The logic controller begins transferring the firmware file from the SD card to the module.

5 Wait until the SD LED is off or flashing).

If an error is detected, the SD and ERR LEDs flash and the detected error is logged in Script.log file.

6 Disassemble the recovered TM3 expansion module.

7 Assemble the next expansion module to recover.

8 Repeat steps 3 to 7 for the other expansion modules to recover.

Glossary
A
application:
A program including configuration data, symbols, and documentation.

C
configuration:
The arrangement and interconnection of hardware components within a system
and the hardware and software parameters that determine the operating
characteristics of the system.

controller:
Automates industrial processes (also known as programmable logic controller or
programmable controller).

D
digital I/O:
(digital input/output) An individual circuit connection at the electronic module that
corresponds directly to a data table bit. The data table bit holds the value of the
signal at the I/O circuit. It gives the control logic digital access to I/O values.

E
expansion bus:
An electronic communication bus between expansion I/O modules and a
controller or bus coupler.

F
function:
A programming unit that has 1 input and returns 1 immediate result. However,
unlike FBs, it is directly called with its name (as opposed to through an instance),
has no persistent state from one call to the next and can be used as an operand
in other programming expressions.
Examples: boolean (AND) operators, calculations, conversions (BYTE_TO_INT)

H
HE10:
Rectangular connector for electrical signals with frequencies below 3 MHz,
complying with IEC 60807-2.

I
I/O:
(input/output)

L
LED:
(light emitting diode) An indicator that illuminates under a low-level electrical
charge.

N
NEMA:
(national electrical manufacturers association) The standard for the performance
of various classes of electrical enclosures. The NEMA standards cover corrosion
resistance, ability to help protect from rain, submersion, and so on. For IEC
member countries, the IEC 60529 standard classifies the ingress protection rating
for enclosures.

T
terminal block:
(terminal block) The component that mounts in an electronic module and provides
electrical connections between the controller and the field devices.
