Overview
Schneider Electric Modicon TM3 Series - Flexible I/O Expansion Modules for Modicon Controllers:
The Modicon TM3 is a EcoStruxure Machine I/O system. The NEXT generation of EcoStruxure Machine™ from Schneider Electric is an intuitive solution for machine automation with all the features and functions you need to build machines that will improve your bottom line. From design and development, to commissioning and maintenance, EcoStruxure Machine is a complete machine building solution with benefits all through the machine life cycle. Boost the performance of your controller with the Modicon TM3 I/O system specially designed for the Modicon M221, M241 and M251 logic controllers. The specially developed Modicon TM3 I/O system enables flexible and customizable expansion of the I/O terminals in all of the controllers. Up to 14 terminals can be added to the controllers without tools. When the terminals are plugged in, their contacts are electrically linked to both the controller and the adjacent terminal. This high-speed expansion bus is 10 times faster than traditional solutions.
Modicon TM3 expansion modules have been designed with a simple interlocking assembly mechanism. A bus expansion connector is used to distribute data and the power supply when assembling the Modicon TM3 expansion modules with logic controllers. In addition, the Modicon TM3 expansion system is flexible due to the possibility of remotely locating some of the Modicon TM3 modules in the enclosure or another cabinet, up to 5 meters (16.404 ft) away, using a bus expansion system. The Modicon TM3 expansion system is common to the whole range of Modicon M221, M241 and M251 logic controllers, meaning that applications can be upgraded without changing expansion module.
Features:
A wide choice of connections is available depending on the model of Modicon TM3 module:
- Removable screw terminal blocks (1)
- Removable spring terminal blocks (1)
- HE 10 connector, to be used with HE 10 cables/bare wires or HE 10/HE 10 and
- Telefast sub-bases (2)
- The connectors (screw terminal blocks, spring terminal blocks, HE 10 connector, RJ 45) are located on the front of the TM3 expansion modules and are therefore accessible.
Modicon M251 logic controllers have no embedded I/O, yet can still take Modicon TM3 expansion modules for connecting sensors and actuators locally:
- Digital I/O modules for creating configurations with up to 488 digital I/O
- Analog I/O modules for creating configurations with up to 114 analog I/O, to receive the signals from, for example, position, temperature, and speed sensors and also capable of controlling variable speed drives or any other device with a current or voltage input
- Expert modules for controlling TeSys motor-starters, connected with RJ 45 cordsets to simplify wiring the control section
- Functional safety modules which simplify wiring and can be configured in the SoMachine software
Compatibility of offers of the Modicon TM3 expansion modules:
Compatibility of expansion module offers: the majority of Modicon TM2 expansion modules can be used with M251 logic controllers. Nonetheless, inserting a Modicon TM2 expansion module in a configuration can increase the expansion module execution times by as much as a few milliseconds. The compatibility of Modicon TM2 expansion modules with M251 logic controllers is described in detail on www.schneider-electric.com.
