Compact I/O Description

Introduction

The TM5 Compact I/O are I/O expansion modules for your TM5 system. The compact I/O module is a group of TM5 electronic I/O modules under a single reference. The individual electronic modules are identified by an abbreviated designation on their front face, while the reference of the entire group can be found on the side of the compact I/O module. The abbreviated designation on the individual module faces corresponds to the last characters of the individual module references.The terminals blocks are assembled on the compact I/O when delivered.

The compact I/O uses a single address on the TM5 Bus.

The electronic modules included in the compact I/O are not individually replaceable.

NOTE: Unlike the individual TM5 digital and analog I/O electronic modules, the compact I/O do not have hot-swap capability. Do not attempt to hot swap these modules.

WARNING
	UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Do not attempt to hot swap TM5 Compact I/O. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The following figure shows a TM5 Compact I/O as the second component of a remote island:

The range of compact I/O includes:

digital input electronic modules
digital output electronic modules
analog input electronic modules
analog output electronic modules

Every electronic module channel has a status LED.

Mechanical and hardware features are described in the Modicon TM5 Compact I/O Modules Hardware Guide.

The following table describes the compact I/O reference available for your TM5 System:

Compact I/O Physical Description

The individual electronic modules included in a compact I/O are not replaceable and the terminals blocks are delivered assembled on the compact I/O.

1 Integrated bus base and electronic modules of the compact I/O (inseparable)

2 Terminal blocks

NOTICE
	ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE Never touch the contacts of the electronic module. Always keep the connector in place during normal operation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

The following figure shows the physical description of the bus base and electronic modules of the compact I/O:

1 Locking levers

2 Interlocking guides

3 Slot for labeling

4 TM5 bus power contacts

5 Display (LEDs)

6 TM5 bus data contacts

7 DIN rail locking mechanism

8 DIN rail contact

9 24 Vdc I/O power contacts

10 Slot to code the electronic module with the associated terminal block

11 Rotation axle for terminal block

NOTE: The terminal blocks associated to the compact I/O are 12-pin white terminal blocks.
