7.15 TM41 terminal module

7.15 TM41 terminal module
7.15.1

Overview

The TM41 terminal module can be used to expand the number of digital I/O and of analog
inputs within a drive system. TM41 also returns TTL signals which emulate an incremental
encoder, for example, for a master control system.
The emulated encoder signal has the signal characteristic of an incremental TTL encoder (A
track, B track, R track). The resolution of the encoder signal can be specified in the
configuration.
Note
The digital inputs/outputs and the analog input can be interconnected via BICO configuration.
The TM41 encoder interface (incremental encoder representation) can
● Be interconnected with an encoder signal of the control unit by means of parameterization,
e.g. sin/cos incremental encoders. For detailed information, see the SINAMICS manuals.
● From the SIMOTION viewpoint, be accessed as axis. This allows you to return the axis
position (a master value) as an encoder signal to a second controller, for example. The
configuration can be performed symbolically and is described in the following.
Note
TM41 only supports the symbolic assignment for the encoder interface (no symbolic
assignment for the DI, DO and AI).
Configuring the TM41 involves the following steps:
● Configuring the TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated
● Configuring the TM41 using the axis wizard

Configuring TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated

The TM41 can be configured after you completed configuration of the SINAMICS Integrated.
Proceed as follows:
1. Double-click "Insert input/output component" at "Input/output component" in the project
navigator.
2. Select TM41 from the "Drive object type" field of the "Insert Input/Output Component" dialog
box and assign a unique name to the module.
3. Confirm your entry with "OK".
The TM41 is inserted in the project navigator by the name you entered.
4. Double-click "Inputs/outputs". The "Inputs/Outputs" property dialog box of TM41 opens.
5. Set "SIMOTION" as the operating mode on the "Pulse encoder emulation" tab, and make
the settings for the emulated sensor signal.
