Objects
Overview
In SoMachine Basic, the term object is used to represent an area of logic controller memory
reserved for use by an application. Objects can be:
 Simple software variables, such as memory bits and words
 Addresses of digital or analog inputs and outputs
 Controller-internal variables, such as system words and system bits
 Predefined system functions or function blocks, such as timers and counters.
Controller memory is either pre-allocated for certain object types, or automatically allocated when
an application is downloaded to the logic controller.
Objects can only be addressed by a program once memory has been allocated. Objects are
addressed using the prefix %. For example, %MW12 is the address of a memory word, %Q0.3 is the
address of an embedded digital output, and %TM0 is the address of a Timer function block.

Tasks and Scan Modes
Overview
The Modicon TM221M Logic Controller supports the following task types:
 Master task
 Periodic task
 Event task
The master tasks can be configured in either of the following scan modes:
 Freewheeling mode
 Periodic mode
For more information, refer to the Configuring Program Behavior and Tasks (see SoMachine
Basic, Operating Guide).
Tasks
Master tasks are triggered by continuous cyclic scanning or by the software times by specifying the
scan period 2...150 ms (default 100 ms) in the periodic mode.
Periodic tasks are triggered by software timers, so are configured by specifying the scan period
5...255 ms (default 255 ms) in the periodic mode.
Event tasks are triggered by the physical inputs or the HSC function blocks. These events are
associated with embedded digital inputs (%I0.2...%I0.5) (rising, falling or both edges) or with the
high speed counters (when the count reaches the high speed counter threshold). You can
configure up to two events for each HSC function block, depending on the configuration.
You must configure one priority for each event task. The priority range is 0...7 and the priority 0 has
the highest priority.
Scan Modes
The freewheeling mode is a continuous cyclic scanning mode. In this mode, a new scan starts
immediately after the previous scan has completed.
This figure shows the relationship between master tasks and periodic tasks when the master task
is in freewheeling mode:
38 EIO0000001360 11/2014
In periodic mode, the logic controller waits until the configured scan time has elapsed before
starting a new scan. Every scan is therefore the same duration.
This figure shows the relationship between master tasks and periodic tasks when the master task
is in periodic mode:
Event priorities control the relationship between the event tasks, master tasks, and periodic tasks.
The event task interrupts the master task and periodic task execution.
This figure shows the relationship between event tasks, master tasks, and periodic tasks in the
periodic mode:
The event tasks are triggered by a hardware interruption that sends a task event to the event task.
Watchdog Timer
You can configure a specific watchdog timer for the master task and periodic tasks. If the task
execution time exceeds the configured watchdog timer period, the logic controller goes to the
HALTED state. This watchdog timer is managed by the software timers.
A system watchdog timer checks if the user logic is loading more than 80% of the CPU processing
capacity.

Controller States Description
Introduction
This section provides a detailed description of the controller states.
WARNING
 Never assume that your controller is in a certain controller state before commanding a change
of state, configuring your controller options, uploading a program, or modifying the physical
configuration of the controller and its connected equipment.
 Before performing any of these operations, consider the effect on all connected equipment.
 Before acting on a controller, always positively confirm the controller state by viewing its LEDs,
confirming the condition of the Run/Stop input, checking for the presence of output forcing, and
reviewing the controller status information via SoMachine Basic.
damage.
When using Automatic Start in Run, the controller will start executing program logic when power is
applied to the equipment. It is essential to know in advance how automatic reactivation of the
outputs will affect the process or machine being controlled. Configure the Run/Stop input to help
control the Automatic Start in Run feature. In addition, the Run/Stop input is designed to give local
control over remote RUN commands. If the possibility of a remote RUN command after the
controller had been stopped locally by SoMachine would have unintended consequences, you
must configure and wire the Run/Stop input to help control this situation.
WARNING
UNINTENDED MACHINE START-UP
 Confirm that the automatic reactivation of the outputs does not produce unintended
consequences before using the Automatic Start in Run setting.
 Use the Run/Stop input to help avoid an unwanted restart in Run mode and to help prevent
the unintentional start-up from a remote location.
 Verify the state of security of your machine or process environment before applying power to
the Run/Stop input or before issuing a Run command from a remote location.

Controller State Transitions
Boot Controller
Effect: Command a reboot of the controller, for details about power-on sequence see the controller
state diagram (see page 42).
Methods:
 Power cycle
 Reboot by script
 The script on an SD card can issue a REBOOT as its final command.
Application Download
Effect: Download the application into the controller memory.
Methods:
 SoMachine Basic online button:
 Select the PC to controller (download) command.
Effect: Erase the current application and set the controller in EMPTY state. If download is
successful, a Cold Start is done and the controller is set in STOPPED state.
 Application file transfer by SD card:
 Effect: At the next reboot, erase the current application and copies the application files from
the SD card to the controller memory. If download is successful, a Cold Start is done and the
controller is set in STOPPED state.
Initialize Controller
Effect: Sets the controller in EMPTY state, and then after a Cold Start in STOPPED state.
Methods:
 Select the Initialize controller command.
 Remote Graphic Display.
RUN Controller
Effect: Command a transition to the RUNNING controller state.
Methods:
 Run/Stop switch on front face:
 It commands a transition to RUNNING state on rising edge.
 Run/Stop input:
 The input must be configured in the application (Configuring Digital Inputs (see page 70)).
 It commands a transition to RUNNING state on rising edge.
EIO0000001360 11/2014 47

 Select the Run Controller command.
 Application starting mode setting:

 Start in Run or Start in Previous State.
STOP Controller
Effect: Command a transition to the STOPPED controller state.
Methods:
 Run/Stop switch on front face:
 It forces a transition to STOPPED state on low level.
 Run/Stop input:
 The input must be configured in the application (Configuring Digital Inputs (see page 70)).
 It forces a transition to STOPPED state on low level.

 Select the Stop Controller command.
 Application starting mode setting:

 Start in Stop or Start in Previous State.
 Download command:
 It needs the controller to be set in STOPPED state (after the download the controller is in
STOPPED state).
Error Detected (Transition to HALTED State)

Effect: Command a transition to the HALTED controller state.
Reasons for switching to HALTED state:
 Watchdog (Application Behavior)
 System overrun, over 80% of the CPU processing capacity (Watchdog Timer (see page 39))
 If download is successful, a Cold Start is done and the controller is set in STOPPED state.
Cold Start
Cold Start is defined to be a power-up with all data initialized to its default values, and User Logic
started from the beginning of the program with all program variables cleared. In a Cold Start
everything is initialized: software and hardware settings.
Cold Start occurs for the following reasons:
 Boot controller without validated application online modification.
 PLC without a charged backup battery always powers up via a Cold Start.
 Application Download
 Initialize controller
48 EIO0000001360 11/2014
Effects of the Cold Start:

 Initialize all the function blocks.
 Clear all the user memory.
 Put the objects %S and %SW in the initial values.
 Reload parameters from post configuration (it means that the changes in the post configuration
will be effective)
 Restore user application from flash (it means that unsaved online changes are lost).
 Restart all the internal components of the controller.
Warm Start
The Warm Start simply resume running the USER logic program, in its last operating state, with all
counters, function blocks, and system words and bits preserved.
EIO0000001360 11/2014 49
Persistent Variables
Automatic Saved on Power Outage

The controller automatically saves the first 50 Memory Words (%MW0 to %MW49) in the internal data
flash following a power outage. The date is restored to the memory word region during the
initialization, even if the controller performs a cold start due to a battery malfunction.
These automatically saved persistent variables are reinitialized in case of a new download, INIT
command or %S0 activation (refer to System Bits (see page 148)).
Saved by User Request

You can save up to 1000 memory words (%MW50 up to %MW1049) in the flash memory. The number
of words saved or restored is specified in the system word %SW148 (refer to System Words
(see page 155)).
To perform the SAVE operation, set system bit %S93 to 1 (refer to System Bits (see page 148)).
The flash region is erased at the end of the MAST cycle. The operation exclusively occupies the
controller for approximately 40 ms.
The writing of memory words to flash memory is performed in stages between MAST cycles. The
system bit%S92 (refer to System Bits (see page 148)) is set to 1 to signal the end of operation.
The restore is performed by setting %S94 to 1 (refer to System Bits (see page 148)). The restore
operation is performed completely at the end of the MAST cycle.

Output Behavior
Introduction
The controller defines output behavior in response to commands and system events in a way that
allows for greater flexibility. An understanding of this behavior is necessary before discussing the
commands and events that affect controller states.
The possible output behaviors and the controller states to which they apply are:
 Managed by application program
 Initialization values
 Fallback Mode
 Maintain values
 Fallback values
 Output forcing
Managed by Application Program

Your application program manages outputs normally. This applies in the RUNNING state.
Initialization Values
This output state applies in the BOOTING, EMPTY and POWERLESS states.
In the initialization state, the outputs assume the following values:
 For embedded outputs:
 Fast transistor output: 0 Vdc
 Regular transistor output: 0 Vdc
 Relay output: Open
 Expert I/O functions (HSC, PLS, PWM and PTO): 0 Vdc
 For expansion module outputs:

 Regular transistor output: 0 Vdc
 Relay output: Open
Fallback Values
This output state applies in the STOPPED and HALTED states.
In the fallback mode, the outputs assume the following values:
 For embedded outputs:
 Fast transistor output: according to fallback setting
 Regular transistor output: according to fallback setting
 Relay output: according to fallback setting
 Expert I/O functions (HSC, PLS, PWM and PTO):
- Fallback value: according to fallback setting
- Maintain values: 0 Vdc
EIO0000001360 11/2014 51
 For expansion module outputs:

 Regular transistor output: according to fallback setting
 Relay output: according to fallback setting
Output Forcing
The controller allows you to force the state of selected outputs to a defined value for the purposes
of system testing, commissioning, and maintenance.
You are only able to force the value of an output while your controller is connected to SoMachine
Basic.
To do so, use the Force command in an animation table.
Output forcing overrides all other commands to an output irrespective of the task programming that
is being executed.
The forcing is not released by online change or logout of SoMachine Basic.
The forcing is automatically released by Cold Start (see page 48) and Download application
(see page 47) command.
The forcing does not apply for expert I/O functions (HSC, PLS, PWM and PTO).
WARNING
 You must have a thorough understanding of how forcing will affect the outputs relative to the
tasks being executed.
 Do not attempt to force I/O that is contained in tasks that you are not certain will be executed
in a timely manner, unless your intent is for the forcing to take affect at the next execution of
the task whenever that may be.
 If you force an output and there is no apparent affect on the physical output, do not exit
SoMachine Basic without removing the forcing.
damage.
52 EIO0000001360 11/2014
Output Rearming
In the case of a short-circuit or current overload, the common group of outputs automatically enters
into thermal protection mode (all outputs in the group are set to 0), and are then periodically
rearmed (each second) to test the connection state. However, you must be aware of the effect of
this rearming on the machine or process being controlled.
WARNING
UNINTENDED MACHINE START-UP
Inhibit the automatic rearming of outputs if this feature is an undesirable behavior for your
machine or process.
damage.
If necessary, you can use system bits and words to both detect that a short circuit or overload has
occurred and on which cluster of outputs it has occurred. System bit %S10 can be used to detect
within your program that an output error has occurred. You can then use the system word %SW139
to determine programmatically which cluster of outputs a short circuit or overload has occurred.
The automatic rearming feature can be disabled by setting the system bit %S49 to 0 (%S49 is set
to 0 by default).

Post Configuration
Introduction
Post configuration is an option that allows you to modify some parameters of the application
without changing the application. Post configuration parameters are defined in a file called
Machine.cfg, which is stored in the controller.
By default, all communication parameters are set in the configuration of the application. However,
under certain conditions, some or all of these parameters can be modified automatically via the
mechanism Post Configuration. One or more communication parameters can be specified in the
post configuration file, and those parameters can override the parameters specified by the
configuration. For example, one parameter may be stored in the post configuration file to change
the Ethernet IP address of the controller while leaving the other Ethernet parameters, such as the
gateway address, unchanged.
Parameters
The post configuration file allows you to modify network parameters.
Ethernet parameters:
 Address configuration mode
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Gateway address
 Device name
Serial line parameters, for each serial line in the application (embedded port or TMC2SL1
cartridge):
 Physical medium
 Baud rate
 Parity
 Data bits
 Stop bit
 Modbus address
 Polarization (for RS-485)
Operating Mode
The post configuration file is read and applied:
 after a Warm Start (see page 49)
 after a Cold Start (see page 48)
 after a reboot (see page 47)
 after an application download (see page 47)
For further details on controller states and transitions, refer to Controller States and Behaviors
(see page 41).
EIO0000001360 11/2014 55
Post Configuration File Management
Introduction
The file Machine.cfg must be stored in the directory /usr/cfg of the controller.
The post configuration file can be transferred, modified, or deleted with an SD card.
The Ethernet parameters of the post configuration file can also be modified with SoMachine Basic
during the connection with a logic controller.
NOTE: A post configuration file example is available in the directory
Firmwares & PostConfiguration\PostConfiguration\add_change\usr\cfg of the
SoMachine Basic installation directory.
Post Configuration File Format

A valid configuration must use the following format:
 The character ’#’ means beginning of comment, everything after this sign until the end of the
line is ignored. Comments are not saved in the post configuration area of the M221 Logic
Controller.
 Rule is channel.parameter=value (no space around the ’=’ sign).
 Channel and parameter are case-sensitive.
 Allowed channel, parameter, and values are in the following table.
Channel Parameter Description Value

ETH IPMODE Address configuration mode 0 = Fixed
1 = BOOTP
2 = DHCP
IP IP address Dotted decimal string
MASK Subnet mask Dotted decimal string
GATEWAY Gateway address Dotted decimal string
NETWORKNAME Device name on the network ASCII string (maximum 16 characters)
SL1 HW Physical medium 0 = RS-232

BAUDS Data transmission rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600 or 115200
PARITY Parity for error detection 0 = None
1 = Even
2 = Odd
DATAFORMAT Data format 7 or 8
STOPBIT Stop bit 1 or 2
MODBUSADDR Modbus address 1...247
POLARIZATION Polarization (for cartridges 0 = No
only) 1 = Yes
56 EIO0000001360 11/2014
Post Configuration File Transfer

After creating and modifying your post configuration file, it must be transferred to the logic
controller. The transfer is performed by copying the post configuration file to an SD card with a
script.
Refer to Adding or Changing a Post Configuration (see page 129).
Modifying a Post Configuration File

Use a text editor to modify the post configuration file on the PC.
NOTE: Do not change the text file encoding. The default encoding is ANSI.
NOTE: The Ethernet parameters of the post configuration file can be modified with SoMachine
Basic. For more information, refer to Connecting to a Logic Controller.
Deleting the Post Configuration File

Refer to Removing a Post Configuration File (see page 130).
NOTE: The parameters defined in the application will be used instead of the corresponding
parameters defined in the post configuration file.

Building a Configuration
Introduction
Configure a controller by building a configuration in SoMachine Basic. To build a configuration, first
create a new project or open an existing project.
Refer to SoMachine Basic Operating Guide for information on how to:
 create or open an existing project
 replace the default logic controller
 add an expansion module to the logic controller
 add a cartridge to the logic controller
 save the project.
Some general information about the SoMachine Basic user interface is provided below.
Start Page
The start page window is always displayed when you launch SoMachine Basic. Use this window
to register the SoMachine Basic software, manage the connection to the logic controller, and
create or select a project to work with.
SoMachine Basic Window

Once you have selected a project to work with, SoMachine Basic displays the main window.
At the top of the main window, a toolbar contains icons that allow you to perform common tasks,
including returning to the start page window.
Next to the toolbar, the status bar displays informational messages about the current state of the
connection to the logic controller.
Below the toolbar and the status bar, the main window is divided into a number of modules. Each
module controls a different stage of the development cycle, and is accessible by clicking the
module tab.
This figure shows the toolbar, status bar, and the module tabs in the main window:
1 Toolbar
2 Status bar
3 Module tabs
62 EIO0000001360 11/2014
Item Description
Toolbar Provides easy access to commonly used functions.
For more information, refer to the Toolbar .
Status bar Displays status and information messages on the current system status.
For more information, refer to the Status bar.
Module tabs To develop an application, work your way through the module tabs from left to right:
 Properties
Set up the project properties.
 Configuration
Replicate and configure the hardware configuration of the logic controller and
associated expansion modules.
 Programming
Develop the program in one of the supported programming languages.
 Commissioning
Manage the connection between SoMachine Basic and the logic controller,
upload/download applications, test, and commission the application.
Hardware Tree
The hardware tree is displayed on left-hand side in the Configuration window. It shows a
structured view of the current hardware configuration. When you add a controller, an expansion
module, or a cartridge to the project, several nodes are automatically added to the hardware tree.
NOTE: The nodes in the hardware tree are specific to the controller and the hardware
configuration. These nodes depend on the I/O functions that the controller, expansion modules,
and cartridges provide.
This figure shows the hardware tree of the controller configuration:
Item Description
Digital inputs Use to configure the embedded digital inputs of the logic controller.
Digital outputs Use to configure the embedded digital outputs of the logic controller.

Modbus TCP Use to configure the Modbus TCP for the Ethernet communications.
SLn (Serial line) Use to configure the embedded serial line or the serial line added using a cartridge.
n Serial line number (1 or 2, controller-specific).
Editor
The editor area is displayed in center of the Configuration window. It displays the graphical
representation of hardware configuration of the devices. The hardware configuration in a project
can be:
 only a controller
 a controller with cartridge
 a controller with expansion modules
 a controller with cartridge and expansion modules.
The editor area displays:

 a short description about the device when you click the device image or when you click the
device node in the hardware tree.
 configuration properties of the item selected in the hardware tree.
If you add an expansion module to the configuration, the expansion module appears at the right-
hand side of the controller or the previously added expansion module. Cartridges are added on the
controller in the cartridge slot.
When configuring a controller, a cartridge, or an expansion module, the configuration properties of
the node currently selected in the hardware tree are displayed below the graphical configuration.
These properties allow you to configure the device.

For detailed information on the digital input configuration parameters, refer to the table below.
70 EIO0000001360 11/2014
This table describes each parameter of the digital input configuration:
Parameter Editable Value Default Description

Value
Used No True/ False False Indicates whether the input channel is being used in a program or
not.
Address No %I0.x – Displays the address of the digital input on the controller, where x
represents the channel number.
If the controller has 8 digital input channels, x varies from 0...7.
If the controller has 16 digital input channels, x varies from 0...15.
For example, %I0.2 is the third digital input channel of the logic
controller.
Symbol Yes – – Allows you to specify a symbol to associate with the digital input
object.
Double-click in the Symbol column, type the name of the symbol
and press Enter.
Used by No any Filtering Displays the name of the component that uses the input channel.
For example, if the input channel is used by a subroutine, this field
displays User logic. The possible values in this field are:
 User logic
 Filtering
 Latch
 Run/Stop
 Event
 %HSCx
where x is the high speed counter instance on the controller
 %FCy
where y is the fast counter instance on the controller
If an input is being used by more than one operation, all values,
separated by commas, are displayed in this field.
Filtering Yes No Filter 3 ms Allows you to select the noise filter duration for the input channel.
3 ms Using a filter for the digital inputs reduces the noise on the
12 ms controller input.
If you select filter for an input, you cannot configure that input for:
 Latch
 Event
EIO0000001360 11/2014 71

Value
Latch Yes True/ False False Allows you to enable or disable latching for the inputs configured
as events (%I0.2...%I0.5).
By default, this option is disabled due to default value of Filtering.
Set the Filtering to No Filter to enable the Latch option.
Latching enables pulses with a duration shorter than the controller
scan time to be memorized.
When a pulse duration is shorter than a scan time and has a value
greater than or equal to 1 ms, the controller latches the pulse,
which is then updated in the next scan.
If you enable Latch for an input, you cannot configure that input
for:
 Filtering
 Run/Stop
 Event
Run/Stop Yes True/ False False Allows you to configure 1 digital input as an additional Run/Stop
switch.
If you configure a digital input as Run/Stop switch, you cannot use
the input in any other function block (for example, high speed
counter function block, fast counter function block, and so on).
If you enable Run/Stop for an input, you cannot configure that
input for:
 Latch
 Event
Event Yes Not Used Not Allows you to select an event that triggers the inputs
Falling Edge Used %I0.2...%I0.5.
Rising Edge By default, this option is disabled due to default value of Filtering.
Both edges Set the Filtering to No Filter to enable the Event option.
If you select an event from the drop-down list (other than Not
Used), the Priority parameter enables for editing to set the priority
of the event.
Priority Yes 0...7 7 Allows you to set the priority of the triggering event for the inputs
%I0.2...%I0.5.
You can set the priority of each event using the Priority parameter
that is editable only for the inputs configured as event.
Assign each configured event a different priority: if 2 events have
same priority, a detected error message appears in the window.
Subroutine No any empty Displays the number of the subroutine associated with an input
configured as an event.
Comment Yes – – Allows you to specify a comment to associate with the digital input
object.
Double-click in the Comment column, type the comment and
press Enter.
Additional configuration details are displayed in the Programming tab. For more information, refer
to Digital Inputs (%I) (see page 140).

This table describes each parameter of the digital output configuration:

Value
Used No True/False False Indicates whether the output channel is being used in
a program or not.
Address No %Q0.x – Displays the address of the digital output on the
controller, where x represents the channel number.
If the controller has 8 digital output channels, x varies
from 0...7.
If the controller has 16 digital output channels, x
varies from 0...15.
For example, %Q0.2 is the third digital output
channel on the controller.
Symbol Yes – – Allows you to specify a symbol to associate with the
digital output object.
Double-click in the Symbol column, type the name of
the symbol and press Enter.
Used by No any empty Displays the name of the component that uses the
output channel.
For example, if the output channel is used as status
alarm, it displays Alarm.
Status Alarm Yes True/False False Allows you to enable or disable the status alarm for
the output (%Q0.0...%Q0.7).
You can configure only one output channel for the
status alarm.
You cannot configure an output as status alarm if the
output is used in a program.
The value of the status alarm is 1 when the controller
is in the state RUNNING, and 0 in all other state
Fallback value Yes 1 or 0 0 Specify the value to apply to this output (fallback to 0
or fallback to 1) when the logic controller enters the
STOPPED or an exception state. The default value is
0. If Maintain values fallback mode is configured,
the output retains its current value when the logic
controller enters the STOPPED or an exception state.

Configuring High Speed Counters
Introduction
You can configure high speed counters to perform any one of the following functions:
 Dual Phase [A=Pulse, B=Direction] (or Up/down counter)
 Dual Phase [Quadrature X2] (or Bi-phase counter)
 Single Counter
 Frequency Meter
The high speed counter supports counting of digital inputs up to frequencies of 60 kHz in single
word or double word computational mode.
The High Speed Counter function blocks use dedicated inputs and auxiliary inputs and outputs.
These inputs and outputs are not reserved for the exclusive use of High Speed Counter function
blocks:
 If the dedicated input/output is not used by an HSC instance, it is available for the application
as a regular digital input/output.
 If the application does not use a HSC dedicated input/output as a regular digital input/output, it
is available for the corresponding HSC instance.

I/O Configuration General Practices
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 crucial 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), it is imperative that you update your application configuration. This is
also true for any field bus devices you may have in your installation. Otherwise, there is the
possibility that the I/O expansions will no longer function while the embedded I/O that may be
present in your controller will continue to operate.
WARNING
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete any type of I/O expansions,
or you add or delete any devices on your field bus.

(2) Remote configuration
M221 Logic Controller Local Configuration Architecture

Optimized local configuration and flexibility are provided by the association of:
 M221 Logic Controller
 TM3 expansion modules
Application requirements determine the architecture of your M221 Logic Controller configuration.
The following figure represents the components of a local configuration:

NOTE: The configuration with its TM3 and TM2 expansion modules is validated by SoMachine
Basic software in the Configuration window.
NOTE: In some environments, the maximum configuration populated by high consummation
modules, coupled with the maximum distance allowable between the TM3 transmitter and receiver
modules, may present bus communication issues although the SoMachine Basic software allows
for the configuration. In such a case you will need to analyze the consummation of the modules
chosen for your configuration, as well as the minimum cable distance required by your application,
and possibly seek to optimize your choices.
Current Supplied to the I/O Bus

The following table shows the maximum current supplied by the controllers to the I/O Bus:

Configuring Ethernet Network
Introduction
You can configure the TCP/IP connection to the logic controller by configuring the Ethernet
network. The Ethernet establishes a local area network (LAN) between the logic controller and the
other devices. The Ethernet configuration provides you the ability to configure the IP address of
the network device.
NOTE: The controller-PC link uses the TCP/IP protocol. It is required for this protocol to be
installed on the PC.
You can obtain the Ethernet IP address by the following protocols:
 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
 Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)
You can also specify the Ethernet IP address by specifying the following addresses:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Gateway address
This table describes how to configure the Ethernet:
Step Action
1 Click the ETH1 node in the hardware tree to display the Ethernet properties.
This figure shows the Ethernet properties in the editor area:
2 Edit the properties to configure the Ethernet.

Introduction
The Modicon M221 Logic Controller allows the following types of file management with an SD card:
 Clone management (see page 124): back up or restore a complete controller (using an empty
SD card)
 Firmware management (see page 126): put and get firmware on a controller
 User application management (see page 127): put and get the user application on a controller
 Post configuration management (see page 129) put, change, or remove post configuration
information on a controller
 Error log management (see page 131): get or delete an error log file from a controller
NOTE:
 Logic controller logic solving and services execution continues during file transfers.
 The Modicon M221 Logic Controller accepts only SD cards formatted in FAT or FAT32.
 SD card operations are performed regardless of any user access-rights that may be enabled in
the target logic controller.
With the use of the SD card, powerful operations can be automatically conducted affecting the
behavior of your logic controller and resident application. Care must be taken when inserting an
SD card into the controller; you must be aware of the affect that the contents of the SD card will
have on your logic controller.
WARNING
 You must have operational knowledge of your machine or process before connecting an SD
card to your logic controller.
 Ensure that guards are in place so that any potential affect of the contents of the SD card will
not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

SD Card
Clone Management
Cloning
Cloning allows you to automatically back up the application, firmware, and post configuration (if it
exists) of the Modicon M221 Logic Controller to the SD card.
The SD card can then be used to later restore the firmware, application, and post configuration (if
it exists) to the logic controller, or copy them to another logic controller with the same reference.
Before cloning a controller, the M221 Logic Controller checks if the application is not copy-
protected (Password Protecting an Application).
NOTE:
 The SD card must be empty and correctly formatted to perform this procedure.
 The detected error log and data memory are not cloned.
 If the application is password-protected, the clone operation is blocked (the SD led is blinking).
Creating a Clone SD Card

This procedure describes how to copy the application, firmware, and post configuration (if it exists)
from the controller to an SD card:
Step Action
1 Format an SD card on the PC.
2 Insert the SD card in the controller.
Result: The clone operation starts automatically. During the clone operation, the following LEDs
are ON: PWR, and SD.
3 Wait until the clone operation is completed (the SD LED turns OFF).
NOTE: The clone operation lasts 2 or 3 minutes. The clone operation has a low priority in order to
minimize impact on the user logic and communication performance of the logic controller.
Depending on the amount of free time in your program, the operation may take considerably longer
to complete if the logic controller is in RUN or STOP mode than if it is in BOOTING mode.
4 Remove the SD card from the controller.
Restoring or Copying from a Clone SD Card

This procedure describes how to download the application, firmware, and post configuration (if it
exists) stored in the SD card to your controller:

Analog Inputs (%IW)
Introduction
Analog input word objects are the digital values of an analog signal connected to the logic
controller.
Two 0-10V analog inputs are embedded in the logic controller. The embedded analog inputs use
a 10 bits resolution converter so that each increment is approximately 10 mV (10V/210-1). Once
the system detects the value 1023, the channel is considered to be saturated.
Refer to M221 Hardware Guide and TMC2 Cartridges Hardware Guide used in the configuration

Converts numerical values within the logic controller and sends out proportional voltage or current
levels.
application
A program including configuration data, symbols, and documentation.
B
BOOTP
(bootstrap protocol) A UDP network protocol that can be used by a network client to automatically
obtain an IP address (and possibly other data) from a server. The client identifies itself to the server
using the client MAC address. The server, which maintains a pre-configured table of client device
MAC addresses and associated IP addresses, sends the client its pre-configured IP address.
BOOTP was originally used as a method that enabled diskless hosts to be remotely booted over a
network. The BOOTP process assigns an infinite lease of an IP address. The BOOTP service
utilizes UDP ports 67 and 68.

LSB
(least significant bit/byte) The part of a number, address, or field that is written as the right-most
single value in conventional hexadecimal or binary notation.
M
MAST
A processor task that is run through its programming software. The MAST task has 2 sections:
 IN: Inputs are copied to the IN section before execution of the MAST task.
 OUT: Outputs are copied to the OUT section after execution of the MAST task.
Modbus
The protocol that allows communications between many devices connected to the same network.
MSB
(most significant bit/byte The part of a number, address, or field that is written as the left-most
single value in conventional hexadecimal or binary notation.
P
periodic execution
The task is executed either cyclically or periodically. In periodic mode, you determine a specific
time (period) in which the task is executed. If it is executed under this time, a waiting time is
generated before the next cycle. If it is executed over this time, a control system indicates the
overrun. If the overrun is too high, the controller is stopped.
PID
(proportional, integral, derivative) A generic control loop feedback mechanism (controller) widely
used in industrial control systems.
