1 RS 232/RS 485 serial links offer a simple solution to the communication needs of
compact machines.
Modbus and ASCII standard communication protocols are used to connect
numerous equipment items such as: HMIs, printers, energy meters, variable speed
drives, motor starters, remote I/O (RIO), etc. Thanks to the I/O Scanner function, this
equipment is just as easy to integrate into the application as the local I/O.

Description
2 bb M odicon M221 Book logic controllers with 16, 24 or 40 I/O have the following on
the front panel:
2
1  A serial link port with an RJ 45 connector delivering a voltage of 5 V (200 mA) to
supply an HMI or Bluetooth® adapter with power.
2  A slot for a 2nd serial link port (with connection on screw terminals) by inserting the
1 TMC2SL1 communication cartridge or the TMC2CONV01 application cartridge
3 (1).

bb M odicon M221 Book logic controllers with 16 or 32 I/O have the following on the
TM221Cpppp
front panel:
3  A serial link port with an RJ 45 connector delivering a voltage of 5 V (200 mA) to
supply an HMI or Bluetooth® adapter with power

4 4  A 2nd serial port also equipped with an RJ 45 connector for TM221M16pp and
TM221M32pp controllers (controllers without embedded Ethernet).

(1) Forces configuration of the Twido controller built-in RS 485 port with the TwidoSuite programming protocol parameters.
(2) Carries the 5 V c voltage (supplied by the Twido controller built-in RS 485 port) required by the TWDXCAISO isolation box,
