I/O Configuration General Precautions

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, 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 expansion bus or field bus will no longer function while the embedded I/O that
may be present in your controller will continue to operate.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete an I/O expansion, or you
add or delete any devices on your field bus.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Using I/O Modules in a Configuration

Adding a Module
The following steps explain how to add an expansion module to the logic controller in a SoMachine
Basic project:

Step Description Result

1 Click the Configuration tab in the SoMachine –
Basic window.
2 In the Catalog area of the window, click Digital –
I/O Modules, Analog I/O Modules, or Expert
I/O Modules.
3 Click the expansion module to add. A description of the physical characteristics of the
selected expansion module appears in the bottom

module in the Editor window and release the Information about the current status of the module
mouse button. appears in the lower central area of the
SoMachine Basic window.

Inserting a Module Between 2 Existing Modules

Drag the module between 2 modules, or between the controller and the first module, until a vertical
green bar appears. Then drop the module.
NOTE: The addresses change when you change the position of modules by inserting a new
module. For example, if you move an input module from position 4 to position 2, the addresses
change from I4.x to I2.x, and all corresponding addresses in the program are automatically
renamed.
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 important 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, update your application configuration (this is also
true for any field bus devices you may have in your installation). Otherwise, there is the potential
that the expansion bus or field bus will no longer function while the embedded I/O that may be
present in your controller will continue to operate.

14 EIO0000001390 04/2014
 I/O Configuration General Information

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete an I/O expansion, or you
add or delete any devices on your field bus.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Replacing an Existing Expansion Module

You can replace an existing module with a new module by dragging the new module and dropping
it onto the module to be replaced.
A message appears asking you to confirm the operation. Click Yes to continue.

Removing a Module
You can remove an expansion module by pressing the Delete key or by right-clicking the module
and clicking Remove on the contextual menu that appears.
If the expansion module contains at least one address being used in a program, a message
appears asking you to confirm the operation. Click Yes to continue.

Mixing Expansion Module Types

You can mix different I/O module types on the same logic controller (for example, TM2 and TM3
modules).
Place any TM2 module(s) at the end of your configuration after any TM3 module(s):

EIO0000001390 04/2014 15
I/O Configuration General Information

In this case, however, the I/O bus of the logic controller operates at the speed of the slower module
type. For example, when both TM2 and TM3 modules are used, the I/O bus of the logic controller
operates at the speed of the TM2 modules.

Maximum Hardware Configuration

SoMachine Basic displays a message when:
z The maximum number of modules supported by the logic controller is exceeded.
z The total power consumption of all expansion modules directly connected to the logic controller
exceeds the maximum current delivered by the logic controller.

I/O Objects

Introduction
I/O objects include both bits and words. Each physical input and output is mapped to these objects
in internal memory. I/O bit objects can be used as operands and tested by Boolean instructions.
I/O word objects can be used in most non-Boolean instructions such as functions and instructions
containing arithmetic operators.
Examples of I/O objects:
z Digital inputs
z Digital outputs
z Analog inputs
z Analog outputs
z Communication inputs and outputs

The range of valid objects is from 0 to the maximum configured and supported for your controller
(see the Hardware Guide and Programming Guide for your logic controller).

TM2AVO2HT

Introduction
TheTM2AVO2HT expansion module features 2 analog output channels, -10 V...+10 V output type,
11-bit resolution plus 1 sign bit, and 2 removable screw terminal blocks.
For further hardware information, refer to TM2AVO2HT (see Modicon TM2, Analog I/O Modules,
Hardware Guide)
For example, if you have physically wired the analog channel for a voltage signal and you configure
the channel for a current signal in SoMachine Basic, you may damage the analog circuit.

NOTICE
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
Verify that the physical wiring of the analog circuit is compatible with the software configuration
for the analog channel.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
