WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
 The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths
and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and
after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel
stop, power outage and restart.
 Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
 System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the
implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.
 Observe all accident prevention regulations and local safety guidelines.1
 Each implementation of this equipment must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper
operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

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 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.

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.

Use the GetRightBusStatus function regularly to monitor the expansion bus status.

Interlock

Description
In 2 channel operation, both inputs related to both channels must be seen open before a safety
cycle can be started and the output can be closed. This functionality ensures that the output circuit
cannot be activated if one of the input channels is not able to be open (for example in case of
contact malfunction or short circuit).
The interlock function checks if both K1 and K2 relays are open before the safety cycle. In case of
short power-supply interruption, one of the relays may be off while the other remains on. To allow
the operation of the module on power return, the power-supply interruption should be at least
100 ms in duration.

Power Cycle
The interlock condition is reset by a power cycle. Information about a possible malfunction
detected, provided by the interlock, is interrupted and not recovered before the next safety cycle.

Reset
The logic controller can request to reset the safety module by communicating with the safety
module on the TM3 Bus.
When the reset signal is active, both safety module internal relays are deactivated.
The reset signal can be used to reset the module after the activation of the interlock function.
NOTE: The reset signal overwrites an activated interlock function. Information about a possible
malfunction detected, provided by the interlock, is interrupted and not recovered before the next
safety cyle.
The interruption of the interlock function could lead to the degradation of the safety level of the
system. The reset of this function should only be done manually after verification of the intended
functionality.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Do not use the reset function to reset an interlock programmatically.
 Always verify the interlock notification before using the reset function.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Start

Description
Two modes are available for the start functionality:
Non-monitored start: When non-monitored, the start mode can be:
 Manually controlled (conditioned by the input state)
 Automatic (hardwired)

Monitored start: When monitored, the start mode is manually controlled (conditioned by the input
edge).
This figure represents the events sequence for the two start modes available:

Events description:
1. Monitored start condition is triggered by a falling edge on the start input.
2. Non-monitored start condition is available as long as the start input is on.
The start condition can be valid before the safety-related input.
3. The outputs get activated only if start + safety-related input conditions are valid.
NOTE: For a monitored start, the falling edge on the start input must appear within 20 seconds
(± 5 seconds) after activation of the start input at nominal supply voltage.
Both the safety conditions and the start conditions must be valid before allowing the activation of
outputs.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use either the monitored start or the non-monitored start as a safety function.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Manual Non-Monitored Start

The start condition is valid when the start input is closed (start switch is pressed).
This figure represents how to connect a switch on a TM3 safety module to configure a manual non-
monitored start:

Automatic Start
There is no start interlock when automatic start is used. After a power cycle, the output behavior
depends solely on the state of the inputs.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use automatic start if a start interlock is required in your application after a power cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

The module is in automatic start mode if the start input is permanently closed (hardwired).
This figure represents how to connect a switch on a TM3 safety module to configure an automatic
start:

NOTE: There is no start interlock in automatic start after a power cycle.

 TM3 Safety Modules Configuration

Monitored Start
In monitored start mode, the outputs are activated when:
 All required inputs are closed
 A falling edge is applied to the start input. A falling edge means that the start switch is pressed
and released again.
At nominal supply voltage, the start switch must be released within 20 seconds (± 5 seconds) after
it has been closed. The exact delay depends on supply voltage and ambient temperature.
This figure represents how to connect a switch on a TM3 safety module to configure a monitored
start (when available on the module):

External Device Monitoring (EDM)

Description
External device monitoring functionality is used to ensure that external contactors controlled by the
safety module outputs are able to interrupt the safety circuit. This functionality is implemented by
adding the external contactor feedback to the start condition of the safety module.
The external contactor must provide a feedback through a normally closed auxiliary contact forcibly
guided by its normally open safety contact. The start condition is valid only when the external
feedback (normally closed) is closed.
External device monitoring can be performed on:
 1 channel.
External feedback is provided to the start condition.
 2 channels for short circuit detection.
External feedback is provided to the start condition and to the S4 input.
NOTE: The state of the external device is only monitored when the safety module is analyzing the
start condition validity. When outputs are activated, the external device is not monitored.

EDM Configuration With One Channel

This figure shows an example of 1 channel EDM with the external feedback (K3 and K4) added to
the start condition, and S41 directly connected to S42:

Synchronization Time Monitoring for TM3SAK6R / TM3SAK6RG

Description
The synchronization time monitoring is relevant for 2 channel applications. It monitors both inputs
to determine that they are activated simultaneously (within a defined time).
When the synchronization time monitoring is enabled, the outputs are allowed to be activated if
both input S2 (S21-S22) and input S3 (S31-S32) are activated within 2 or 4 seconds. The defined
time depends on which input is activated first as explained in the following figure. The outputs are
not activated if the synchronization time is expired.
This figure represents the synchronization time monitoring chronogram on a TM3SAK6R• module
in a 2 channel application:

Events description:
1. S2 operated before S3
2. S3 operated before S2
3. Outputs are not activated because the synchronization time is expired.
The synchronization time monitoring allows to detect a closed input without intention (short circuit)
before the activation of the other input.

Synchronization Time Monitoring Control

The synchronization time monitoring is enabled or disabled by the system logic controller through
a communication with the safety module on the TM3 Bus.
The synchronization time monitoring is an additional feature that contributes to the safety system,
but cannot itself provide for functional safety.

WARNING
MISUSE OF THE INTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION TIME CONDITION
Do not use the synchronization time monitoring to control safety-related operations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

74 EIO0000001402 07/2014
 TM3 Safety Modules Configuration

When enabled, the synchronization time is monitored by the module internal safety-related
microcontroller.
In a 2 channel application, S2 and S3 simultaneous activation is monitored if SyncOn bit is set to 1.
For more information, refer to the TM3 Programming Guide.

Power-On Condition

Description
When applying power to the safety module, the outputs are activated only if these four conditions
are fulfilled:
 The start condition (see page 69) is valid.
 The safety conditions (safety-related inputs) indicate to activate the outputs.
 The internal enable (see page 78) condition is valid.

WARNING

Enable Condition

Description
The enable condition is a module internal control required to allow the internal relays to be switched
on. The internal relays can only be switched on if the following conditions are fulfilled:
 The start condition (see page 69) is valid.
 The safety conditions (safety-related inputs) indicate to activate the outputs.
 The internal enable condition is valid.

Once the safety outputs are activated, they are deactivated if either the enable condition is not valid
or the safety conditions are no longer valid.

Enable Condition
The enable condition is set by the logic controller through a communication with the safety module
on the TM3 Bus.

WARNING
MISUSE OF THE INTERNAL ENABLE CONDITION
Do not use the internal enable condition, transacted over the TM3 Bus, to control safety-related
operations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

The enable condition is enabled by the system logic controller through a communication on the
TM3 Bus.
The enable condition is disabled by:
 The system logic controller through a communication on the TM3 Bus.
 The module internal safety-related microcontroller when:
 The synchronization time (see page 74) is enabled and a time-out occurs.
 The TM3 Bus time-out occurs.

Configuring the TM3 Transmitter and Receiver I/O Modules

Introduction
The TM3XTRA1 transmitter module is equipped with:
 1 RJ-45 connector
 1 functional ground screw
 2 status LEDs (link and power)

The TM3XREC1 receiver module is equipped with:

 1 RJ-45 connector
 2 status LEDs (link and power)
 Removable 24 Vdc power supply

The transmitter expansion module is connected to the logic controller through the TM3 bus.The
transmitter must be the last physical module directly connected to the logic controller.
The receiver module is connected to the transmitter module using a specific cable
(VDIP1845460••).
Additional TM3 modules can then be connected to the receiver module through the extended TM3
bus.
NOTE: You cannot use TM2 expansion modules in configurations that include the TM3
transmitter/receiver modules.

Configuring the Modules

The TM3XTRA1 and TM3XREC1 expansion modules have no configurable properties in
SoMachine.

Behavior of the TM3 Transmitter and Receiver Modules

Overview
The following exceptional behaviors can occur with TM3 transmitter and receiver modules:
 Transmitter/receiver cable disconnected or broken during operation
 Removing receiver module power during operation
 Receiver module disconnected during startup
 Receiver module powered on after the controller

The TM3 modules before the transmitter module are called "Local", and those after the receiver
module are called "Remote".
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.

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.

Transmitter/Receiver Cable Disconnected or Broken During Operation

The logic controller continuously retries to access the modules attached to the receiver module.
When the receiver module detects cable disconnection:
 All local modules continue operating.
 All remote modules are put into the Reset state.
 I/O LED is on, and TM3 status bit (plc_r.i_lwSystemFault_1.1) is set to 0.
 Diagnostic information for the remote modules is available in the TM3_MODULE_R array.
 In SoMachine a red sign appears in front of the TM3 module with detected errors.

Reconnecting the cable does not restore normal operation. Only a logic controller power cycle or
reset restores normal operation after disconnecting and then reconnecting the cable.

 I/O LED is on, and TM3 status bit (plc_r.i_lwSystemFault_1.1) is set to 0.
 Diagnostic information for the remote modules is available in the TM3_MODULE_R array.
 In SoMachine a red sign appears in front of the TM3 module with detected errors.

Restoring power results in the TM3 modules attached to the receiver module assuming a Reset
state. Only a logic controller power cycle or reset restores normal operation.

Receiver Module Disconnected During Start-up

If the receiver module was not connected at logic controller start-up, nothing happens because the
TM3 bus is not started.

Receiver Module Powered on After the Controller

If two separate power supplies are used for the receiver module and the controller, the power
supply of the receiver module must be switched on before the controller power supply. The TM3
bus does not start if the correct order of power application is not respected, and all modules are in
Reset state (all outputs are forced to 0).
If the receiver module and the logic controller are supplied by the same power supply, the whole
configuration starts operating.
If only the receiver module is powered (logic controller not supplied), the TM3 modules after the
receiver module are in Reset state (all outputs are forced to 0).

D
digital I/O
(digital input/output) An individual circuit connection at the electronic module that corresponds
directly to a data table bit. The data table bit holds the value of the signal at the I/O circuit. It gives
the control logic digital access to I/O values.

E
expansion bus
An electronic communication bus between expansion I/O modules and a controller.

F
function
A programming unit that has 1 input and returns 1 immediate result. However, unlike FBs, it is
directly called with its name (as opposed to through an instance), has no persistent state from one
call to the next and can be used as an operand in other programming expressions.
Examples: boolean (AND) operators, calculations, conversions (BYTE_TO_INT)

H
HE10
Rectangular connector for electrical signals with frequencies below 3 MHz, complying with IEC
60807-2.

R
RJ-45
A standard type of 8-pin connector for network cables defined for Ethernet.

T
terminal block
(terminal block) The component that mounts in an electronic module and provides electrical
connections between the controller and the field devices.
