Wiring Best Practices

Introduction
There are several rules that must be followed when wiring the TM5 System.

Wiring Rules

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
 Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any
covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except
under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
 Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when
indicated.
 Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a
proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
 Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The following rules must be applied when wiring the TM5 System:
 I/O and communication wiring must be kept separate from the power wiring. Route these 2 types
of wiring in separate cable ducting.
 Verify that the operating conditions and environment are within the specification values.
 Use proper wire sizes to meet voltage and current requirements.
 Use copper conductors only.
 Use twisted pair, shielded cables for analog, expert, or fast I/O and TM5 bus signals.
 Use twisted pair, shielded cables for encoder, networks and fieldbus (CAN, serial, Ethernet).

EIO0000004159 09/2020 17
Rules for Implementing

Use shielded, properly grounded cables for all analog and high-speed inputs or outputs and
communication connections. If you do not use shielded cable for these connections,
electromagnetic interference can cause signal degradation. Degraded signals can cause the
controller or attached modules and equipment to perform in an unintended manner.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Use shielded cables for all fast I/O, analog I/O and communication signals.
 Ground cable shields for all analog I/O, fast I/O and communication signals at a single point1.
 Route communication and I/O cables separately from power cables.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

1Multipoint
grounding is permissible if connections are made to an equipotential ground plane
dimensioned to help avoid cable shield damage in the event of power system short-circuit currents.
Refer to the section Grounding the TM5 System to ground the shielded cables.

TM5 Strain Relief Using Cable Tie

There are 2 methods to reduce the stress on cables:
 The terminal blocks have slots to attach cable ties. A cable tie can be fed through this slot to
secure cables and wires to reduce stress between them and the terminal block connections.
 After grounding the TM5 System by means of the grounding plate TM2XMTGB, wires can be
bundled and affixed to the grounding plate tabs using wire ties to reduce stress on the cables.
The following table provides the size of the cable tie and presents the two methods to reduce the
stress on the cables:

Protecting Outputs from Inductive Load Damage

Depending on the load, a protection circuit may be needed for the outputs on the controllers and
certain modules. Inductive loads using DC voltages may create voltage reflections resulting in
overshoot that will damage or shorten the life of output devices.

WARNING
INDUCTIVE LOADS
Use an appropriate external protective circuit or device to reduce the risk of inductive direct
current load damage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

If your controller or module contains relay outputs, these types of outputs can support up to
240 Vac. Inductive damage to these types of outputs can result in welded contacts and loss of
control. Each inductive load must include a protection device such as a peak limiter, RC circuit or
flyback diode. Capacitive loads are not supported by these relays.

WARNING
RELAY OUTPUTS WELDED CLOSED
 Always protect relay outputs from inductive alternating current load damage using an
appropriate external protective circuit or device.
 Do not connect relay outputs to capacitive loads.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Protective circuit A: this protection circuit can be used for both AC and DC load power circuits.

C Value from 0.1 to 1 μF

R Resistor of approximately the same resistance value as the load

EIO0000004159 09/2020 21
Rules for Implementing

Protective circuit B: this protection circuit can be used for DC load power circuits.

Use a diode with the following ratings:

 Reverse withstand voltage: power voltage of the load circuit x10.
 Forward current: more than the load current.

Protective circuit C: this protection circuit can be used for both AC and DC load power circuits.

In applications where the inductive load is switched on and off frequently and/or rapidly, ensure
that the continuous energy rating (J) of the varistor exceeds the peak load energy by 20 % or more.

NOTE:
1 Part 1 and Part 2 of ISO 11898:2002 are equivalent to ISO 11898:1993.
2 The isolation of the electronic module is 500 Vac RMS between the electronics powered by TM5

power bus and the part powered by 24 Vdc I/O power segment connected to the module. In
practice, the TM5 electronic module is installed in the bus base, and there is a bridge between TM5
power bus and 24 Vdc I/O power segment. The two power circuits reference the same functional
ground (FE) through specific components designed to reduce effects of electromagnetic
interference. These components are rated at 30 Vdc or 60 Vdc. This effectively reduces isolation
of the entire system from the 500 Vac RMS.
3 A resistor (R) is needed on each end of the CAN field bus.

The USB Mini-B Port is the programming port you can use to connect a PC with a USB host port
using EcoStruxure Machine Expert software. Using a typical USB cable, this connection is suitable
for quick updates of the program or short duration connections to perform maintenance and inspect
data values. It is not suitable for long-term connections such as commissioning or monitoring
without the use of specially adapted cables to help minimize electromagnetic interference.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION OR INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
 You must use a shielded USB cable such as a BMX XCAUSBH0•• secured to the functional
ground (FE) of the system for any long-term connection.
 Do not connect more than one controller or bus coupler at a time using USB connections.
 Do not use the USB port(s), if so equipped, unless the location is known to be non-hazardous.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Use shielded cables for all fast I/O, analog I/O, and communication signals.
 Ground cable shields for all fast I/O, analog I/O, and communication signals at a single point1.
 Route communications and I/O cables separately from power cables.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

1
Multipoint grounding is permissible (and in some cases inevitable) if connections are made to an
equipotential ground plane dimensioned to help avoid cable shield damage in the event of power
system short-circuit currents.
For more information, refer to the TM5 System Wiring Rules and Recommendation.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not connect wires to unused terminals and/or terminals indicated as “No Connection (N.C.)”.

Integrator Filter Principle

The integrator filter is designed to reduce the effect of noise. Setting a filter value allows the
controller to ignore some sudden changes of input levels caused by noise.
The following timing diagram illustrates the integrator filter effects for a value of 4 ms:

NOTE: The value selected for the filter’s time parameter specifies the cumulative time in ms that
must elapse before the input is recognized as logical 1, as well as specifying how long the filtered
input signal remains at logical 1.

Bounce Filter Principle

The bounce filter is designed to reduce the bounce effect at the inputs. Setting a bounce filter value
allows the controller to ignore some sudden changes of input levels caused by contact bounce. The
bounce filter is only available on the fast inputs.
