System Requirements
PC Configuration
The TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator can be installed on any PC that meets the following
minimum hardware and software requirements:
ComponentMinimum Requirement
ProcessorIntel Core 2 Duo processor or greater
RAM1 GB RAM
Display resolution1280 x 768 pixels or greater
Operating systemMicrosoft Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit processor)
Match Software and Hardware Configuration
Use the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator to build a configuration that matches the physical
configuration of TM3 expansion modules connected to each bus coupler.
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 or, depending on the controller reference, to or from
the controller (in the form of cartridges), then you must 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 no longer function while the embedded I/O that may
be present in your controller continues to operate.
Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit processor)
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit or 64-bit processor)
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit processor)
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Update the configuration of your program each time you add or delete any type of I/O expansions
on your I/O bus, 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.
Maximum Number of Modules
A maximum of 7 TM3 expansion modules can be added to a bus coupler.
By adding a pair of transmitter/receiver modules, an additional 7 TM3 expansion modules can be
added, for a total of 14 TM3 expansion modules.

WARNING
EIO0000004112 08/2020
Optional Modules
TM3 expansion modules can be marked as optional in the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator
configuration. The Optional module feature provides a more flexible configuration by the
acceptance of the definition of modules that are not physically attached to the bus coupler.
Therefore, a single application can support multiple physical configurations of I/O expansion
modules, allowing a greater degree of scalability without the necessity of maintaining multiple
application files for the same application.
Without the Optional module feature, when the bus coupler starts up the I/O expansion bus
(following a power cycle, application download or initialization command), it compares the
configuration defined in the application with the physical I/O modules attached to the I/O bus.
Among other diagnostics made, if the bus coupler determines that there are I/O modules defined
in the configuration that are not physically present on the I/O bus, an error is detected and the I/O
bus does not start.
With the Optional module feature, the bus coupler ignores the absent I/O expansion modules that
you have marked as optional, which then allows the bus coupler to start the I/O expansion bus.
The controller starts the I/O expansion bus at configuration time (following a power cycle,
application download, or initialization command) even if optional expansion modules are not
physically connected to the bus coupler.
NOTE: TM3 Transmitter/Receiver modules (the TM3XTRA1 and the TM3XREC1) cannot be
marked as optional.
You must be fully aware of the implications and impacts of marking I/O modules as optional in your
application, both when those modules are physically absent and present when running your
machine or process. Be sure to include this feature in your risk analysis.
Getting Started
WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Include in your risk analysis each of the variations of I/O configurations that can be realized
marking I/O expansion modules as optional, and in particular the establishment of TM3 Safety
modules (TM3S…) as optional I/O modules, and make a determination whether it is acceptable
as it relates to your application.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Marking an I/O Expansion Module as Optional
To add an expansion module and mark it as optional in the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator
configuration:
StepAction
1Add the expansion module to your TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator project.
2Select the Configuration tab.
3In the Optional module line, select Yes in the Value column.

Shared Internal ID Codes
Controllers and bus couplers identify expansion modules by an internal ID code. This ID code is
not specific to each reference, but identifies the logical structure of the expansion module.
Therefore, different references can share the same ID code.
You cannot have two modules with the same internal ID code declared as optional without at least
one mandatory module placed between them.
This table groups the module references sharing the same internal ID code:
The following lists the devices supported by the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator.
NOTE: Modicon TM2 expansion modules are not supported.

Introduction
Use the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator to generate configuration files for Modicon TM3 Bus
Couplers. This can be done
connected to the bus coupler.
A configuration file contains details of the:
Structure and number of expansion modules connected to the bus coupler
Configuration of the bus coupler
Configuration of each of the expansion modules connected to the bus coupler.
Each configuration file created with the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator is specific to one bus
coupler: if your configuration includes more than one bus coupler, create a separate configuration
file for each.
The Configuration Window
The configuration window is displayed when you start the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator:

Managing Power Consumption
Overview
The TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator monitors the number of modules in the configuration and
the power consumed by each module.
TM3 expansion modules consume power on the 5 Vdc TM3 internal bus.
Modules with an independent 24 Vdc power supply may also consume power on the 24 Vdc
internal I/O bus. For example, the TM3XTYS4 modules consumes 37 mA on the 5 Vdc TM3
internal bus and 17 mA on the 24 Vdc internal I/O bus.
Segments
A TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator configuration comprises 1 or 2
The bus coupler and the TM3 modules directly connected to it form the
Adding the TM3XTRA1/TM3XREC1 module pair to the end of the bus coupler segment creates
a new

TM3XREC1 module.
As the TM3XREC1 module has an independent power supply, it provides the power to the
modules on the transmitter/receiver segment through the 5 Vdc TM3 internal bus.
The total power consumed by the modules on each segment must not exceed 100% of the power
available on the corresponding bus.

modules consume a lower percentage of power on the bus coupler segment than on the
transmitter/receiver segment.

The TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator displays appropriate error or advisory messages in the
Messages area of the Power Consumption window if:
The maximum number of TM3 modules supported by the bus coupler is exceeded.
The total power consumption of all modules in a segment exceeds 100% of available power.
NOTE: The current consumption figures presented by the Power Consumption function are based
on assumed values rather than actual current measurements. The assumed values for the outputs
are based on normal loads. The assumed values for input signals are based on known internal
loads. While the use of the Power Consumption function to test the power budget is required, it is
no substitute for real and complete system testing and commissioning.

Exporting Generic Configuration Files
Overview
A generic configuration file can be exported from the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator in a number
of different formats, which can then be imported into external software packages.
The export process differs depending on the communication protocol being used:
EtherNet/IP
Modbus SL / Modbus TCP
CANopen
EtherNet/IP
A configuration file for an EtherNet/IP bus coupler is exported as an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
file. The EDS is a generic file that contains information about assembly instances and their size.
The size of the input (T->O) and output (O->T) assemblies corresponds to the configuration of the
TM3 modules connected to the bus coupler.
A Memory Mapping Table, a file that contains information about communication parameters
(EtherNet/IP assembly instances, inputs and outputs data structures), can also be exported.
This figure shows examples of external software packages and controllers:
(see page 34)
(see page 35)

Configuring CANopen PD O Transmission Mo de for Analog Inpu ts
Section 3.7
Configuring CANopen PDO Transmission Mode for Analog
Inputs
Configuring CANopen PDO Transmission Mode for Analog Inputs
Overview
Process Data Objects (PDOs) are objects that control the exchange of data between CANopen bus
couplers and remote devices on the network.
For analog inputs, CANopen supports using events to control data transmission. Data is only
transmitted when an event is triggered. This helps reduce bus load and maintain transfer times.
Configuring CANopen PDO Transmission Mode for Analog Inputs
For analog inputs, events can be configured to trigger when values:
Fall below a threshold value (lower limit)
Exceed an upper threshold value (upper limit)
Differ from the last transmitted value by a specified amount (delta)
Events can be configured individually or in combination. For example, if events are configured for
both an upper limit of 5000 and a delta of 100, then a value must both exceed 5000 and differ from
the previous value by more than ± 100 before the data is transmitted.
NOTE: If all events (upper limit, lower limit, and delta) are disabled and the PDO transmission
mode is configured in the bus coupler as acyclic or asynchronous, no analog data is transmitted.
Configuring Events
To configure events:
StepAction
1In the TM3 Bus Coupler IO Configurator, create a project with a TM3BCCO bus coupler and a
2On the Configuration tab, select a range mode by changing the value of Inputs → IWx → Type,
