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.
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.
For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), "Safety Guidelines for the
Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control" and to NEMA ICS 7.1 (latest
edition), "Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Operation of
Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems" or their equivalent governing your particular location.
WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Only use software approved by Schneider Electric for use with this equipment.
Update your application program every time you change the physical hardware configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

I/O Configuration General Information
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 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.
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.
Use the GetRightBusStatus function regularly to monitor the expansion bus status.
The Optional Feature for I/O Expansion Modules
I/O expansion modules can be marked as optional in the 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 controller. 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.
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.
WARNING
14
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.
NOTE: For more details about this feature, refer to Optional I/O Expansion Modules

Adding an Expansion Module
Adding a Module
To add an expansion module to your controller, select the expansion module in the Hardware
Catalog, drag it to the Devices tree, and drop it on one of the highlighted nodes.

You can map a channel by either creating a new variable or mapping to an existing variable.
Create new variable:
Double-click the variable to enter the new variable name. A new variable is created if the
variable does not already exist.
Map to existing variable:
Double-click the variable and click [...] to open the Input Assistant window. Select the
variable from the list and press OK.

Depending on the controller reference, you can configure the Bus cycle options.
This configuration setting is the parent for all Bus cycle task parameters used in the
application device tree.
Some devices with cyclic calls, such as a CANopen manager, can be attached to a specific
task. In the device, when this setting is set to Use parent bus cycle setting, the setting set
for the controller is used.
The selection list offers all tasks currently defined in the active application. The default

I/O Configuration General Information
Configuring the Latch and Filter Parameters
The latch parameter allows incoming pulses with amplitude widths shorter than the controller scan
time to be captured and recorded. You can select the type of edge (rising, falling, both or none).
The filter parameter reduces the effect of bounce on a controller digital input.
NOTE: The more the filter value is low, the more the effects of electromagnetic interference are
maximized.
The following timing diagram illustrates the latching effects:
NOTE: You can configure these parameters on the following modules:
This table describes how to configure the latch and filter parameters.

Optional I/O Expansion Modules
Presentation
I/O expansion modules can be marked as optional in the 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 controller. 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 controller 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 controller 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 controller ignores the absent I/O expansion modules that you
have marked as optional, which then allows the controller 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 controller.
The following module types can be marked as optional:
NOTE: TM3 Transmitter/Receiver modules (the TM3XTRA1 and the TM3XREC1) and TMC4
cartridges 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.
I/O Configuration General Information
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.
