TM3 Bus Couplers General Description
Introduction
The Modicon TM3 bus couplers are devices designed to manage EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP,
Modbus serial line or CANopen communications, depending on the reference, in association with
TM2/TM3 I/O expansion modules in a distributed architecture.
Software configuration is accomplished with:
The EcoStruxure Machine Expert software (refer to the Modicon TM3 Bus Coupler -
Programming Guide).
The EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic software (refer to the Modicon TM3 Bus Coupler
The following illustration is an example of an association:
NOTE: Do not mount a TM2 module before any TM3 module as indicated in the following
illustration:

Maximum Number of Modules
Each TM3 bus coupler supports up to:
Module typeMaximum number of modules
TM27
TM2 - TM37
TM37 without transmitter and receiver.
NOTE: EcoStruxure Machine Expert and EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic software validate
the configuration to the extent possible. However, although EcoStruxure Machine Expert may
allow certain configurations, the maximum configuration populated by high energy consuming
modules, coupled with the maximum distance allowable between the TM3 transmitter and receiver
modules, may present bus communication issues in some environments. If this occurs, you will
need to analyze the energy consumption of the modules chosen for your configuration, minimize
the cable distance required by your application, and otherwise consider optimizing your choices.
The following table shows the TM3 digital input expansion modules, with corresponding channel
type, nominal voltage/current, and terminal type. For information on configuration of these
modules, refer to the TM3 Digital I/O Modules Configuration section.

Functional Ground (FE) on the DIN Rail
The DIN Rail for your system is common with the functional ground (FE) plane and must be
mounted on a conductive backplane.
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Connect the DIN rail to the functional ground (FE) of your installation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Protective Ground (PE) on the Backplane
The protective ground (PE) is connected to the conductive backplane by a heavy-duty wire, usually
a braided copper cable with the maximum allowable cable section.
Wiring Guidelines
The following rules must be applied when wiring a 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.
Use twisted-pair, shielded cables for analog, and/or fast I/O.
Use twisted-pair, shielded cables for networks, and field bus.
WARNING
56
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 point
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.
NOTE: Surface temperatures may exceed 60 °C (140 °F).
To conform to IEC 61010 standards, route primary wiring (wires connected to power mains)
separately and apart from secondary wiring (extra low voltage wiring coming from intervening
power sources). If that is not possible, double insulation is required such as conduit or cable gains.

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.
CAUTION
OUTPUT CIRCUIT DAMAGE DUE TO 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 injury or equipment damage.
EIO0000003635 08/202057
TM3 Bus Coupler Installation
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.
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.
AC-driven contactor coils are, under certain circumstances, inductive loads that generate
pronounced high-frequency interference and electrical transients when the contactor coil is deenergized. This interference may cause the logic controller to detect an I/O bus error.
CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL
Install an RC surge suppressor or similar means, such as an interposing relay, on each TM3
expansion module relay output when connecting to AC-driven contactors or other forms of
inductive loads.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

DC Power Supply Requirements
The TM3 bus coupler and the associated expansion modules require power supplies with a
nominal voltage of 24 Vdc. The 24 Vdc power supplies must be rated Protective Extra Low Voltage
(PELV) according to UL 61010-2-201 or IEC 60950 or Class 2 of NEC. These power supplies are
isolated between the electrical input and output circuits of the power supply.
POTENTIAL OF OVERHEATING AND FIRE
Do not connect the equipment directly to line voltage.
Use only isolating PELV power supplies and circuits to supply power to the equipment
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
1
For compliance to UL (Underwriters Laboratories) requirements, the power supply must also
conform to the various criteria of NEC Class 2, and be inherently current limited to a maximum
power output availability of less than 100 VA (approximately 4 A at nominal voltage), or not
inherently limited but with an additional protection device such as a circuit breaker or fuse meeting
the requirements of clause 9.4 Limited-energy circuit of UL 61010-1. In all cases, the current limit
should never exceed that of the electric characteristics and wiring diagrams for the equipment
described in the present documentation. In all cases, the power supply must be grounded, and you
must separate Class 2 circuits from other circuits. If the indicated rating of the electrical characteristics or wiring diagrams are greater than the specified current limit, multiple Class 2 power
supplies may be used.

Power interruption
The TM3 bus coupler must be supplied by an external 24 V power supply equipment. During power
interruptions, the TM3 bus coupler, associated to the suitable power supply, is able to continue
normal operation for a minimum of 10 ms as specified by IEC standards.
When planning the management of the power supplied to the controller, you must consider the
power interruption duration due to the fast cycle time of the controller.
There could potentially be many scans of the logic and consequential updates to the I/O image
table during the power interruption, while there is no external power supplied to the inputs, the
outputs or both depending on the power system architecture and power interruption
circumstances.
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Individually monitor each source of power used in the controller system including input power
supplies, output power supplies and the power supply to the controller to allow appropriate
system shutdown during power system interruptions.
The inputs monitoring each of the power supply sources must be unfiltered inputs.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Grounding the TM3 System
Overview
Due to the effects of electromagnetic interference, cables carrying fast I/O, analog I/O, and the
fieldbus communication signals must be shielded.
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 point
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.
The use of shielded cables requires compliance with the following wiring rules:
For protective earth ground connections (PE), metal conduit or ducting can be used for part of
the shielding length, provided there is no break in the continuity of the ground connections. For
functional ground (FE), the shielding is intended to attenuate electromagnetic interference and
the shielding must be continuous for the length of the cable. If the purpose is both functional and
protective, as is often the case for communication cables, the cable must have continuous
shielding.
Wherever possible, keep cables carrying one type of signal separate from the cables carrying
other types of signals or power.
WARNING

Protective Earth Ground (PE) on the Backplane
The protective earth ground (PE) is connected to the conductive backplane by a heavy-duty wire,
usually a braided copper cable with the maximum allowable cable section.
EIO0000003635 08/202063
TM3 Bus Coupler Installation
Shielded Cables Connections
Cables carrying fast I/O, analog I/O, and the fieldbus communication signals must be shielded. The
shielding must be securely connected to ground. Fast I/O and analog I/O shields may be
connected either to the functional ground (FE) or to the protective earth ground (PE) of your TM3
expansion module. The fieldbus communication cable shields must be connected to the protective
earth ground (PE) with a connecting clamp secured to the conductive backplane of your
installation.
ACCIDENTAL DISCONNECTION FROM PROTECTIVE GROUND (PE)
Do not use the TM2XMTGB Grounding Bar to provide a protective earth ground (PE).
Use the TM2XMTGB Grounding Bar only to provide a functional ground (FE).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Rotary Switch
Overview
The two rotary switches located on the front panel of the TM3 CANopen bus coupler are used to
set the CANopen bit rate and CANopen NodeID.
Default values on the rotary switches are:
0 for TENS
0 for ONES
(TENS) Set the bit rate/represents the tens numbered 0 to 120.
(ONES) Authorize to set the bit rate when set to not used position/represents the numbers 0 to 9.
Setting the Bit Rate
The TM3 CANopen bus coupler detects a new bit rate selection by the rotary switches only during
power up. The bit rate is written to non-volatile memory.
Set the ONES rotary switch to any of the unnumbered positions (not used) to set a particular bit
rate with the TENS rotary switch.
NOTE: Any modification of the rotary switch position during operational mode is not taken into
account. The ERR LED flashes red. See status LEDs
Bit rate can also be set and verified via the web server. For more information, refer to the
Modicon TM3 Bus Coupler Programming Guide.

CANopen Bit Rate Setting Example
The following figure shows an example when the bit rate is configured to 500 kbits/s:
(TENS) Set to 5 to configure the bit rate to 500 kbits/s.
(ONES) Set to the not used position to authorize the bit rate setting.
Setting the CANopen Address
The TM3 CANopen bus coupler address (from 1 to 127, decimal) is configured using the two
CANopen address settings rotary switches.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not use an address outside of the specified range (from 1 to 127).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
To reset the CANopen bus coupler, remove power and provide a correct address before reapplying
power to the bus coupler.
Set the CANopen address using the TENS rotary switch to represent the hundreds and tens digit
and the ONES rotary switch to represent the units digit.
EIO0000003635 08/2020
Carefully manage the addresses because each device on the network requires a unique address.
Having multiple devices with the same address can cause unintended operation of your network
and associated equipment.
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not connect the CANopen cable and apply power to the TM3 CANopen Bus Coupler on
network that is operational (other devices connected in an ongoing control scheme) unless you
first set the appropriate, unique address for the Bus Coupler.
Assure that unique CANopen addresses are assigned to the TM3 CANopen Bus Coupler, and
that those addresses are also unique from all other devices connected to the network.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
CANopen Address Setting Example
The following figure shows an example when the CANopen address is set to 115:
