6.15 TM41 terminal module
6.15.1 Overview
The TM41 terminal module can be used to expand the number of digital I/O and of analog
inputs within a drive system. TM41 also returns TTL signals which emulate an incremental
encoder, for example, for a master control system.
The emulated encoder signal has the signal characteristic of an incremental TTL encoder (A
track, B track, R track). The resolution of the encoder signal can be specified in the
configuration.
Note
The digital inputs/outputs and the analog input can be interconnected via BICO
configuration.
The TM41 encoder interface (incremental encoder representation) can
● Be interconnected with an encoder signal of the control unit by means of
parameterization, e.g. sin/cos incremental encoders. For detailed information, see the
SINAMICS manuals.
● From the SIMOTION viewpoint, be accessed as axis. This allows you to return the axis
position (a master value) as an encoder signal to a second controller, for example. The
configuration can be performed symbolically and is described in the following.
Note
TM41 only supports the symbolic assignment for the encoder interface (no symbolic
assignment for the DI, DO and AI).
Configuring the TM41 involves the following steps:
● Configuring the TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated
● Configuring the TM41 using the axis wizard
