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.

WARNING
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.

Configuring Cartridges

I/O Configuration
The configuration of a cartridge is carried out through the I/O Mapping and I/O Configuration tabs
of the cartridge module.
To display the configuration tabs:

Step Action
1 In the Devices tree, double-click the cartridge. The I/O Mapping tab appears.
2 Edit the parameters of the I/O Mapping tab to configure the addresses used by the cartridge module
and diagnostic information.
3 Click the I/O Configuration tab to configure the cartridge. For details on the I/O Configuration tab, refer
to the description of individual modules.

I/O Mapping Tab Description

The I/O Mapping tab allows you to:
 Map input and output channels onto variables.
 View diagnostic information relating to the current status of the cartridge.

This figure shows an example of the I/O Mapping tab:

This table describes each parameter of the I/O Mapping tab for inputs and outputs:

Parameter Description
Variable Allows you to map the channel on a variable.
NOTE: Expand the list of variables from the category Inputs or Outputs.
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.
This figure shows the Input Assistant window:

Mapping Indicates whether the channel is mapped on a new variable or an existing variable.

Cartridge Configuration General Information

Updating Cartridges Firmware

Introduction
The TMC4 cartridges have a firmware that you can update. The firmware update can only be done
when the cartridge is mounted on the controller.
The firmware version of the cartridge can be seen in the i_uifirmwareVersion variable of the
CART_R_STRUCT (see Modicon M241 Logic Controller, System Functions and Variables,
PLCSystem Library Guide) in the M241 PLCSystem Library Guide.
The cartridge firmware is delivered in .bin files.

Description
When the controller starts, it checks if there is a file named cart1.bin or cart2.bin in the
/sys/OS directory of the internal file system. If such a file is found, and if a cartridge is installed in
the controller and configured, the firmware update of the cartridge starts.
NOTE: The firmware is only updated if the firmware file is different from the current firmware of the
cartridge. The firmware file is not automatically deleted from the /sys/OS directory.
The firmware update operation lasts approximately 10 seconds per cartridge.

Procedure
Follow this procedure to update the cartridge firmware:

Step Action
1 Copy the .bin file onto the SD card (see Modicon M241 Logic Controller, Programming Guide).
2 Generate a script using the SD Card Mass Storage (see Modicon M241 Logic Controller,
Programming Guide) editor and the Download command to store the cart1.bin file into the
/sys/OS directory of the controller.
3 Insert the SD card into the controller.
4 Restart the controller.
NOTE: The PWR LED of the cartridge is OFF to indicate that the firmware update is in progress.
5 Wait until the PWR LED of the cartridge is ON or flashing, indicating that the firmware update is
complete.

TMC4HOIS01

Introduction
The TMC4HOIS01 cartridge features 2 analog voltage or current input channels with 12-bit
resolution.
The channel input types are:
 0...10 V
 0...20 mA
 4...20 mA

For further hardware information, refer to TMC4HOIS01 (see Modicon TMC4, Cartridges,
Hardware Guide).
If you have physically wired the analog channel for a voltage signal and you configure the channel
for a current signal in EcoStruxure Machine Expert, you may damage the analog circuit.

NOTICE
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
Verify that the physical wiring of the analog circuit is compatible with the software configuration
for the analog channel.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

TMC4PACK01

Introduction
The TMC4PACK01 cartridge module features 2 analog voltage or current input channels with 12-
bit resolution.
The channel input types are:
 0...10 V
 0...20 mA
 4...20 mA

For further hardware information, refer to TMC4PACK01 (see Modicon TMC4, Cartridges,
Hardware Guide).
If you have physically wired the analog channel for a voltage signal and you configure the channel
for a current signal in EcoStruxure Machine Expert, you may damage the analog circuit.

NOTICE
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
