TM41 properties

The TM41 terminal module can be used to expand the number of digital I/Os and 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 I/Os and the analog input can be interconnected using the BICO configuration.
The TM41 encoder interface (incremental encoder representation) can
● Be interconnected with a Control Unit encoder signal (from sin/cos incremental encoders,
for example), using parameterization. For detailed information, consult the SINAMICS
manuals.
● From the SIMOTION viewpoint, be accessed as an axis. This allows you to make the axis
position (a master value) available to a second controller as an encoder signal, for example.
Configuring the TM41 involves the following steps:
● Configuring TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated (Page 219)
● Configuring the TM41 using the axis wizard (Page 220)

Configuring TM41 at SINAMICS Integrated

Procedure
The TM41 can be configured after you completed the configuration of SINAMICS Integrated.
Proceed as follows:
1. Double-click "Insert input output component" at "Input/output component" in the Project
Navigator.
2. Select the TM41 from the "Drive object type" field of the "Insert Input/Output Component"
dialog box and assign a unique name to the module.
3. Confirm your entry with "OK".
Result
The TM41 is inserted in the Project Navigator by the name you entered.
