  • Page 7: General Information

    1.1. Target group for this manual This manual is intended for all project engineers, design engineers, technicians (skilled workers with electrical training), and users who work with the TB20 I/O system. 1.2. Symbols and signal words The following symbols and signal words are used in this documentation. The combination of a pictogram and signal word classifies each safety warning.
  • Page 8: Safety Instructions

    Read the operating instructions carefully before initial use. Fulfill the required security conditions before the initial start-up. Observe the general safety instructions and the specific safety information included in the other sections. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 9 Risk of death and injury in case of improper use Define the responsibilities of the staff. The TB20 modules should only be used for the functions characteristic of a communications and signaling system. Safety-relevant functions should not be controlled solely with the coupler or with an operating terminal.
  • Page 10: Overview

    Overview 2.1. General information The TB20 I/O system is an open-ended, modular, and distributed peripheral system designed to be mounted on 35 mm DIN rails. It is made up of the following components: 1. A bus coupler 2. One or more peripheral modules 3.
  • Page 11: Power And Isolation Module

    (see below). Note Power and isolation modules can be recognized by the bright color of their case. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 12: Power Module

    This is required whenever the power supplied by the coupler alone is not sufficient, e.g., when there are a large number of modules on the bus. The “TB20 ToolBox” configuration program can be used to determine whether power modules are needed as well as how many of them will be needed.
  • Page 13: Components In A Module

    2.2.6. Components in a module Each module consists of three parts: • A base module • The electronics module and • The front connector TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 14: Module Coding

    (digital in, digital out, analog in, analog out, power, etc.) from the TB20 I/O system. It is only possible to plug an electronic module into a base module if the positions of the coding plug and the positions of the coding socket match.
  • Page 15: Installation And Removal

    Hazard Risk of death and injury through electrical energy Risk of death by electric shock! Before starting any work on the TB20 system, make sure to de-energize all components as well as the cables supplying them with power. Attention Installation must be carried out as per VDE 0100/IEC 364. Since the coupler and segments are modules with a protection rating of IP 20, they must be installed inside an enclosure.

  • Page 27: Wiring

    Shielding faults can result in serious malfunctions, including the system’s failure. 4.2. Front connector The front connector’s spring-clamp terminals are designed for a cross-sectional cable area of up to 1.5 mm² (16–22 AWG) with or without ferrules. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 28: Wiring The Coupler

    The AUX pin can be used to set up and use an additional wiring channel. Every peripheral module has an AUX terminal on its front connector (the bottommost terminal, i.e., terminals 10 and 20). Shielding/grounding is achieved with a corresponding shield contact on the DIN rail: TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 29: Using Power And Isolation Modules

    Its electronic module and base module have the same light gray color as the front connector, ensuring that all power and isolation modules will stand out visually in the system and make it easy to clearly distinguish each individual power supply segment. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 30: Separate Power Supply Segments For The Coupler And The I/O Components

    Separate power supply segments for the coupler and the I/O components If the power supply for the coupler needs to be separate from the power supply for the I/O modules, a power and isolation module can be used right after the coupler. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 31: Using Power Modules

    Power modules must be used whenever the power supplied by the coupler alone is not sufficient, e.g., when there are a large number of modules on the bus. The “TB20 ToolBox” program can be used to calculate a system’s total current draw.
  • Page 32: Fusing

    ID, module model, order number, unique serial number, hardware version, firmware version, and internal range of functionalities. This information can be read in a number of ways, one of which is by using the “TB20 ToolBox” program. The modules’ electronic nameplates not only make it possible to prevent configuration errors (setup), but also make maintenance (servicing) easier.

  • Page 45: Startup Flow

    The TB20 IO system can be in three different states: IDLE: TB20 is not yet ready to operate STOP: TB20 is ready to operate, but the outputs are inactive or have replacement values RUN: TB20 in cyclic operation, outputs are switched, inputs are read The condition of the coupler or the module can be read from the operating LEDs (see also section 6.8.1 and 6.8.2).
  • Page 46 The coupler switches into IDLE regardless of the module structure and cannot switch to RUN or STOP unless a project has been transferred to the non-volatile memory of the coupler. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...

    RSLogix / Studio 5000 (Rockwell Automation, Inc.). 7.1.2. Application options The TB20 coupler can be used in a variety of application options. These are listed in the EDS file as “Connection” and can therefore also be used very easily in project planning when the EDS file is used.
  • Page 53: Exclusive Owner Connection

    In this scenario, the scanner cannot control the outputs; it only receives the input data of the coupler. The input values can be sent to the scanner either as unicast or multicast. Often the scanner involves systems for production data acquisition. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
  • Page 54: Listen-Only Connection

    In this scenario, the scanner cannot control the outputs; it only listens to the input data sent to another device as multicast. This means establishing a listen-only connection requires an existing multicast connection (exclusive owner or input only). Usually the scanner involves systems for production data acquisition. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 1 | 07.07.2014...
