Issue:
Are there any IO expansions for the Magelis HMISCU HMI controller?
Product Line:
HMISCU, HMISCU8B5, HMISCU8A5, HMISCU6B5, HMISCU6A5, IO expansion, I/O expansion
EcoStruxure Machine Expert Software
Resolution:
The HMISCU does not have any IO expansion modules that connect directly to it, however now, there is a TM3 Bus Coupler Module that allows fast connectivity with TM3 I/O Modules.
The CANopen TM3 Bus Coupler - Part Number TM3BCCO connects to the embedded CANopen port on the HMISCU and is added from the Devices Tree under the CAN > CAN_Optimized node:
Underneath the TM3BC_CANopen node, TM3 Digital and Analog I/O Modules can be added:
From there, the TM3 I/O Modules can be configured and symbols can be mapped:
Also see the Catalog for TM3 Expansion IO Modules .
[Legacy Information]
Before the addition of the TM3 Bus Coupler in EcoStruxure Machine Expert, the previous options would have been to use:
- Advantys OTB island
- Advantys STB island
- use a small PLC (M221) with a Magelis (HMISTU) instead of the HMISCU.
- OTB1C0DM9LP - CANopen
- OTB1S0DM9LP - Modbus
- OTB1E0DM9LP - Ethernet MB-TCP/IP
The OTB1C0DM9LP (CANopen) version's configuration software is integrated into SoMachine v3.1 and higher.
