The TM54F Terminal Module is a dual-processor I/O interface with 4 fail-safe digital outputs and 10 fail-safe digital inputs for utilization of the Safety Integrated functions of the SINAMICS S120 drive system over external actuators and sensors.

Every available safety function integrated in the drive can be controlled via the fail-safe digital inputs of the TM54F Terminal Module. In cases where the parameterized safety functions of multiple drives operated on a CU320?2, SIMOTION D4x5?2 or Controller Extension CX32?2 are to be executed on a group basis, the relevant drives can be combined into groups in the TM54F Terminal Module. This has the advantage that only one fail-safe digital input needs to be connected for these drives.

The fail-safe digital outputs and inputs have two channels with internal cross-over data comparison using the two processors. A fail-safe digital output consists of one current sourcing and one current sinking output as well as a digital input for reading back the switching state. A fail-safe digital input consists of two digital inputs.

Safety sensors can be connected over two switchable 24 V sensor supplies and can be evaluated over the fail-safe digital inputs. The switchable 24 V sensor supply ensures that the fail-safe digital inputs can be dynamized for error discovery (fault checking procedure). An unswitchable 24 V sensor supply is additionally provided by the TM54F Terminal Module for connecting undynamizable safety sensors.

The TM54F Terminal Module must be connected to a CU310?2, CU320?2 or SIMOTION D Control Unit via a DRIVE?CLiQ cable. Only one TM54F Terminal Module can be assigned to each Control Unit. It is not permissible to make the TM54F connection via another DRIVE?CLiQ device, e.g. a Motor Module or Line Module.
