The main field of application for the TM15 and TM17 High Feature Terminal Modules are applications which in addition to digital inputs and output cams require very accurate measuring inputs and output cams. Several measuring inputs or output cams can be assigned to a real axis, virtual axis, or external encoder.

Examples for precise sensing with binary signals:

• Edge detection
• Quality monitoring (e.g. product is good/bad)
• Product tracing (e.g. product is available/not available)
• Detection of print marks
• Print mark correction
• Tool monitoring (e.g. for presses)
• Machine status monitoring (e.g. for broken threads in the textile industry)

Examples for precise output of binary signals

• Position-dependent switching of actuators
  • Camera trigger signal (quality assurance)
  • Control of an air nozzle for blowing away cut-offs
  • Controlling a nozzle for applying glue
• Product extraction from production line
• Implementation of line Motion Control systems
• Output of pulse patterns
