TX-I/O™

Super universal modules TXM1.8X

TXM1.8X-ML
• Two fully compatible versions:
– TXM1.8X: 8 inputs/outputs with LED signal / fault indication
– TXM1.8X-ML: As TXM1.8X, but with additional local override facility
with LCD display (LO/ID to ISO 16 484-2)
• 8 universal I/O points, individually configurable as
– Digital input: maintained contact, pulse or counter
– Analog input: sensor, 0..10V, 4..20mA
– Analog output: 0..10V, 4..20mA (I/O points 5 ... 8)
• Compact DIN format, small footprint
• Separate terminal base and plug-in I/O module for convenient handling
– Self-establishing bus connection for maximum ease of installation
– Terminal isolation function for fast commissioning
– I/O module replaceable in seconds, without rewiring and without affecting
the full functioning of the remaining I/O modules
• All terminals are directly on the I/O modules, allowing direct connection of
field devices without additional terminal strips.
• Simple strategy for operation and display
– I/O status LED for each I/O point; mode of operation (N/C or N/O) and
brightness depend on I/O function
– LEDs and LCD for fast diagnostics
• Double-sided labels for identification of all I/O points

I/O status LEDs • The I/O status LEDs (green) indicate the status of the inputs and outputs (peripheral
devices)
• They are also used for diagnostics

Module status LED • The module status LED illuminates the transparent address key
• The LED (green) shows the module status as a whole (as opposed to the status of
the I/O points)
• It is also used for diagnostics

Address key • The module operates only with the address key inserted
• The module address is mechanically encoded in the address key
• When replacing the I/O module, the address key must be swiveled outward. It
remains plugged into in the terminal base.

Local override and LCD display (TXM1.8X-ML only)

For a detailed description, please refer to document CM110561, "TX-I/O™ Functions

and operation".

Override button • Pressing an button in the middle enables or disables the local override
• Pressing "+" or "–" respectively increases or reduces the output value.
• Only outputs can be overwritten. Any attempt to overwrite an input results in an error
indication.

Override status LED • The yellow "Override" LED indicates that local override is active

LCD display • The following information is displayed for each I/O point:
– Configured signal type
– Symbolic display of process value
– Information for diagnostics.
• All safety-relevant functions must be implemented with external solutions
Warning • The local override must not be used for safety shutdown operations
• In compliance with the standard (ISO 16 484-2, Section 3.110), the module
executes all local overrides directly, without safety precautions or interlocks.
 Full responsibility lies with the operator. 

Module labeling

The plug-in I/O module has a removable transparent cover (the label holder) for
insertion of a label.

1)
All measuring / system neutral terminals are interconnected, not in the terminal base
but in the plug-in I/O module. When this unit is pulled outward (into the "parking"
position) there is no connection.
– The system neutral of a digital input can be connected to any system neutral
terminal
– With analog inputs and outputs, the measuring / system neutral must always be
connected to the terminal associated with that I/O point.
2)
All AC/DC 24V supply terminals are interconnected
(in the I/O module, not in the terminal base).
They are protected in the power supply module / bus connection module (T10A).
Caution! Wiring of the AC 24/DC V supply (terminals 7, 15, 24, 32):
Use cable cross section suited for 10 A according to local regulations.
3)
All DC 24 V supply terminals are interconnected.
They are protected in the module against shortcut and incorrect wiring.

For wiring details refer to the TX-I/O™ Engineering and installation manual, CM110562.
