Remote graphic display unit for Modicon M221 and
M221 Book logic controllers

TMH2GDB remote graphic display unit (continued)


Installation and setup
The TMH2GDB remote graphic display unit is mounted in a 22 mm (0.87 in.)
diameter hole and is connected to the SL or SL1 serial link on Modicon M221 and
M221 Book logic controllers with the XBTZ9980 and VW3A1104R10 cable, which
also supplies it with power (no other Modbus slave equipment must be connected
Debugging: Controller information on this link) (1).

The debug screens, including those for setting the time and configuring the
communication ports, are already configured and available as soon as the display
unit is connected to the logic controller (2).

The HMI (runtime) pages and alarm pages are created and configured very easily
in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic programming software, from
predefined pages:
Debugging: Configuring communication - “Alarm displayˮ template
- “Menuˮ template
- “Monitoringˮ template
- “Control panelˮ template
- “Bargraph” template (1 or 2 bars)
- “Gageˮ template

HMI: Monitoring These pages constitute part of the controller application. They are transferred to
and stored in the M221 and M221 Book logic controller memory, no transfer is
necessary between the PC and the TMH2GDB graphic display unit. The latter is
operational as soon as it is connected to the serial port on the logic controller.

The Home page can be selected by programming. Each HMI and alarm page can
be displayed by navigating the front panel using the keys or called by a program.
Alarm pages can also be displayed on a red background.
HMI: Control panel The HMI pages can be created in several languages, the language displayed on
the graphic display unit can then be selected by the operator in the display
configuration menu.

(1) Neither the serial link on the TMC2SL1 cartridge, nor the SL2 embedded serial link, can be
used to connect the graphic display unit.
(2) When the controller has no application program, only the product reference and the controller
firmware version are accessible. The controller firmware version must be V1.3 or later.
