1Solution Overview
1.1 Solution description
Autonics TM4 device from the TM series is a multi-channel PID temperature controller, capable of
controlling various type of power controllers thanks to its build-in SSR driver or relay output and
simultaneously controlling up to 4 elements, (up to 2 elements for the TM2 type). It has also build-in serial
Modbus connection through RS-485 pins.
Thanks to its characteristic, the TM device can be added in any existing automation architecture with
Modbus connection and device parameters or statuses, values limits and Present Value can be
monitored or set, allowing remote access to key-data.
This solution brings the following benefits to your current installation:
Allows to monitor in real time several TM devices status and feedback values
Allows settings of several TM devices parameters like setting values or PID parameters from only
1 device
Allows data exchange between different device types

2TM4 Communication Settings
Devices from the TM series do not have graphic interface; To change the devices’ settings, we need
to use the device management program from Autonics: DAQMaster.
Set the desired Modbus address thanks to the ‘Communication address’ switches, this address 1st should be unique on the network:
Connect the TM device to DAQMaster2nd
Please follow the procedure in annex part of this document to connect a TM device to the DAQMaster
program and have access to its parameters.
In the DAQ Master ‘Property’ window, set the parameters of the ‘Communication Setting’ group 3rd as following:

4.1 Solution overview
4.1.1 Communication objective
In this example, we will access the TM registers from the XGT PLC to:
Read:
The present values measured by the temperature controller for CH1 and CH2
The unit settings for CH1 and CH2
Write:
The setting values of the temperature controller for CH1 and CH2
The activation flag of the Auto-Tuning function for CH1 and CH2
