Twido Overview

About Twido

Introduction
The Twido controller is available in the two following models:
z Compact Bases
z Modular Bases
Compact bases are available with 10, 16, 24 or 40 I/Os.
Modular bases are available with either 20 or 40 I/Os.
Additional I/O can be added to the bases using expansion I/O modules. They are:
z 15 expansion modules for discrete I/O or relay type
z 10 expansion modules for the analog I/O type
There are also several options that can be added to the bases as in the table from
the Base Options (see page 16) paragraph below.
In addition to these options, other options listed below can be added:
z Programming cables (see page 17)
z Discrete I/O cables
z Telefast pre-wired systems with I/O interfaces (see page 158)

Connection to Communication Modules

Connecting to an AS-Interface bus interface module also permits you to manage up
to 62 slave devices. Use the following module:
z AS-Interface V2 bus interface master module: TWDNOI10M3.
The 24 I/O and 40 I/O compact bases and all modular bases can connect to a
CANopen fieldbus interface module. The CANopen master module permits you to
manage up to 16 CANopen slave devices (not to exceed 16 Transmit-PDOs (TPDO)
and 16 Receive-PDOs (RPDO)). Use the following module:
z CANopen fieldbus interface master module: TWDNCO1M.

Advanced Features for TWDLC••40DRF Compact Bases

Advanced integrated features are provided on the TWDLC••40DRF series compact
bases:
z Built-in 100Base-TX Ethernet network port: TWDLCAE40DRF and
TWDLCDE40DRF only
z Onboard Real-Time Clock (RTC): TWDLC••40DRF
z A fourth Fast Counter (FC):TWDLC••40DRF
z External battery support:TWDLC••40DRF
