Connecting to an HMI Device
Overview
This section describes how to connect the LTMR controller to an HMI device, such as a Magelis XBT or a TeSys T LTMCU, or to a PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM. The HMI device must be connected to the RJ45 port on the LTMR controller, or to the HMI interface port (RJ45) on the LTME expansion module.
The Magelis XBT HMI device must be powered separately. Connect it to a controller in one-to-many mode.
Wiring Rules
The wiring rules must be respected in order to reduce disturbance on the behavior of the LTMR controller due to EMC.
The exhaustive list of wiring rules is described in the general recommendations.

Connecting to a PC Running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM in One-to-One Mode Using the HMI Port
The diagrams below show a one-to-one connection from a PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM to the HMI port of the LTMR controller, with and without the LTME expansion module and the LTMCU:

1 PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM
2 TCSMCNAM3M0 Modbus USB/RJ45 cable
3 LTMR controller
4 LTME expansion module
Connecting to a PC Running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM in One-to-One Mode Using One LTMR Ethernet Network Port
The diagrams below show a one-to-one connection from a PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM to one of the two network ports of the LTMR Ethernet controller, with and without the LTME expansion module and the LTMCU:

1 PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM
2 Cat 5 shielded or unshielded twisted pair Ethernet cable
3 LTMR Ethernet controller
4 LTME expansion module

1 PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM
2 Cat 5 shielded or unshielded twisted pair Ethernet cable
3 LTMR Ethernet controller
4 LTME expansion module
5 LTMCU Control Operator Unit
6 Grounding collar
7 LTM9CU•• HMI device connection cable
When the LTMCU is connected to a PC, the LTMCU becomes passive and cannot be used to visualize information.
