Presentation
SoMachine Basic programming software is a user-friendly tool designed to develop
projects on Modicon M221 or Modicon M221 Book logic controllers. It can convert
applications created on TwidoSuite and TwidoSoft.
bSoMachine Basic is organized according to the project development cycle:
navigation of the software is easy and intuitive.
bSoMachine Basic offers a modern interface, so that getting started is:
vUser-friendly and fast: The simplied interface helps you nd the information you
need in two or three clicks maximum
vEfcient, due to functions available
bSoMachine Basic creates an operator interface for TMH2GDB remote graphic
display TMH2GDB
Connecting a PC to the controller
There are several ways of connecting a PC to Modicon M221 logic controllers
during the programming, debugging and maintenance phases.
bLink via connection cables
The PC is connected to the M221 controllers via the USB-B port, using cable
TCSXCNAMUM3P (mini-USB to USB).
bLink via modem or routeur
Modems can reduce the frequency of on-site visits for certain maintenance
operations.
vModem connected to the M221 logic controller must be declared in the hardware
conguration. It will be initialized by the controller automatically (Hayes
initialization string).
vAt the PC end, the SoMachine Basic software will associate a special modem
connection that will be memorized in the project (including the telephone number
to use).
bEthernet network link
With their integral Ethernet port, logic controllers TM221ppEpp can be connected
to a PC using the Ethernet network and the Modbus TCP/IP protocol.
bBluetooth® wireless link
The Bluetooth® wireless link enables complete freedom of movement within a
radius of 10 m around the controller.
Schneider Electric offers Bluetooth® wireless adaptors both for the controller side
and PC side. Please consult on our website, www.schneider-electric.com.

Functions
Position control
SoMachine Basic provides three positioning software functions for the M221 logic
controllers. For example, they can be used for stepper motors.
bPLS function
The PLS function block generates xed ratio pulses. In some cases, the frequency
can be xed and in others it is variable (as in control of slopes when driving a
stepper motor). The %PLS function block can be programmed to generate a
specic number of pulses.
The %PLS function blocks are assigned to the %Q0.0 or %Q0.1 outputs of the
M221 controllers.
The pulse generator signal has a variable period, but with a constant duty cycle
which establishes an ON to OFF ratio of 50% of the period.
bPWM function
The PWM function block generates pulses of xed frequency, with a variable ON to
OFF ratio for the output signal. The ON to OFF duration ratio is a dynamic variable
called %PWM.R, with a range from 1% to 100%.
The PWM function blocks are assigned to the %Q0.0 or %Q0.1 outputs on a
controller.
The %PWM function block, dened by the user, generates a signal on output
%Q0.0 or %Q0.1 of the M221 controller.
bPTO function
The PTO function enables position control by pulse train - pulse/direction (P/D) or
CW/CCW signals, depending on the type of servo drive.
These pulses are generated on outputs %Q0.0 and %Q0.1 of the Modicon M221
logic controller.
Event processing
Event management by the application.
bSource types:
vEvents on embedded inputs
vThreshold events on the high speed counter (HSC)
vPeriodic event (Timer)
bEach event executes a single subroutine of the program.
Process control (PID)
b14 PID programming loops.
bAuto-tuning algorithm.
bAnalog/PWM output.
bLinear conversion of measurement input.
b2 alarm levels (high and low) on the measurement.
bControl output limits.
bDirect and Inverse action.

Project management
The software’s project management functionality lets you browse through existing
projects quickly to gather the relevant information without needing to open each
project individually.
There are several ways of creating a new project: using tested, validated,
documented architectures, using the examples provided, using an existing project,
or starting with an empty project. There is quick access to the most recently used
projects.
You can also create a project from a standard project taking advantage of a
precongured program (task, library, etc.).
Project properties
You can dene additional information for each project using simple forms. It is also
possible to attach documents and custom or conguration pictures. The software
also supports automatic versioning.
Conguration
The user interface allows you to congure devices and architectures in a
hierarchical order.
The various elements of the conguration can be easily assembled by selecting from
a device “catalog” (controllers, expansion modules, etc.) with a simple drag & drop.
The catalog can be searched and ltered as required.
Device templates are available to easily add precongured equipment.
Programming and debugging
Programming is an essential step, and the user has to carefully design it to be as
efcient as possible. Advanced control and HMI functions cover all the needs of
Machine builders in terms of creating the control and visualization systems.
Powerful tools allow debugging and functional tests such as simulation, step-by-step
execution, breakpoints, and traces.
Documentation
SoMachine allows you to customize and generate a project report for printing:
- Select the items to be included in the report
- Organize the sections
- Dene the page layout
- Print the report
Transparency
SoMachine is an FDT (Field Device Tool) container and supports DTM (Device Type
Manager) les.
SoMachine manages remote devices via DTM les, providing direct communication
with each device. Communication is transparent via SoMachine, the controller, and
the eldbus (Modbus Serial Line, Modbus TCP, CANopen, and CANmotion).
SoMachine also supports FDT/DTM connections directly from the PC to the devices
via Modbus Serial Line or Modbus TCP.
Application Function Block (AFB) libraries for dedicated
solutions
SoMachine includes application function block libraries for selected machines. Their
simple conguration speeds up design, commissioning, installation, and
troubleshooting.
These libraries cover the following applications:
bPackaging
bHoisting
bConveying
bPumping
Tested Validated Documented Architectures (TVDA)
SoMachine provides a variety of preset projects with ready-to-use architectures you
can adapt to individual requirements. Some of them are generic TVDA based on
controller congurations. Others can be dedicated to specic solutions by
application-oriented TVDAs.
