Product Overview
The Schneider TM5ACLPR1 is a right-side bus base locking plate for the Modicon TM5 modular I/O system. It is installed at the rightmost slice of a TM5 configuration to cover exposed bus contacts and help protect the system during installation and maintenance.
In a machine control cabinet, TM5 bus bases and electronic modules are assembled side by side to form an I/O system. The last module on the right leaves an exposed end of the bus arrangement, where the appropriate locking plate is required. The TM5ACLPR1 provides this end protection without occupying an additional I/O position or performing an electronic signal-processing function.
For example, a packaging machine may use several TM5 digital input, digital output, and analog modules to connect photoelectric sensors, pneumatic valves, and process instruments. Once the required modules have been assembled, the TM5ACLPR1 is fitted to the rightmost slice to protect the exposed bus contacts. The same principle applies to compatible local and remote TM5 configurations.
The locking plate is a mechanical accessory rather than an I/O module. It does not acquire field signals, distribute control commands, or provide communication between the controller and expansion modules. Its purpose is to complete the physical end of the TM5 assembly and help reduce the risk of electrostatic-discharge damage during installation.
When expanding an existing TM5 system or replacing a missing plate, check the position of the rightmost slice and the locking arrangement of the bus base. The right-side plate is used at the right end of the configuration, while the left-side version serves a different position in applicable remote configurations.

Working Principle
The TM5ACLPR1 provides physical protection at the open right end of a TM5 I/O assembly. Its function is based on its position and mechanical engagement with the bus base arrangement, rather than on electrical signal processing.
TM5 Controller / I/O Modules → Rightmost Bus Base → TM5ACLPR1 Locking Plate
During assembly, the bus bases and electronic modules are arranged according to the machine’s I/O layout. The locking plate is fitted at the rightmost slice, covering the exposed end of the bus arrangement. This reduces the chance of accidental contact with the exposed bus contacts during installation and servicing.
Consider a machine that requires an additional digital output module after commissioning. To expand the system, the existing right-side plate must be removed, the additional modules installed in the planned arrangement, and the plate fitted again at the new rightmost slice. Leaving the plate at the old position would no longer protect the end of the completed configuration.
The TM5ACLPR1 does not replace the bus base, electronic module locking clip, or terminal block. Each component has a separate mechanical role in the assembled slice. The locking plate protects the end of the overall bus arrangement, while the other components retain and connect the individual modules.
Role in a Modicon TM5 Modular I/O Architecture
The TM5ACLPR1 occupies the right-end protection position in a modular TM5 assembly. Although it does not participate in controller communication or signal acquisition, its placement is part of completing the physical I/O arrangement.
Controller / TM5 I/O Slices → Rightmost Slice → TM5ACLPR1
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| TM5ACLPR1 | Covers exposed bus contacts at the rightmost slice |
| TM5 Controller | Executes the control program and manages supported I/O |
| TM5 Bus Base | Supports the electronic module and carries the TM5 bus connections |
| TM5 Electronic Module | Performs the assigned input, output, or other module function |
| TM5 Terminal Block | Provides field wiring connections for the associated module |
| Electronic Module Locking Clip | Helps secure the electronic module to its bus base |
| Terminal Locking Clip | Helps retain the terminal block where applicable |
| TM5ACLPL Left Locking Plate | Protects the left end of applicable remote TM5 configurations |
The right locking plate must remain at the rightmost slice after any system expansion. In remote configurations, the corresponding left locking plate is installed at the first slice where required.
Industrial Applications
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Packaging Machinery | Protecting the exposed end of TM5 I/O assemblies in machine control cabinets |

| Maintenance and Repair | Replacing a missing or damaged locking plate during inspection and service |
Installation and Maintenance
- Confirm the complete TM5ACLPR1 reference and verify that a right-side locking plate is required for the intended installation.
- Identify the rightmost slice of the assembled TM5 configuration. The plate belongs at the far-right end, not between active I/O modules.
- Before installing or removing the accessory, follow the equipment’s electrical safety procedure and disconnect power where required.
- If the terminal block obstructs access to the bus base interlocking guides, remove it according to the applicable TM5 installation procedure.
- Position the locking plate at the right end of the bus base arrangement.
- Insert the plate into the designated interlocking guides from the front and push it fully into position.
- Reinstall the terminal block if it was removed, ensuring that it is correctly seated and secured.
- Inspect the completed assembly to confirm that the plate is firmly fitted and that the rightmost bus contacts are protected.
- When adding expansion modules, remove the existing right plate before extending the configuration and reinstall it at the new rightmost slice.
- During routine maintenance, check for a missing plate, damaged retaining features, or incorrect placement following previous modifications.
- Confirm that the appropriate left locking plate is installed at the first slice of remote configurations where required.
- Record changes to the TM5 module arrangement so future maintenance personnel can identify the correct end positions.
The controller is supplied with a right bus base locking plate in the documented TM5 configuration. During replacement or expansion, verify that the completed assembly has the required end protection rather than assuming an additional plate is always needed.

Technical FAQs
Where should the TM5ACLPR1 be installed?
The TM5ACLPR1 must be fitted to the rightmost slice of the applicable TM5 configuration. If additional modules are added, the plate must be moved to the new rightmost slice.
What is the difference between the right and left TM5 bus base locking plates?
The right locking plate protects the exposed bus contacts at the right end of a configuration. The left locking plate is used at the first slice of applicable remote configurations. The two versions serve different installation positions.
Does the TM5ACLPR1 carry I/O signals or provide electrical communication?
No. It is a mechanical protective accessory, not an electronic I/O or communication module. Its purpose is to cover the exposed end of the TM5 bus arrangement.
What should be checked if the locking plate is missing during maintenance?
Check the rightmost slice and the condition of the bus base interlocking guides, then install the correct right-side plate according to the TM5 installation procedure. Also inspect the assembly for exposed contacts and ensure that any terminal block removed during installation is properly refitted.
