Programmable Logic Controller Guide: Selection, Application, and Maintenance for Engineers
PLC selection guide for engineers covering IEC 61131 compliance, Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB comparison, scan time sizing, and wiring. Shop at Stoklink.
The Schneider Electric TMC2AQ2C is a Modicon M221 analog output cartridge that adds 2 current outputs (4-20 mA) at 12-bit resolution to a Modicon M221C logic controller, driving loads up to 500 ohms through 2 screw terminal blocks without external wiring. Absolute accuracy is 0.3% of full scale at 25 degrees C, with a 20 ms conversion time and 40 ms stabilisation time per channel.
Use the TMC2AQ2C for 4-20 mA current control signals, such as a VFD speed reference or valve positioner input. A companion voltage-output cartridge in the same M221 range covers 0-10 V signals instead, for receiving devices that need voltage rather than current.
