Schneider Electric TM241C40T Modicon M241 40 I/O 24DI 16DO Transistor PNP Programmable Logic Controller

The Schneider Electric TM241C40T is a Modicon M241 logic controller with 40 discrete I/O - 24 inputs (8 fast) and 16 PNP transistor outputs (4 fast) - running from a 24 V DC supply. It provides USB, RS232/RS485, and a second RS485 serial port for compact machine control programmed in EcoStruxure Machine Expert.

Selection Notes

The TM241C40T's 40-point I/O count (24 DI / 16 DO) and PNP transistor outputs suit compact machines needing more onboard I/O than smaller M241 base units provide without adding expansion modules, while still leaving 7 local expansion slots for further growth. Its 4 fast inputs (200 kHz HSC) and 4 fast transistor outputs (100 kHz PTO/PLS) support closed-loop positioning on up to 4 axes directly from the base unit, which relay-output M241 variants cannot match at the same speed. Marine specification certification (LR, ABS, DNV, GL) makes it a fit for shipboard control panels needing that class approval.

Applications

Compact-machine automation requiring integrated speed and position control - packaging, material handling, and general machine-control panels using DIN-rail mounting and EcoStruxure Machine Expert programming.
