Schneider Electric TM241CEC24T Modicon M241 24 I/O Transistor Ethernet CANopen Programmable Logic Controller

The Schneider Electric TM241CEC24T is a Modicon M241 logic controller with 24 discrete I/O - 14 inputs (8 fast) and 10 PNP transistor outputs (4 fast) - running from a 24 V DC supply. It adds embedded Ethernet (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP) and a CANopen master port alongside USB and dual RS232/RS485 serial links.

Selection Notes

The TM241CEC24T combines an embedded Ethernet port with a CANopen master port, so it fits machines needing both a plant-network connection (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP) and a CANopen fieldbus for distributed drives or I/O in the same controller. Its 10 PNP transistor outputs (4 fast, up to 100 kHz PLS) suit sinking-logic field wiring and basic pulse-train positioning, and the CANopen port runs up to 1000 kbit/s over short distances or down to 20 kbit/s over 2500 m, so network speed can be traded for cable run length as the machine layout requires.

Applications

Compact-machine automation combining plant-network connectivity and a CANopen fieldbus - multi-axis packaging or material-handling machines where distributed drives or remote I/O communicate over CANopen while the controller reports to a plant SCADA or MES over Ethernet.
