The Schneider TM200C16U offers advanced automation capabilities in a compact design, making it a reliable member of the M200 PLC series. Operating on a stable 24 V DC supply with voltage limits between 20.4–28.8 V, it ensures flexibility in power environments. The controller delivers precise control with 7 transistor outputs, including 2 fast outputs (Q0–Q1) supporting PWM, PLS, and PTO modes at up to 100 kHz frequency—ideal for applications like motor control and high-speed pulse generation. It features a discrete input voltage of 24 V and draws 7 mA input current for stable signal processing.

This PLC is engineered to handle demanding loads, with a maximum discrete output current of 0.5 A per channel and a combined output common limit of 3.5 A. The device is protected against overload and short-circuit conditions at 3.8 A, while an inrush current tolerance of 35 A ensures safe power-up during peak loads. Its internal 512-byte flash memory stores up to 10,000 instructions, supporting fast logic execution in industrial workflows. It also supports USB 2.0 for programming and diagnostics, and Modbus RTU/ASCII via RS232/RS485 for seamless industrial network integration.

Tested for industrial environments, the TM200C16U operates efficiently between 0°C to 55°C, with storage support up to 70°C. Its compact dimensions (110 mm wide, 70 mm deep) and removable screw terminal blocks simplify installation in control panels. As part of Schneider Electric’s globally trusted automation lineup, this model ensures consistent, safe, and scalable performance.
