The Schneider TM241CE40R is engineered to meet modern industrial control needs with its dual relay and transistor outputs. Supporting both sink and source input logic, this Modicon M241 PLC handles 24 discrete inputs (including 8 fast inputs) and delivers outputs across 12 relays and 4 fast transistor channels. It operates at 24 V DC input voltage, with output voltage limits reaching 30 V DC for transistor and up to 277 V AC for relay channels. Ideal for harsh environments, the TM241CE40R maintains performance across altitudes up to 2000 m and storage up to 3000 m.
The controller supports seamless integration via Modbus master/slave over RS232, RS485, Ethernet, and USB, with a compact 95 mm depth for tight enclosures. It is built with protection mechanisms such as short-circuit and overload protection (transistor outputs) and reverse polarity protection, ensuring operational reliability. The unit is rated for -25 to 70 °C storage temperature and conforms to IEC 61131-2 Type 1 input standards, making it a trusted choice for scalable automation systems.
