The Schneider TM241CE40T delivers exceptional automation performance through a robust Modicon M241 architecture. Supporting up to 24 discrete inputs (including 8 fast inputs) and 16 transistor outputs (4 of which are fast outputs), it enables rapid signal response for high-speed machine applications. Operating at a supply voltage of 20.4 to 28.8 V, with a power consumption range between 32.6 to 40.4 W, the controller ensures both efficiency and flexibility, even when fully expanded to its maximum of 7 local or 14 remote I/O modules. The output voltage is limited to 30 V DC, and it supports positive logic (source) output control, with reliable overload and short-circuit protection mechanisms.
This PLC features integrated Modbus master/slave support and a variety of communication options, including USB, RS232/RS485, and Ethernet at 10/100 Mbps, providing seamless integration into modern control systems. Built for rugged industrial conditions, the TM241CE40T handles shock resistance up to 15 gn, operates across altitudes of 0 to 2000 m, and tolerates storage temperatures down to -25°C. The fast input/output response times (as low as 2 µs) make it an excellent choice for real-time control environments.
