TM241CEC24T

The Schneider TM241CEC24T Logic Controller is a compact and versatile control solution designed to meet the demands of various automation applications. This controller is part of the Modicon M241 range and is engineered to deliver high performance in a small footprint, making it suitable for space-constrained environments.

Equipped with 24 V DC rated supply voltage, the TM241CEC24T features 14 discrete inputs, including 8 fast inputs conforming to IEC 61131-2 Type 1 standards, and 10 transistor outputs with 4 fast outputs, providing ample connectivity for a wide array of sensors and actuators. The discrete output voltage is 24 V DC for transistor outputs, ensuring compatibility with common industrial devices.

The controller offers a discrete I/O number of 24 and can be expanded with up to 7 modules in a local I/O architecture or 14 modules in a remote I/O architecture, allowing for flexible system configuration and scalability. The inrush current is limited to 50 A, and the power consumption ranges between 32.6 to 40.4 W with the maximum number of I/O expansion modules connected.

For precise control, the TM241CEC24T boasts configurable filtering times for inputs and outputs, with fast input response times of less than 2 µs, ensuring swift and accurate processing of signals. The discrete output logic operates on positive logic (source), with output voltage limits up to 30 V DC and a maximum output frequency of 100 kHz for fast outputs in PLS mode.

The controller's memory capacity includes 8 MB for program storage and 64 MB for system memory RAM, with data backup provided by 128 MB of built-in flash memory. An optional SD card of up to 32 GB can be used for additional data storage.

A real-time clock is integrated into the unit, with a clock drift of less than 60 seconds per month at 25 °C, ensuring accurate timing for all operations. Positioning functions are also included, with PWM/PTO function for 4 channels at a positioning frequency of 100 kHz.

Connectivity options are comprehensive, featuring a USB port with a mini B USB 2.0 connector, an Ethernet port with RJ45 connector, two non-isolated serial links with RS232/RS485 interfaces, and a CANopen port with a male SUB-D 9 connector. The communication services supported include FTP server, SNMP, DHCP client, Ethernet/IP adapter, Modbus TCP server and client, and more.
