Product Description – Schneider TM241CE24T PLC

The Schneider TM241CE24T is a high-performance Modicon M241 programmable logic controller designed for demanding compact machine automation. It provides 24 I/O points, including 14 standard digital inputs and 10 transistor outputs, delivering fast and precise control for solenoids, actuators, and stepper or servo drives. Moreover, the integrated Ethernet port and multiple serial interfaces enable seamless communication across industrial networks.

This PLC supports high-speed counters (HSC), pulse train outputs (PTO), and PWM signals for advanced motion control applications. Therefore, it is ideal for packaging machines, conveyor systems, HVAC units, pumping stations, and other small to medium automation systems. Its organized display interface and battery backup simplify programming, diagnostics, and uninterrupted operation. The DIN-rail mounting and IP20-rated housing ensure robust industrial installation.
