Schneider Electric TM241CE40T Modicon M241 Logic Controller
The Schneider Electric TM241CE40T is a compact programmable logic controller (PLC) within the Modicon M241 series, built for high-performance machine automation and motion control. It features 40 integrated digital I/O points—comprising 24 digital inputs and 16 PNP transistor outputs—along with built-in Ethernet, dual serial channels, and high-speed counting and pulse output capabilities.
High-Speed I/O and Motion Control Capabilities
The controller incorporates 8 fast inputs capable of handling pulse/direction and A/B high-speed counter (HSC) signals up to 200 kHz. Its output section includes 4 fast transistor outputs supporting pulse train output (PTO) modes up to 100 kHz for precise stepper or servo motion control, while 12 standard PNP transistor outputs provide 0.5 A switching for general control loads.
Integrated Communications and Expansion Options
Connectivity includes an RJ45 Ethernet port supporting Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP, an RJ45 RS-232/RS-485 serial port, an RS-485 removable terminal block serial port, and a mini-B USB 2.0 port for programming. Configured via EcoStruxure Machine Expert, the base CPU supports local expansion of up to 7 TM3 I/O modules and remote expansion of up to 14 modules, alongside an onboard SD card slot for data storage and firmware management.
