Compact expansion module 24VDC 24DI/18DO TM5C24D18T

I/O Expansion Module – compact, 24 inputs / 18 outputs

This I/O expansion module from the Modicon TM5 series by Schneider Electric expands the capabilities of automation systems. Designed to operate with 24V DC, it offers 24 digital inputs and 18 digital outputs, providing flexibility in configuring and expanding control systems. The compact design (width 12.5 mm, height 99 mm, depth 75 mm) allows for mounting in limited space. The module is ideal for applications in production machines, packaging and material handling systems, where scalability and reliability are required.

Functionality and application

The TM5C24D18T module is an element of the modular Modicon TM5 I/O system, which enables the creation of distributed signal islands. This makes it possible to effectively collect data from various sensors and control actuators in extensive installations. Using the module allows for easy adaptation of the system to changing production needs. Input signals are of the "sink" type, and output signals are of the "source" type, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. The signal change delay is only 0.1 ms, guaranteeing a fast system response to changes in input and output status.

Characteristics and benefits

• Compact dimensions: Allow mounting in tight spaces without compromising functionality.
• Configuration flexibility: The module is part of a modular system, allowing easy adaptation to specific application requirements.
• High reliability: Ensured by the renowned manufacturer – Schneider Electric – and GOST-R, C-Tick, cULus and CSA certificates.
• Fast response: A switching delay of 0.1 ms minimizes the control system's response time.
• Easy installation: The module is mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail, making installation and servicing easier.
• Galvanic isolation: Provides 500Vrms AC isolation between channels and the system bus, increasing safety and interference resistance.
• LED indicators: Built-in LEDs indicate the power status and status of individual inputs and outputs, facilitating system diagnostics.
• Low energy consumption: Power consumption of only 1.1 W minimizes the operating costs of the automation system.
• Safety: Safety level SIL according to IEC 61508 is 1 - provides a basic level of functional safety for critical applications.

The TM5C24D18T module is a solid solution for professionals involved in industrial automation and for installers looking for reliable components for building modern control systems. Its versatility makes it applicable in many industrial sectors, from production to logistics.
