Controller RJ45, Ethernet, CANopen, 14 inputs, 4 PNP outputs, 6 relay outputs, 100...240 VAC TM241CEC24R

Modicon M241 series programmable controllers are compact and efficient solutions for industrial automation. The TM241CEC24R model stands out for its versatility, offering a wide range of communication interfaces and a large number of inputs/outputs, making it an ideal choice for both simple and more complex applications.

This controller combines the functionality of a PLC controller with Ethernet, CANopen communication capabilities, and serial interfaces RS-232 and RS-485. This makes it easy to integrate with various automation systems and external devices. It has 14 digital inputs, 4 PNP transistor outputs, and 6 relay outputs, allowing control of a wide spectrum of devices and processes. A 64000 kByte NVRAM memory ensures storage of the program and data even in the event of a power failure.

Versatility and communication

The TM241CEC24R controller supports TCP/IP, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP protocols, making it easier to integrate with existing network infrastructure. In addition, the presence of a CANopen interface enables communication with devices using this standard. Two RS-232 and RS-485 ports provide flexibility in connecting serial devices. The built-in USB port is used for programming and configuring the controller. The ability to expand program memory allows the controller to be adapted to specific application requirements. DIN rail mounting simplifies installation in control cabinets.

Applications and benefits

The TM241CEC24R controller finds application in many areas of industry, such as:

• Building automation – control of lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
• Industrial automation – control of machines and production processes.
• Monitoring and visualization systems – collecting data from sensors and presenting it on operator panels.
• Safety systems – implementation of safety functions in accordance with ISO 13849-1 standards (no PL safety level).

Thanks to its compact size (150 mm x 90 mm x 95 mm), the controller takes up little space in the control cabinet. Power supply in the range of 100...240 VAC ensures compatibility with different electrical networks. Fast processing time (0.022 ms for 1k binary operations) guarantees responsive system operation.
