Schneider Electric TM221CE24T PLC Controller

Schneider Electric TM221CE24T is a compact Modicon M221 logic controller with 24 I/O points and integrated Ethernet, designed for straightforward machine control and small automation tasks. The device is powered from 24 V DC and typically draws up to 0.58 A, making it suitable for panel installations in compact equipment, and it provides transistor outputs (PNP) for direct drive of actuators. It features a single Ethernet port (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) for programming and field communication, enabling easy networked control and status monitoring. The enclosure is IP20 when used with the protective cover, offering protection from dust and incidental contact in typical workshop environments. As part of the Modicon M221 family, TM221CE24T supports standard IEC 61131-3 programming and integrates with Schneider Electric's automation ecosystem, while complying with safety standards such as UL 508 and CAN/CSA C22.2. This combination of a small footprint, 24 V DC logic, and network reach makes it well-suited for standalone control of small machines, conveyors, or as a compact I/O node within a larger control scheme.
