TM221CE40T Modicon M221 40 I/O Transistor PNP Ethernet Logic Controller | Schneider Electric

The Original New Schneider Electric TM221CE40T Modicon M221 Logic Controller is a compact, high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) designed for basic to advanced machine control applications requiring high-speed output switching. Part of the Modicon M221 range, this nano PLC provides 40 discrete I/O points (24 inputs and 16 transistor PNP outputs) and integrates Ethernet, USB, and serial communication ports. Featuring a built‑in 256 KB memory and supporting up to 7 local or 14 remote TM3 expansion I/O modules, the TM221CE40T offers a scalable solution for industrial automation systems. Configured via the free SoMachine Basic software, it delivers benchmark performance with fast transistor outputs for demanding machine control applications.
