TM241CE40R Modicon M241 40 I/O Relay Logic Controller Ethernet | Schneider Electric

The Original New Schneider Electric TM241CE40R Modicon M241 Logic Controller is a compact, high-performance programmable logic controller designed for machine control and OEM applications. It integrates 40 I/O points with 24 digital inputs (including 8 fast inputs), 4 fast transistor outputs, and 12 relay outputs (2 A). Built-in Ethernet and dual serial ports provide flexible connectivity for system integration and remote access. Programmed with EcoStruxure Machine Expert software (formerly SoMachine), it is ideal for packaging, material handling, and general industrial automation.
