Modicon TM3 I/0 system - your choice for flexible and customizable expansion of I/O terminals!
The specially developed Modicon TM3 I/O system enables flexible and customizable expansion of the I/O terminals in all of the controllers. Up to 14 terminals can be added to the controllers without tools. When the terminals are plugged in, their contacts are electrically linked to both the controller and the adjacent terminal. This high-speed expansion bus is 10 times faster than traditional solutions.

The Modicon TM3 offer provides a large range of I/O systems to enhance the capabilities of Modicon M221, M241, M251 logic controllers:

  • Digital I/O modules which can be used to create configurations with up to 264 digital I/O.
  • Analog I/O modules which can be used to create configurations with up to 114 analog I/O and are designed to receive, amongst other things, position, temperature or speed sensor signals.
  • Expert modules for the control of TeSys motor starters which simplify wiring up the control section due to connection with RJ45 cables.
  • Functional Safety modules which simplify wiring and can be configured in the SoMachine Basic software.

In addition, the Modicon TM3 expansion system is flexible due to the possibility of remotely locating some of the Modicon TM3 modules in the enclosure or another cabinet (up to 5 meters away, using a bus expansion system. It is common to the whole range of Modicon M221, M241 and M251 logic controllers, meaning that the model of controller can be revised without changing expansion module.
