Product Overview

The Schneider TM241CE24U is a Modicon M241 machine logic controller with 24 embedded digital I/O points, including 14 digital inputs and 10 NPN transistor outputs. It operates from a 24 VDC power supply and includes embedded Ethernet communication.

The U suffix identifies an NPN sinking-output configuration. This output architecture is used in machines designed around sink logic and must not be confused with the PNP sourcing-output TM241CE24T.

The controller is suitable for high-speed machine applications requiring Ethernet, serial communication, scalable TM3 expansion and supported pulse or counting functions.

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

The TM241CE24U is suitable for packaging machinery, assembly equipment, conveyors, material-handling systems, positioning machines and automated equipment using NPN sink-output wiring.

The output common, field-device polarity, load current, leakage current and protective components must match the NPN output architecture.

For pulse-control applications, confirm the pulse frequency, direction signal, drive interface and common-voltage arrangement before commissioning.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

Verify that the installed controller is TM241CE24U. TM241CE24T uses PNP sourcing outputs and cannot be substituted without checking and potentially modifying the field wiring.

TM241CE24R uses relay outputs and a 100–240 VAC controller power supply. It is electrically different from the U transistor version.

Back up the EcoStruxure Machine Expert project, firmware, IP address, Ethernet services, serial settings, I/O assignment, pulse parameters and expansion layout before replacement.
