It sits beside a host M168 controller and handles the valve actuation loop directly, taking the EEV sizing decision off the main controller's scan. The module carries one or two analogue inputs that accept 0...10 V or 0...5 V ratio voltage, 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA current, and Pt 1000 or NTC 10k temperature probes across the -100...400 °C (Pt 1000) and -50...+120 °C (NTC) ranges, with a 12 V sensor power supply on board. Two non-isolated discrete inputs round out the field-side interface. ## Output ratings and switching duty The discrete output switches 250 V AC at 5000 mA with volt-free contacts and is rated for 100000 cycles at 24 V AC or 24...37 V DC. That makes the relay half of the module the limiting factor on refrigeration plant service life — a few hundred thousand valve actuations a year is the realistic ceiling before the contact wear becomes the maintenance event, not the valve itself. ## Panel fit and environmental envelope IP20 means finger-safe only — the module belongs inside an enclosed panel, not at the equipment skin. Operating range is -10...60 °C with storage from -25...60 °C, 10...90 % non-condensing humidity, and up to 2000 m altitude, in pollution degree 2 and overvoltage category III environments. Conformal-coating class is not declared on the spec line, so for washdown or condenser-room atmospheres the panel enclosure rating has to carry the sealing burden. ## Standards on record The module is CE-marked and certified to EN 60730-1, EN 61000-6-3, EN 61000-6-1, UL 60730, and the 2006/95/EEC low-voltage directive. For HVAC/refrigeration machinery bearing the UL 60730 listing, this covers the automatic electrical controls piece of the panel's compliance file.","metaTitle":"TM168BEVCM Schneider Modicon M168 EV Driver, Obsolete","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TM168BEVCM Modicon M168 electronic expansion valve driver, obsolete, quoted to order through independent distribution.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["HMI Operator Interfaces"],"specifications":{"Depth":"60 mm","Width":"71 mm","title":"TM168BEVCM","Height":"128 mm","Marking":"CE","Standards":"EN 60730-1 EN 61000-6-3 EN 61000-6-1 UL 60730 2006/95/EEC","description":"M168 electronic expansion valve driver module stand alone","Connector type":"Without connector","Contacts usage":"Volt-free contacts","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Mounting support":"35 mm symmetrical DIN rail","Pollution degree":"2","Range of product":"Modicon M168 logic controller","Relative humidity":"10...90 % without condensation","Operating altitude":"0...2000 m","Analogue input type":"Voltage: 0...10 V or 0...5 V ratio Current: 0...20 mA/4...20 mA Temperature probe: -100...400 °C for Pt 1000 Temperature probe: -50...+120 °C for NTC 10k","Sensor power supply":"12 V","Overvoltage category":"III","Analogue input number":"1 2","Discrete input number":"2 for no isolated digital input","Electrical durability":"100000 cycles 24 V AC 100000 cycles 24...37 V DC","Discrete output current":"5000 mA","Discrete output voltage":"250 V AC","IP degree of protection":"IP20","Product or component type":"Application-specific expansion module","Product specific application":"Control of electronic expansion valve","Ambient air temperature for storage":"-25...60 °C","Ambient air temperature for operation":"-10...60 °C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/7a30834813929e5d2679a4429cac83c0.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/TM168BEVCM/m168-electronic-expansion-valve-driver-module-stand-alone/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider Electric list for the TM168BEVCM?","answer":"The spec record carries CE marking plus EN 60730-1, EN 61000-6-3, EN 61000-6-1, UL 60730, and the 2006/95/EEC low-voltage directive.
