The fast input impedance is 2.81 kΩ; standard inputs are 4.7 kΩ. Input logic is sink or source, Type 1 per IEC 61131-2. Output voltage drop is under 1 V; each transistor output is short-circuit and overload protected with automatic reset. ## Fast output accuracy and timing For applications requiring precise pulse train or PWM generation, the fast outputs deliver ±0.1 % accuracy from 20 Hz to 100 Hz, and ±1 % from 100 Hz to 1 kHz. Turn-on response on the standard inputs is 50 µs; turn-off on the transistor outputs is ≤250 µs. The controller runs one freewheeling task plus up to eight event or external event tasks, plus four cyclic master tasks. These timing characteristics are relevant for coordinated motion or high-speed count-based sequencing. The unit mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 per IEC 60715) or direct to a panel using the fixing kit. Overall dimensions: width 190 mm, height 90 mm, depth 95 mm. Ambient operating temperature and humidity are covered in the IEC 61131-2 standards; pollution degree 2 applies. Power supply via the serial link provides 5 V at under 200 mA for the backplane.","metaTitle":"TM241C40T Modicon M241 Controller, 24 Inputs 16 Transistor O","metaDescription":"Schneider TM241C40T Modicon M241 PLC with 40 I/O, 24 discrete inputs (8 fast, 200 kHz HSC), 16 transistor outputs, 5V serial supply.
