The Schneider Electric TM172PDG42SI is a programmable controller in the Modicon M171/M172 range, explicitly designed for HVAC control applications as stated in its product-specific application field. It provides 42 mixed I/O — 12 digital inputs, 12 digital outputs (combination of relay SPDT/SPST and solid-state isolated), 12 analog inputs configurable by pair, and 6 analog outputs — making it a one-box solution for a medium-sized terminal controller.
I/O and fieldbus detail
Twelve digital inputs accept 24 V AC/DC, sink or source logic. The 12 digital outputs break into 2 relay SPDT with independent common, 3 relay SPST shared common, 5 relay SPST shared common, and 2 solid-state isolated SPST — relay contacts rated 3 A each, solid-state 0.5 A. Analog inputs handle voltage (0–5 V, 0–10 V), current (0–20 mA/4–20 mA), resistance (Pt1000, NTC 103AT-2, NTC NK103), and PTC probes, with per-pair configuration. Communication includes one Ethernet RJ45 port for Modbus TCP and BACnet IP with embedded web server, two RS485 screw terminals for Modbus serial link or BACnet MS/TP, and one USB mini-B device port for programming. A USB type-A host port is also present. This fieldbus mix covers both standard building automation protocols without additional gateways.
Environmental and mounting considerations
The controller is rated IP20 (protection against solid objects >12 mm, no water ingress), suitable for clean control panels. Operating ambient temperature is -4 to 149 °F (-20 to 65 °C), derated to -4 to 131 °F (-20 to 55 °C) when mounted horizontally per UL 60730-1. Storage range is -22 to 158 °F (-30 to 70 °C). Dimensions are 5.7 in (144 mm) wide × 4.3 in (110 mm) high × 2.4 in (60.5 mm) deep. It supports panel mounting with an accessory DIN-rail bracket — a common footprint for M172-series controllers.
Compliance and sourcing posture
The TM172PDG42SI carries UL, CSA, EN standards with material rating UL94 V0, and meets directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/35/EU.
