What this controller brings to your panel
The TM258LF42DT4L is a 24 V DC Modicon M258 controller with 42 discrete I/O. Sink logic on the fast/regular inputs, source on all outputs. Four analog inputs handle 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, or ±10 V, so you can wire in pressure transmitters or analog position feedback directly. Eight of the inputs are counting-capable at 200 kHz – enough for incremental encoders on a packaging line or spindle speed feedback. CANopen at selectable bit rates from 10 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s ties the controller into I/O blocks, drives, and remote racks. The 128 MB flash / 64 MB RAM memory leaves headroom for moderate programs and data logging.
Compliance and mounting notes
Rated for UL 508, IEC 61131-2, CSA C22.2 No. 213 and 142 – meets the certification list most panel shops and inspectors check. Pollution degree 2, mounts on symmetrical DIN rail, vibration resistance at 1 gn from 8.4 to 150 Hz. Storage altitude to 3000 m, operating to 2000 m. The 85 mm depth and 237.5 mm width fit standard enclosures. Real-time clock drifts under 30 s/month without user calibration, or down to 6 s/month with calibration – useful for timestamped alarms or batch records. The CR2477M battery keeps retain variables alive for about 1.5 years on the shelf.
