Overview
The TM2DRA8RT is a Schneider Modicon M238 logic controller I/O expansion module, order code TM2DRA8RT, providing 8 relay outputs rated at 2 A switching current with a 5 ms response time.
Each of the 8 discrete outputs is a single-pole normally-open (1 NO) relay contact, capable of switching up to 2 A at 240 V AC resistive or 30 V DC resistive. The 5 ms response time suits general-purpose on/off control of solenoids, contactors, and indicator lamps where sub-cycle switching is not required. Two common points group the outputs into two isolated banks, allowing separate load circuits or supply voltages per bank.
Applications
As a PLC expansion module in the Modicon M238 family, the TM2DRA8RT adds relay output capacity to compact machine controllers used in packaging, material handling, conveyor systems, and small OEM machinery. The relay outputs are well suited for switching AC loads such as motor starters, valves, and pilot lights where galvanic isolation between the controller and field wiring is beneficial.
