Schneider Electric M340 Series PLC I/O Module for Use with M340 Series, Discrete

Automate your industrial processes with this PLC I/O module from Schneider Electric's Modicon M340 series. It supplies power and controls digital field devices via a discrete DC input. Use it with equipment such as switches, alarms and pumps that have only an 'on' or 'off' state. Thanks to a 40-point terminal connection, this PLC is able to control multiple appliances and it has LED indicators to visually represent each port's operating status for simple identification and diagnosis. A current sink input type means electricity flows in one direction only, to protect your system from damage.

• IP20 rating means it's resistant to dust or objects over 12mm and is touch-proof for reliable user safety
• Wide operating temperature range between 0°C and +60°C for use in harsh conditions
• Voltage supply of 24V DC for energy efficiency
• Current of 1mA for low heat dissipation

• Industrial manufacturing
• Automotive industry
• Robotics and automation systems

This module uses an FCN-type connection for flexibility.
