Schneider Electric M340 Series PLC I/O Module for Use with M340 Series, Discrete, Transistor, 240 V

Use this PLC I/O module from Schneider Electric to link a central processing unit to machines in your automated system. For easy integration, it's fully compatible with the Modicon M340 series. The versatile unit has 32 outputs, so you can make multiple connections with one device, which boosts your productivity and simplifies your setup. A voltage rating of 24V DC means this is a suitable option for use with low-powered systems.

• 3.6W power dissipation capability means reduced risk of overheating, minimising disruption
• Allows for paralleling of up to 3 outputs for efficient packing
• Response time of 1.2ms on output means fast processing of signals
• High mean time between failures of over 300,000 hours makes this a reliable choice
• Four LEDs clearly provide immediate status information, for enhanced monitoring

• Industrial automation
• Machine building
• Assembly lines

The module is protected against damage from reverse polarity by a reverse-mounted diode. It's also protected against short-circuits, overloads and overvoltage, so you can rely on it for consistent performance.
