The Schneider Electric TM3DQ8R is a discrete output module from the Modicon TM3 family. It provides eight normally open relay outputs for your control system. This module works seamlessly with Modicon M221, M241, M251, and M262 controllers. Each relay channel handles up to 2A of current at either 24V DC or 240V AC. Consequently, you can directly drive a wide variety of field devices without needing intermediate power interfaces. The TM3DQ8R also features a removable screw terminal block for quick installation and maintenance.
The Schneider Electric TM3DQ8R offers flexible logic configuration. You can set each output for either positive or negative logic. The module draws only 5mA at 5V DC (via the bus connector) when outputs are off. During operation, the current consumption increases to 40mA at 24V DC and 30mA at 5V DC. The relay outputs have a turn-on response time of 10ms and a turn-off time of 5ms. Furthermore, mechanical durability reaches 20,000,000 cycles. The minimum load requirement is 10mA at 5V DC for reliable contact operation.
This module uses an 11-position removable screw terminal block with a 5.08mm pitch. The terminal block accepts wire sizes up to 2.5mm², giving you flexibility for different field wiring needs. You can achieve a maximum cable distance of up to 30 meters when using unshielded cable. Eight green LEDs (one per channel) provide immediate visual feedback of output status. Additionally, the TM3DQ8R offers robust electrical isolation. It provides 2300V AC isolation between outputs and internal logic, 750V AC between outputs, and 1500V AC between output groups.
The Schneider Electric TM3DQ8R operates reliably in harsh industrial environments. It meets EN/IEC 61131-2 standards and carries CE, cULus, UKCA, RCM, EAC, and cULus HazLoc certifications. The module resists electrostatic discharge up to 8kV in air and 4kV on contact. Additionally, it withstands radiated electromagnetic fields of 10V/m (80MHz to 1GHz). For conducted disturbances, it handles 10V from 0.15 to 80MHz. The unit also meets marine specifications (LR, ABS, DNV, GL) for spot frequencies.
You can mount the Schneider Electric TM3DQ8R in several ways. It fits onto a top hat TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail according to IEC 60715. Alternatively, you can mount it on a plate or panel using the optional fixing kit. The ambient operating temperature ranges from -10°C to +55°C for horizontal installation and -10°C to +35°C for vertical mounting. The unit is IP20 rated when you keep the protective cover in place, and it suits Pollution Degree 2 environments.

Q1: Which Modicon controllers work with the TM3DQ8R?
The Schneider Electric TM3DQ8R is compatible with Modicon M221, M241, M251, and M262 PLCs.
Q2: Can I use this module for AC loads?
Yes. The TM3DQ8R relays support both 24V DC and 240V AC loads up to 2A per channel.
Q3: How do I know if an output is active?
Each channel has a green LED on the front panel. The LED lights up when the corresponding output turns on.
Q4: What is the maximum cable length for outputs?
For relay outputs, the maximum cable distance is 30 meters when using unshielded wire.
Q5: Does this module require external power?
The TM3DQ8R draws its operating power directly from the bus connector. It does not need a separate power supply for its internal logic.
