Schneider TM200C40R Easy Modicon M200 Logic Controller
Product Introduction
The Schneider TM200C40R brings substantial I/O capacity to the Easy Modicon M200 platform. This logic controller features 40 discrete I/O points, combining 24 inputs and 16 relay outputs. It operates on a wide AC supply range of 100‑240V, making it suitable for global installations. The input mix includes 4 high‑speed channels (I0, I1, I6, I7), 4 fast channels (I2–I5), and 16 regular inputs (I8–I23). All 16 relay outputs are normally open, rated at 2A each, and capable of switching both DC and AC loads. With built‑in PID, high‑speed counting, and Modbus communication, the TM200C40R handles complex automation tasks with ease.
Technical Specifications
The TM200C40R runs on a rated supply of 100‑240V AC , with limits from 85 to 264V. It consumes between 59 and 69 VA at full I/O load. The controller includes 24 discrete inputs accepting 24V DC logic, with a guaranteed ON voltage of ≥15V and OFF voltage of ≤5V. Input current is 7 mA with 3.3 kΩ impedance, conforming to type 1 sink/source logic per EN/IEC 61131‑2.
For outputs, the TM200C40R provides 16 relay channels, all normally open. These support 24V DC or 220V AC loads at up to 2A per point. The relays are grouped into four commons (COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3), each rated at 4A maximum. Electrical durability reaches 100,000 cycles for resistive loads, while mechanical durability extends to 20 million cycles. The minimum load requirement is 10 mA at 5V DC.
Response times vary by input type. High‑speed inputs switch in 5 µs. Fast inputs respond in 35 µs (on) and 100 µs (off). Regular inputs I8–I13 switch in 35 µs (on) and 100 µs (off), while I14–I23 are slightly slower at 55 µs (on) and 125 µs (off). Relay outputs have a fixed response time of 10 ms for both on and off transitions. You can also configure input filtering at 0, 3, or 12 ms to reject electrical noise.
High‑Speed Counting and Control Functions
The TM200C40R supports high‑speed counting (HSC) on its fast inputs (I2–I5) at 100 kHz with 32‑bit resolution. Counting modes include quadrature (x1, x2, x4), pulse/direction, single phase, and CW/CCW. This makes the controller ideal for encoder feedback, flow measurement, and position tracking. Additionally, the built‑in adjustable PID regulator handles up to 14 simultaneous loops, enabling precise control of temperature, pressure, and flow processes.
Memory and Data Management
Program memory includes 512 bytes of internal flash, storing up to 10,000 instructions. An optional 32 GB micro SD card expands storage for data logging, recipe management, and firmware updates. The real‑time clock maintains accurate time with drift of ≤90 seconds per month at 25°C. A BR2032 lithium battery preserves clock data and program backups for up to 3 years during power interruptions.
Communication and Connectivity
Connectivity on the TM200C40R includes a USB mini B port for programming via SoMachine‑Network at 12 Mbit/s. Two non‑isolated serial links are provided: serial 1 with RS485, and serial 2 configurable for RS232 or RS485. An isolated RS485 interface is also available on serial 2. These support Modbus master/slave protocols in RTU or ASCII modes, with baud rates from 1.2 to 115.2 kbit/s. You can expand I/O by adding up to 4 expansion modules , reaching a total of 128 discrete outputs for transistor systems or 80 for relay systems.
Mechanical and Environmental Ratings
The TM200C40R carries an IP20 rating with the protective cover installed. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 55°C for horizontal mounting, with storage from -25 to 70°C. It withstands vibration of 3.5 mm at 5–8.4 Hz and 1 gn at 8.4–150 Hz on DIN rail, or 3.5 mm at 5–8.7 Hz and 2 gn at 8.7–150 Hz for panel mounting. Shock resistance is rated at 15 gn for 11 ms and 30 gn for 6 ms. Relative humidity can reach 95% without condensation, and the unit operates at altitudes up to 2000 meters.
Insulation is robust: 1780V AC between output and logic, between output groups, and between supply and logic. Input‑to‑logic insulation is 500V AC. The controller also includes a 24V DC sensor power supply rated at 300 mA, providing power for external sensors without an additional supply.
Installation and Mounting
Mount the TM200C40R on a standard DIN rail (TH35‑15 or TH35‑7.5 per IEC 60715) or on a panel using an optional fixing kit. Its dimensions are 90 mm (H) x 175 mm (W) x 70 mm (D). The wider footprint accommodates the increased I/O count. All connections use removable screw terminal blocks for easy wiring and maintenance. The power supply connects via a 3‑terminal block, inputs and outputs via dedicated terminal blocks, and serial link 1 via a 4‑terminal block.
For wiring, keep unshielded input cables under 50 meters. Fast and high‑speed inputs require shielded cables shorter than 10 meters. Output cables can run up to 150 meters unshielded. The controller meets CE, CSA, cULus, IACS E10, and RCM certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does the TM200C40R differ from the TM200C16R?
The TM200C40R offers 40 I/Os (24 inputs, 16 relay outputs) compared to 16 I/Os on the TM200C16R. It also has a wider physical footprint (175 mm vs 110 mm) and provides a 300 mA sensor power supply instead of 250 mA.
2. Can I mix transistor and relay expansion modules with this controller?
Yes, you can add up to 4 expansion modules of either type. For transistor expansion, the total outputs can reach 128; for relay expansion, up to 80 outputs are possible.
3. What is the maximum switching frequency for the relay outputs?
Under maximum load, the relay outputs switch at 0.1 Hz. For lighter loads, you can achieve higher frequencies, but we recommend following the derating curves in the user manual.
4. Does the TM200C40R support Ethernet communication?
This base model does not include Ethernet. However, you can add an optional communication module or use the built‑in serial links (RS232/RS485) with Modbus protocols for networking.
5. What is the purpose of the four separate output commons?
The four commons (COM0–COM3) allow you to group relay outputs into isolated zones. This flexibility lets you mix different load voltages or provide separate protection for different sections of your machine.
