Schneider TM218LDA24DRHN Compact Logic Controller

TM218LDA24DRHN Modicon M218 Compact Logic Controller

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric Modicon M218 TM218LDA24DRHN offers a reliable and compact solution for your control system needs. This logic controller integrates 14 discrete inputs and 10 relay outputs into a single base unit. Its design focuses on simple installation and efficient operation for small machinery.

Technical Specifications

This controller operates on a rated supply voltage from 100 to 240 V AC, with limits between 85 and 264 V. Its power consumption is only 25 W, which makes it energy-efficient. The TM218LDA24DRHN provides 14 discrete inputs with a voltage type of 24 V DC. These inputs feature an impedance of 4700 Ohms for standard use and 2800 Ohms for high-speed inputs. The response time for both turn-on and turn-off is a swift 2 ms.

For outputs, this base unit includes 10 relay outputs. The output voltage limits range from 19.2 to 28.8 V DC, with a maximum voltage drop of less than 1.5 V. The maximum cable distance between devices is under 5 meters when using shielded cable. Furthermore, the input current required from the power supply is 250 mA at 22-27 V.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The Modicon M218 is built for diverse operating conditions. It operates reliably in ambient air temperatures from 0 to 55 °C. For storage, it can withstand temperatures ranging from -25 to 70 °C. Additionally, it handles a relative humidity of 95% without condensation. The device supports an operating altitude of up to 2000 meters and a storage altitude of up to 3000 meters. Its IP20 protection ensures it is safe from solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. Moreover, it resists shocks of 15 gn for 11 ms and vibrations of 3.5 mm at 5 to 150 Hz, complying with pollution degree 2.

Installation Guidelines

For correct installation, mount the TM218LDA24DRHN securely inside a control cabinet. Ensure the environment is free from excessive dust and moisture. Connect the power supply to the 100-240 V AC terminals, respecting the polarity. For the inputs, connect your 24 V DC sensors to the designated terminals. Similarly, wire the relay outputs to your actuators, paying attention to the maximum voltage and current ratings. Always use shielded cables for connections longer than 5 meters to maintain signal integrity. Finally, ground the controller properly to prevent electrical noise issues.
