Schneider TM3AM6 Analog Mixed Module 4AI 2AO

Product Introduction

The TM3AM6 combines analog input and output functions in one Modicon TM3 module. This mixed design saves rack space in compact PLC systems. Engineers choose it when a machine needs both measurement and control signals. The unit offers four analog inputs and two analog outputs. All channels support 0–10 Vdc, ±10 Vdc, 0–20 mA, and 4–20 mA signals. Each channel configures independently through software.

Technical Specifications

Specifically, the TM3AM6 provides 12-bit resolution on both inputs and outputs. Accuracy reaches ±0.1% of full scale at 25 °C. Temperature drift stays within ±1% of full scale across the operating range. Conversion takes 1 ms plus 1 ms per channel plus one controller cycle. Isolation delivers 1500 V AC between analog I/O and supply, plus 500 V AC between analog I/O and internal logic. Diagnostics cover channel status, module status, and bus status. The removable screw terminal block uses 3.81 mm pitch.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

Furthermore, the TM3AM6 measures 90 × 23.6 × 70 mm (H×W×D). It weighs 0.11 kg. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +55 °C. Storage temperature spans −25 to +70 °C. Protection rating is IP20. The module mounts on standard DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5). A green PWR LED confirms bus power.

Installation Guide

First, mount the TM3AM6 onto a DIN rail. Next, connect the expansion bus to the controller. Then, wire analog signals using twisted-pair shielded cable. After wiring, configure each channel via EcoStruxure Machine Expert software. Finally, verify the PWR LED illuminates green. The module draws 50 mA at 5 V DC and 50 mA at 24 V DC under full load. Use a stable 24 Vdc supply through the TM3 bus.
