Presentation Modicon M221

Programmable logic controller for hardwired

Presentation
Applications
Modicon M221 and M221 Book logic controllers are designed for simple machines.
They can optimize the size of wall-mounted and floor-standing control system
enclosures due to their compact dimensions.
b The controllers are available in 2 formats:
- Modicon M221 controllers (TM221Cpppp references) offer excellent connection
capacity and customization options without increasing the controller size, using
I/O, communication, or application cartridges.
- Modicon M221 Book controllers (TM221Mppp references) offer very small
dimensions and a wide choice of connections.
b M221 and M221 Book controllers have an embedded Ethernet port meaning they
can be easily integrated in control system architectures, for remote control and
maintenance of machines using applications for smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
b The wealth of functions embedded in M221 and M221 Book controllers minimizes
the cost of the machine:
- Functions embedded in the controller: Modbus serial link, USB port dedicated
16 I/O channels 24 I/O channels to programming, and simple position control functions (high speed counters
and pulse train outputs trapezoidal and S-curve profile)
- Functions embedded in Modicon TM3 extensions: functional safety modules,
motor-starter control module, and remote expansion system
- Functions embedded in the dedicated display unit
b The application is created quickly thanks to the intuitive nature of the
EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic programming software, which also has
embedded configuration of the display unit and extensions, including the
functional safety modules.
40 I/O channels
