This product is part of the Modicon TM5 series, a range of modules for modular IP20 I/O systems. The serial ASCII link PCI communication module features a physical RS485 interface. It is a communication module with a maximum power loss of 0.4 W. This product is part of a flexible and scalable I/O configuration for automation solutions. The integrated connections are isolated serial connections, 9-pin D-Sub (DE-09) Modbus ASCII (RS485) connectors. The product complies with the IP20 protection rating and weighs 0.05 kg. The Modicon TM5 meets the typical requirements of production and packaging machines, as well as material handling and assembly systems. This product is certified by CE, CSA, GOST-R, and CULus. It complies with the standards IEC 61131-2, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No 213, and CSA C22.2 No 142. This product is compatible with the Modicon LMC058 motion controller and the Modicon M258 logic controller. This modular IP20 I/O system offers a flexible and scalable configuration of extensions or distributed I/O islands. This is made possible by connecting to Modicon controllers (TM5 bus) or via CANopen bus/Sercos bus for Modicon and PacDrive 3 controllers. Flexible and scalable, designed for complex machines.
