Programmed I/O Bus Coupler

The CCS-TM3BCEIP-A is a high-performance I/O bus coupler that serves as a crucial link in a modular control system. Part of the Modicon TM3 range, this device is designed to expand the I/O capabilities of Modicon M221, M241, M251, and M262 logic and motion controllers. It allows for a distributed I/O architecture, providing flexibility and scalability to meet the demands of complex automation systems.

This bus coupler features a robust Ethernet interface with two RJ45 ports that support daisy chain topology and a data transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps. It is compatible with standard industrial communication protocols, including Ethernet IP and Modbus TCP, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks. The module also offers comprehensive web services, such as a web server via both Ethernet and USB, for easy configuration and monitoring.

The unit is built to operate reliably in a wide temperature range of 14°F to 140°F (-10°C to 60°C) and is rated IP20 for protection against solid objects. Its compact design and simple interlocking assembly mechanism make for quick and secure installation on a DIN rail or mounting plate. The front of the unit features clear LED indicators for system, module, network, and I/O status, providing at-a-glance diagnostics.
