2. Key Features TM3DI16

• Provides 16 reliable digital inputs for Modicon controllers, ideal for machine automation and logic processing

• Supports both sink and source wiring configurations for flexible integration

• Compact size fits easily into small control panels

• Screw terminals provide secure and vibration-resistant connections

• Plug-and-play connectivity with TM3 bus for easy expansion of I/O capacity without programming complexity

• Built-in LED indicators for each input channel simplify troubleshooting and diagnostics

• Power supplied directly through the TM3 backplane — no external power required for the module itself

• Suitable for fast response applications due to low input delay

• Compatible with EcoStruxure Machine Expert (SoMachine) for programming and diagnostics

• Can be mixed with other TM3 modules (analog, relay, transistor output, etc.) in a single configuration

3. Applications

• Ideal for industrial automation systems where multiple digital sensors or switches need to be monitored

• Used in machine control panels for discrete input devices such as limit switches, proximity sensors, and push buttons

• Applicable in material handling systems, conveyors, and automated packaging lines

• Suitable for factory floor monitoring, alarms, or signal acquisition from external devices

• Used in building automation and control systems for digital signal collection

• Helps in implementing complex PLC logic with expanded input capacity for Modicon M221/M241/M251 controllers

• Can be integrated into distributed I/O architectures using TM3 expansion bus
