Schneider Electric TM3DI16 16-Point Digital Input Module – Modicon TM3 Series
When a critical production line loses its digital input module, the consequences are immediate and severe: PLCs go blind to field signals, safety interlocks fail to respond, and entire automated processes grind to a halt. Unplanned downtime in industrial environments can cost thousands of dollars per hour — and sourcing a replacement fast is not optional, it is mission-critical. The Schneider Electric TM3DI16 is the exact component that stands between your operation running at full capacity and an unscheduled shutdown.
The TM3DI16 is a 16-point 24 VDC digital input expansion module purpose-built for the Modicon TM3 platform, compatible with Modicon M238, M241, M251, and M262 logic controllers. As part of Schneider Electric’s globally deployed TM3 expansion ecosystem — one of the most widely adopted PLC I/O families in industrial automation — the TM3DI16 delivers reliable, high-density discrete signal acquisition for demanding factory-floor environments worldwide.
