Schneider Electric PLC Expansion Module for Use with Modicon M340

Use this Ethernet PLC expansion module from Schneider Electric to boost the communication capabilities of your industrial setup. Once integrated, the expansion module conveniently configures to your system automatically. Product structures and maintenance, as well as remote diagnostics, are all available instantly, so installation is quick and efficient. It’s designed for use with any browser that supports Java coding, so is widely compatible. An IP20 rating means that the module is touch-proof and resistant to dust or objects over 12mm in size, so there's no risk of electric shocks when you handle it.

• Designed for seamless integration with the Modicon 340 series, so it fits into your existing system
• Flash memory card improves data storage and comes pre-formatted for instant and easy use with the module
• Signalling via LEDs rather than standard bulbs, for a longer service life

• Industrial automation
• Production lines
• Vehicle manufacturing

PLC stands for programmable logic controller. This is a type of specialised computer that supports the control of automated industrial processes, such as the machines and robotic devices found on assembly lines.
