The Schneider Electric TM221C16T is a Modicon M221 logic controller: logic controller, Modicon M221, 16 IO, 9 DI, 7 DO, transistor, PNP.
If a machine stops because the PLC has failed, the fastest fix is an identical controller with the program reloaded from the backup; that is why many plants keep one spare M221 of each type in stock.

Typical applications
- Machine retrofits from older Twido controllers
- Replacement of a failed M221/M241 controller
- Packaging, pumping and conveying machines
- Small process skids and water stations
Compatibility and replacement
Twido controllers (TWD) are discontinued; the M221 is the usual Schneider migration path. Send us the old reference and I/O count and we will suggest the matching model.
Frequently asked questions
Which software do I need?
EcoStruxure Machine Expert – Basic for M221 (free), EcoStruxure Machine Expert for M241.
Relay or transistor outputs?
Relay outputs (R) switch AC or DC loads up to the relay rating; transistor outputs (T) are for fast 24 V DC loads and pulse outputs.
Can I copy the program from the old controller?
Yes, if the old controller still works and is not protected, the application can be uploaded and downloaded to the new unit with the Schneider software.
Does it have Ethernet?
This version has no Ethernet port; it is programmed over USB and communicates over its serial line.
Can I get a price and delivery time?
