TWDLCAE40DRF Compact PLC Base – Twido Series
Brand: Schneider Electric | Series: Twido | Type: Compact Base Controller
Integrated 40 I/O, Ethernet TCP/IP, and PID-ready control for small to mid-size automation.
Product Description
The TWDLCAE40DRF is a compact PLC base from the Twido range. It operates on 100..240 V AC supply. It offers 24 digital inputs (24 V DC) and 16 digital outputs (2 transistor + 14 relay). The base supports up to 7 expansion modules. It includes a non-isolated serial link (RS485) and an Ethernet TCP/IP port. The controller handles PID, event processing, and positioning functions. It is suitable for conveyor control, packaging lines, and building automation.
