1. Local Expansion Series
• TM2 / TM3 / TM5 / TM7
– Snap onto the right-hand side of Modicon M200 / M218 / M221 / M241 / M251 / M262 CPUs without tools.
– A single CPU supports up to 14 TM3 or 7 TM5 slices: max 248 DI/DO, 114 AI/AO, 200 kHz high-speed counters, 4-axis PTO/PWM.
– TM7 is the IP67 variant for cabinet-less machine tools and filling lines.
2. Distributed IP20 Series
• Advantys OTB
– 55 mm base with 20 on-board I/O plus room for 7 TM2/TM3 slices (max 132 DI/DO or 48 AI/AO).
– Supports CANopen, Modbus, Ethernet; master can be a PLC, PC, or even a drive.
• Advantys STB
– Modular high-density design, up to 32 I/O slices per island.
– Field-bus options: Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP—ideal for mid-to-large distributed lines.
3. Next-Gen Distributed System
• Modicon Edge I/O NTS (released 2025)
– 100+ SKUs: DI/DO, AI/AO, specialty motion, bus couplers.
– Hot-swap, conformal-coated, integrated diagnostics—reduces MTTR by >30 %.
4. Safety & High-Availability Series
• ICS Triplex Trusted (e.g., T8431C)
– Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) certified to SIL 3 / IEC 61508 for process safety and ESD.
5. Universal Technical Highlights
• Single software: EcoStruxure Machine Expert for drag-and-drop configuration, online diagnostics, DTM/FDT support.
• Global approvals: CE, cULus, EAC, RoHS, REACH.
• Tool-less, removable terminals—screw, spring, or push-in.
