The Schneider Electric TM3DM32R is a 32-point, relay output module belonging to the Modicon TM3 modular I/O system. It is designed to provide a versatile and isolated interface for controlling a wide variety of AC or DC loads directly from a TM3-compatible programmable logic controller (PLC), such as the Modicon M221, M241, or M251 series.
