Schneider Electric – TM3XTYS4 – Modicon TM3 Parallel Interface Module

The Schneider Electric TM3XTYS4 is a parallel interface module within the Modicon TM3 I/O line, designed to control up to four TeSys motor starters (U or D series). Featuring 12 sink inputs and 8 transistor source outputs, it’s ideal for efficient central management of multiple motor circuits in industrial applications. The compact DIN-rail mounted module supports automatic overload protection and reset, simplifying integration into automation systems.
