The Schneider Electric TM172ASCTB28 is a power supply module designed for the Modicon TM172 series of all-in-one touchscreen logic controllers. This external power supply unit provides stable 24V DC power to the TM172 controller, typically used when the controller is installed in locations where a direct 24V DC source is not available. It ensures reliable operation of the integrated PLC, HMI, and I/O system.
