Specifications
Parameter Category Details
Manufacturer & Series Schneider Electric, Modicon TM171 (All-in-One Controller)
Complete Model Number TM171OBM22R
Product Type Large Touchscreen Logic Controller (Integrated PLC + HMI)
Display 22-inch TFT Color LCD, Touchscreen (typically Capacitive for better responsiveness and multi-touch support).
Screen Resolution Typically 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD) or higher, providing sharp graphics and ample workspace.
Brightness High brightness, typically ≥ 450 cd/m², for good visibility in well-lit industrial environments.
CPU Performance Powerful multi-core industrial processor to handle simultaneous logic execution, complex HMI graphics rendering, and data processing.
User Memory Substantial combined memory for logic and HMI projects, typically in the range of 100-250 MB or more for user applications, recipes, and data logging.
Embedded Local I/O Includes a set of Local I/O on the device body. The exact configuration (count of digital I/O, analog I/O, high-speed counters) is specific to the "OBM22R" variant. Consult the precise datasheet for exact I/O specifications.
Expansion Capability Supports connection of Modicon TM3 expansion I/O modules via a TM3 bus extender for significant I/O point expansion beyond the local I/O.
Communication Ports • 2x Ethernet Ports (RJ45): For programming (Modbus TCP), network integration, daisy-chaining, and remote access (VNC, Web server).
• 2x USB Ports (Type A): For connecting peripherals (keyboard, mouse, barcode scanner, USB storage).
• 1x USB Port (Mini-B or Type B): For service and direct programming.
• Serial Port (optional/configurable): For legacy device communication.
Programming Standard IEC 61131-3 for the PLC logic part.
Programming/HMI Software EcoStruxure Machine Expert (unified environment). The "BM" suffix signifies the HMI runtime license is embedded/perpetual, included with the hardware purchase.
Power Supply 24V DC (typically 19.2V - 28.8V DC).
Operating Temperature 0°C to +50°C (with display). For extended temperature ranges, consult specific documentation.
Storage Temperature -20°C to +70°C
Front Panel Protection Rating Typically IP65 / NEMA 4X (dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets) when properly installed, suitable for mounting directly on machinery.
Mounting Panel-mounted via a cutout. Requires sturdy panel support due to its size and weight.
Dimensions (H x W x D) Approximately ~500 mm x 350 mm x 60-80 mm (varies; precise bezel and cutout dimensions are critical).
Certifications cULus, CE, RoHS compliant, potentially others (e.g., marine, hazardous location for specific variants).
Typical Applications Large process control panels, packaging line supervisors, assembly line control centers, test and measurement stations, food & beverage processing lines, and any application requiring a central, powerful control and visualization point for complex machines or small lines.
