The Schneider TM221ME16R is a Book-format Modicon M221 logic controller with 16 embedded digital I/O points. It provides 8 digital inputs and 8 relay outputs, operates from a 24 VDC controller supply and includes an embedded Ethernet port.
The narrow Book-format construction is intended for modular control-panel layouts where cabinet width, terminal access and the arrangement of TM3 expansion modules are important.
Relay outputs allow the controller to operate compatible AC or DC control loads. The contact voltage, current, switching frequency and required suppression devices must be checked for each connected load.

The TM221ME16R is suitable for packaging machines, conveyors, pump and fan control, compact control panels, distributed machine sections and general OEM equipment.
The relay-output configuration is useful for applications requiring flexible control of compatible AC or DC loads. Interposing relays or contactors may still be required for higher-current equipment.
The Book-format enclosure should be selected when the installed panel, terminal layout and TM3 expansion arrangement are designed around the TM221M or TM221ME mechanical platform.
Verify the complete TM221ME16R commercial reference. TM221M16R is the related Book-format model without embedded Ethernet.
TM221ME16T and TM221ME16TG use transistor outputs rather than relay contacts. They require different output wiring and must not be treated as direct replacements.
Before replacement, back up the controller project, Ethernet settings, serial configuration, I/O assignments, firmware, cartridge configuration and TM3 expansion layout.
Related Book-format Ethernet controllers include TM221ME16T, TM221ME16TG and TM221ME32TK.
TM221CE16R is a compact Ethernet relay controller, but it uses a different enclosure, I/O distribution and controller power-supply arrangement.
Please provide the exact installed model, controller power supply, relay-load voltage and current, Ethernet requirement, serial settings, terminal layout and connected TM3 modules.
Firmware, software-project compatibility, cartridges, product condition, functional testing, availability and delivery time must be confirmed before quotation.
