Schneider TM5SBER2 Remote Receiver Module for Modicon TM5 Systems

What Is the TM5SBER2?

When your distributed control system demands reliable remote I/O communication and power distribution, the Schneider TM5SBER2 remote receiver module delivers. Part of the Modicon TM5 family, this module handles communication between remote I/O and distributes power to the TM5 bus and I/O devices. It supports Modicon M258 and LMC058 controllers, making it a versatile choice for industrial automation.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The TM5SBER2 operates on a 24 V DC input/output supply with a current consumption of 25 mA. It supports a bus length of up to 8202.10 ft (2500 m) and a maximum cable distance between devices of 328.08 ft (100 m). Maximum power dissipation is 2.22 W. The module weighs 0.06 lb (0.025 kg) and features local signaling with one green LED for power supply, one red LED for bus current, one red LED for power supply, and one yellow LED for communication data bus. It carries CE marking and certifications including CSA, cULus, C-tick, and GOST-R.

Industry Applications

In manufacturing plants, the TM5SBER2 enables seamless communication between remote I/O racks and central controllers, reducing wiring complexity. For material handling systems, it distributes power efficiently to I/O modules, ensuring consistent operation. Its wide operating temperature range—32 to 140 °F (0 to 60 °C) with derating—suits demanding environments.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the TM5SBER2 on a DIN rail in a vertical or horizontal orientation. For horizontal installation without derating, ambient temperature must be 32 to 131 °F (0 to 55 °C). Use shielded cables for optimal EMC performance, as the module meets EN/IEC 61000-4-6 standards. Ensure the bus length does not exceed 8202.10 ft and cable distance between devices stays under 328.08 ft.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the TM5SBER2 for dust accumulation, as the IP20 rating (per IEC 61131-2) allows some ingress but requires clean environments. Check LED indicators: green for power, red for bus current or power faults, yellow for communication activity. The module withstands vibration up to 1 gn at 8.4 to 150 Hz on DIN rail and shock up to 15 gn for 11 ms, ensuring long-term reliability.

Compatible Systems

The TM5SBER2 integrates with Modicon M258 logic controllers and LMC058 motion controllers. It is designed for the Modicon TM5 range, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with TM5 I/O modules. For system expansion, verify controller firmware supports remote I/O communication.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm your controller model (M258 or LMC058) and verify bus length requirements. The TM5SBER2 is available from BluePLC Industrial, a trusted supplier of industrial automation parts. Check current lifecycle status and availability with BluePLC Industrial before placing an order.
