do for your business...
The ModiconTM M258 Logic controller is a compact, high-performance, and fully expandable PLC. It is a part of our
Flexible Machine Control approach, a key component of our MachineStruxureTM solution which offers you maximum
flexibility and optimized control of your machines. With features such as speed control, counting, axis control, and
communication functions, the Modicon M258 Logic Controller is developed specifically for machine builders (OEMs) in
the packaging, conveying/storage, textile, and woodworking machine industries.
