With scalable and flexible Modicon controllers, MachineStruxure delivers!
The Modicon M221 controller embeds all the features
and functions you need to increase your bottom line!
Embedded functionality delivers greater profitability – and in the Modicon M221 it’s all standard.
Designed for machines with hardwired controller architectures, the Modicon M221 is one of the fastest
and most compact controllers in its class.

You can transfer applications from old to new control platforms and reuse existing codes, reducing development
time to increase your bottom line. You can even batch-configure controllers right in the boxes they come in!

Deliver benchmark performance while reducing costs!

SoMachine Basic: Simplified engineering
tool for the Modicon M221 controller!
SoMachine is the universal programming software for machines
automated by MachineStruxure controllers
But who says that all programs all have to be engineered using the same program editor regardless
of their complexity?

This is where SoMachine™ Basic comes into play - a simplified engineering tool for the new Modicon M221.
All programming, visualization, and commissioning are handled in just one intuitive tool that is available
as a free download. No training required!

See how easy and intuitive machine automation can be with SoMachine Basic
Need additional devices to suit your needs?
It couldn’t be easier – and you still keep
everything in just one configuration!
Thanks to the high degree of flexibility of the Modicon M221, it is very easy to add additional devices:
• Safety device
• TeSys™ SoLink motor starter
• Lexium™ servo drive
• Extensive line of analog and digital modules
