What Is the TSX3722001?
When your automation system demands a reliable and compact control solution, the Schneider Electric TSX3722001 modular base controller from the TSX Micro PLCs series delivers. This unit integrates seamlessly into the Modicon TSX Micro automation platform, providing essential processing and communication capabilities for a wide range of industrial applications.
Key Technical Specifications
The TSX3722001 operates on a primary voltage of 100-240 V AC (90-264 V AC), ensuring flexibility across different power environments. It draws a minimal input current of 2 mA with a maximum capacity of less than 60 A, while output current is rated at 0.5 A. The controller includes 20 Kwords of internal RAM for data, expandable to 128 Kwords for program and data when using a PCMCIA card. Its real-time clock supports time-sensitive operations, and the system overhead for the master task is just 2.3 ms.
Industry Applications
In manufacturing lines, the TSX3722001 manages discrete control tasks such as conveyor sequencing and machine interlocking. Its 1 fast task, 1 master task, and 16 event tasks allow precise handling of time-critical processes. The built-in Modbus RTU and Uni-Telway serial links at 19.2 kbit/s enable straightforward integration with HMIs, drives, and sensors. For packaging or material handling, the controller's overload and short-circuit protection ensure uptime and safety.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the TSX3722001 in a clean, dry enclosure within the specified ambient air temperature range of 0 to 60 °C. Ensure the primary voltage supply matches the 100-240 V AC range. Connect the serial link (TER/AUX) for Uni-Telway or Modbus RTU communication using appropriate cabling. Verify that the total useful secondary power does not exceed 24 W. Always follow Schneider Electric's guidelines for electrostatic discharge precautions, as the unit complies with IEC 1000-4-2 Level 3.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine inspection of the TSX3722001 should include checking for dust accumulation on the enclosure and ensuring proper ventilation. The controller's immunity to microbreaks of less than 20 ms helps maintain operation during brief power disturbances. With a storage temperature range of -25 to 70 °C, the unit withstands harsh environments when not in use. Periodic verification of the real-time clock and communication links helps prevent unexpected downtime.
Compatibility & Integration
The TSX3722001 integrates with other Modicon TSX Micro automation platform components. Its integrated connection type includes 1 serial link (TER/AUX) for Uni-Telway and 1 Modbus RTU link, both at 19.2 kbit/s. This allows connection to Schneider Electric PLCs, drives, and third-party devices supporting these protocols. The controller supports up to 256 %Mi inputs, 1 %MWi internal words, and 128 %KWi constant words for flexible programming.
Buying Guide
Before purchasing the TSX3722001, verify your system's voltage requirements and available slots. The unit has 3 slots for expansion modules. Confirm that your application's memory needs align with the 20 Kwords internal RAM (expandable with PCMCIA card).
