What Is the TSXAEY1600?
When your automation system demands precise analog signal acquisition, the Schneider Electric TSXAEY1600 delivers. This standard analog input module belongs to the TSX Micro PLCs series and provides 16 high-level input channels. It supports multiple current and voltage ranges, including 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, ±10 V, 0-10 V, 0-5 V, and 1-5 V. The module uses 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion to ensure accurate measurement.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The TSXAEY1600 operates reliably in industrial environments. Its operating temperature range spans 0 to 60°C, while storage temperature extends from -25 to 70°C. Relative humidity for operation stays between 10% and 95% without condensation. The module draws 270 mA at 5 V DC and connects via two SUB-D 25 connectors. Input overvoltage protection covers -15 to 15 V at state 0 and -30 to 30 V at state 1. Isolation is rated at 1000 Vrms between channels and bus, and 1000 Vrms between channels and ground. Measurement error is only 0.1% of full scale at 25°C for voltage ranges. Fast read cycle time is 3 ms plus 3 ms per channel used, while nominal read cycle time is 51 ms.
Industry Applications
In process control and manufacturing environments, the TSXAEY1600 handles analog signals from sensors and transmitters. For example, in a water treatment plant, it can read 4-20 mA signals from flow meters and 0-10 V signals from pressure transducers. The module's 16 channels allow monitoring multiple points simultaneously, reducing the need for additional hardware. Its fast read cycle time supports applications requiring quick data updates, such as packaging lines or conveyor systems.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the TSXAEY1600 in a standard TSX Micro PLCs rack. Ensure the ambient temperature stays within 0 to 60°C and relative humidity remains between 10% and 95% without condensation. Connect analog field wiring to the two SUB-D 25 connectors. Verify input signals fall within the selected range: current (0-20 mA or 4-20 mA) or voltage (±10 V, 0-10 V, 0-5 V, or 1-5 V). The module provides input overvoltage protection up to -15 to 15 V at state 0 and -30 to 30 V at state 1. For best accuracy, calibrate the system at 25°C to achieve 0.1% of full scale measurement error.
Maintenance and Reliability
The TSXAEY1600 is built for long-term industrial use. Regularly inspect the SUB-D 25 connectors for secure connections and signs of corrosion. Keep the module within its specified operating temperature and humidity ranges to prevent drift. The module's isolation of 1000 Vrms between channels and bus, and 1000 Vrms between channels and ground, helps protect against electrical noise and ground loops. With proper care, the TSXAEY1600 provides reliable analog input processing for years.
Compatibility and Integration
The TSXAEY1600 is designed for the Schneider Electric TSX Micro PLCs platform. It integrates seamlessly with Modicon Premium Automation platform systems. The module communicates with the PLC backplane, requiring no additional protocol configuration. Ensure your PLC base supports standard modules. The TSXAEY1600 works with any TSX Micro PLCs CPU that accepts analog input modules.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before ordering the TSXAEY1600, verify your system's compatibility with the TSX Micro PLCs series. Confirm the required input types: current (0-20 mA or 4-20 mA) or voltage (±10 V, 0-10 V, 0-5 V, or 1-5 V). Check that your power supply can deliver 270 mA at 5 V DC. The module weighs 0.45 kg (1.00 lbs) and ships in a package measuring 26.000 cm x 18.000 cm x 5.500 cm. SpareTechPLC stocks the TSXAEY1600 and can advise on availability and lifecycle status. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with SpareTechPLC before ordering.
