Product Overview
When analog output signals must be precise and reliable in demanding industrial environments, the Schneider Electric TSXASY800 delivers consistent performance. Part of the TSX Micro PLC series, this module provides eight analog output channels that support both voltage and current signals. With a 12-bit resolution and ±0.1% of full scale accuracy, it ensures your control loops maintain tight tolerances. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or building a new automation cell, the TSXASY800 offers the dependability expected from Schneider Electric.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Output Type and Ranges
The TSXASY800 outputs either voltage or current signals. The voltage output range is 0 to 10 V, while the current output range is 0 to 20 mA. Additionally, the module supports 4...20 mA current output and ±10 V voltage output, making it versatile for various transducer and actuator requirements.
Resolution and Accuracy
Resolution is 12-bit, providing fine granularity for analog signals. Accuracy is ±0.1% of full scale, minimizing deviation from the commanded value. For voltage outputs, the analog-to-digital conversion uses 13 bits + sign, and measurement resolution is 1.28 mV for ±10 V range. For current outputs, measurement resolution is 2.56 µA for both 0...20 mA and 4...20 mA ranges.
Power and Isolation
The module requires a 24 V DC power supply and consumes 5 W. Isolation between channels and ground is 500 V, reducing ground loop interference. Isolation between channels and bus is 1000 Vrms, and between channels and ground also 1000 Vrms. This robust isolation protects sensitive electronics in harsh industrial settings.
Environmental Durability
Operating temperature range is 0 to 60°C, and storage temperature range is -40 to 85°C. Humidity tolerance is 5 to 95% non-condensing. The module carries an IP20 degree of protection and is rated for pollution degree 2 environments. It also meets standards such as UL 508, IEC 61131-2, and CSA C22.2 No 213 for hazardous locations (Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D).
Industry Applications
Process Control
In chemical or pharmaceutical plants, the TSXASY800 controls valves, dampers, and variable frequency drives with precision. The 0 to 20 mA current output drives standard 4-20 mA loop-powered devices, while the 0 to 10 V output interfaces with many PLC analog input modules. The 1 ms per channel response time ensures timely adjustments to process variables.
Machine Automation
For packaging or material handling machinery, the TSXASY800 provides the analog outputs needed for servo drives, proportional valves, and analog meters. Its compact form factor (standard module format) fits easily into TSX Micro racks, and the SUB-D 25 connector simplifies wiring. The module includes short-circuit and overload protection, enhancing reliability in high-cycle applications.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the TSXASY800 into any standard slot of a TSX Micro PLC backplane. Connect the 24 V DC power supply to the module’s power terminals. Use a shielded twisted-pair cable for analog signals to minimize noise. For current outputs, ensure the load impedance is less than 600 ohms (for 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA). For voltage outputs, load impedance must be greater than 1000 ohms. The module’s response time is 1 ms per channel, so plan your control loop update rates accordingly.
Maintenance and Reliability
From a maintenance engineer’s perspective, the TSXASY800 is built for long service life. The module’s isolation (500 V between channels and ground) and protection features reduce failure risks. Regularly inspect the SUB-D 25 connector for corrosion or loose pins. Keep the ambient temperature within 0 to 60°C and humidity below 95% non-condensing. The module’s IP20 rating means it should be installed in a clean, dry enclosure. No internal adjustments are needed; if a channel fails, replace the module. SpareTechPLC stocks the TSXASY800 for quick replacement.
Compatibility and Integration
The TSXASY800 is designed for the Modicon Premium Automation platform and TSX Micro PLCs. It connects via a single SUB-D 25 connector. The module is compatible with Schneider Electric’s PL7 Pro software for configuration. It carries CE marking and certifications from BV, RINA, DNV, LR, ABS, RMRS, and GL, making it suitable for marine and offshore applications.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify that your PLC backplane has an available slot and that your power supply can provide 200 mA at 5 V DC and 300 mA at 24 V DC. The TSXASY800 weighs approximately 1.00 lb (0.45 kg) and ships in a package measuring 10.2 x 7.09 x 2.2 inches. SpareTechPLC offers this module with fast shipping and expert support.
