Product Introduction
When precise analog output control is required in industrial automation, the Schneider Electric TSXASY800 delivers reliable performance. Part of the TSX Micro PLCs product line, this analog output module provides eight channels that can be configured for either voltage or current signals. It supports voltage output from 0 to 10 V and current output from 0 to 20 mA, making it versatile for various process control tasks.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The TSXASY800 offers 12-bit resolution for accurate signal generation, ensuring fine-grained control over output variables. Its accuracy is rated at ±0.1% of full scale, minimizing deviations in critical applications. The module requires a 24 V DC power supply and consumes 5 W during operation. For current outputs, a minimum load impedance of 500 ohms is recommended to maintain signal integrity. Isolation between channels and ground is rated at 500 V, reducing electrical interference risks. Response time per channel is 1 ms, enabling timely updates in dynamic control loops.
Industry Applications
In manufacturing environments, the TSXASY800 can control variable frequency drives or valve actuators by outputting 0-10 V signals for speed or position adjustments. For process industries like water treatment, the 0-20 mA current output is ideal for driving remote sensors or actuators over long distances, where current loops maintain signal accuracy despite cable resistance. The module's fast 1 ms response per channel supports applications requiring rapid setpoint changes, such as packaging or material handling systems.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the TSXASY800 in a standard TSX Micro PLC rack. Connect the 24 V DC power supply to the module's designated terminals. For voltage outputs, use the OUT_ANA_VOLT# terminals; for current outputs, use the OUT_ANA_CUR# terminals, with corresponding common (OUT_ANA_COM#) connections. Ensure load impedance for current outputs is less than 600 ohms (as per detailed specs) and greater than 1000 ohms for voltage outputs. The module uses a single SUB-D 25 connector for electrical connections. Operate within 0 to 60°C ambient temperature and 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity.
Maintenance & Reliability
The TSXASY800 includes short-circuit and overload protection, enhancing reliability in industrial settings. Its IP20 degree of protection suits clean, indoor environments. Periodic inspection of connections and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) helps maintain long-term performance. The module is designed for continuous operation with minimal maintenance, supporting uptime in critical processes.
Compatibility & Integration
This module is compatible with the Modicon Premium Automation platform and integrates seamlessly with TSX Micro PLC systems. It supports multiple output types: current (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) and voltage (±10 V). The 13-bit analog-to-digital conversion (with sign for voltage) provides additional resolution for demanding applications. The module is certified to standards including UL 508 and IEC 61131-2, and carries CE marking. For integration, refer to the terminal descriptions for proper wiring of analog outputs.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the TSXASY800, verify compatibility with your existing TSX Micro PLC rack and power supply. Confirm that your application requires 8 analog output channels with voltage (0-10 V) or current (0-20 mA) ranges. The module weighs approximately 1.00 lbs (0.45 kg) and comes in a single package. SpareTechPLC offers this module with reliable availability and support for industrial automation needs.
