Product Introduction
When your automation system demands reliable discrete output control, the Schneider Electric TSXDSY16T2 delivers consistent performance. This discrete output module is part of the trusted TSX Micro PLCs product line, designed to handle 16 solid-state protected outputs. Operating at a discrete output voltage of 24 V DC (19...30 V positive conforming to EN/IEC 61131-2), it provides a robust solution for various industrial applications. The module sources up to 0.5 A per channel, ensuring adequate drive capability for actuators, relays, and indicators.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The TSXDSY16T2 offers several key technical parameters that define its performance. Its switching frequency is rated at 0.5/LI² Hz, accommodating varying signal requirements. The response time is a swift 1.2 ms, enabling effective real-time control and feedback. Residual voltage remains below 1.2 V, and leakage current is less than 0.5 mA at state 0, ensuring clean switching and minimal power loss. The module supports a maximum current per channel of 0.625 A and a total current per module of 7 A, providing ample capacity for demanding loads.
Protection features are integral to the design. Short-circuit protection and output overload protection both use electronic tripping on reactivation, preventing damage from fault conditions. Reverse polarity protection is provided by a reverse mounted diode, while output overvoltage protection uses a transil diode. These safeguards enhance operational safety and longevity.
Industry Applications
In manufacturing environments, the TSXDSY16T2 excels at controlling solenoid valves, motor contactors, and indicator lights. Its 16 solid-state outputs make it suitable for batch processing lines where multiple actuators need coordinated switching. The module's fast 1.2 ms response time supports high-speed sorting and packaging applications. For material handling systems, the reliable 24 V DC output ensures compatibility with standard industrial sensors and actuators, reducing integration complexity.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the TSXDSY16T2 module into a standard TSX Micro PLC rack using the provided screw terminal block for electrical connections. Ensure the power supply provides 24 V DC within the 19...30 V range. Verify that the total current draw across all 16 channels does not exceed 7 A, with each channel limited to 0.625 A. The module consumes 80 mA at 5 V DC from the backplane. Operate within an ambient air temperature of 32...140 °F (0...60 °C) and maintain relative humidity between 10...95% without condensation. The IP20 degree of protection requires installation in a clean, dry enclosure.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine inspection of the TSXDSY16T2 should focus on verifying that all output channels are functioning correctly and that the module's protective features have not been triggered. Check for any signs of overheating or physical damage. The module's solid-state design eliminates mechanical wear, reducing maintenance needs. Its protective treatment (TC) and compliance with standards such as UL 508 and IEC 61131-2 ensure reliable operation in industrial environments. For long-term reliability, keep the module within its specified operating altitude of 0...2000 m and pollution degree 2.
Compatibility & Integration
The TSXDSY16T2 integrates seamlessly with Schneider Electric's TSX Micro PLCs platform. It connects via the backplane and is controlled by the PLC's discrete output commands. The module is certified with multiple marine and industrial approvals including DNV, RMRS, GL, BV, ABS, RINA, and LR, making it suitable for demanding applications. It also meets standards such as CSA C22.2 No 213 (Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D) and carries CE marking. The 16 outputs are electrically isolated with isolation resistance greater than 10 MOhm at 500 V, and dielectric strength of 1500 V at 50/60 Hz for 60 seconds.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering the TSXDSY16T2, verify that your system uses the TSX Micro PLCs series and that the backplane can accommodate this standard-format module. Confirm that your application's load requirements fall within the 0.5 A per channel and 7 A per module limits. The module's weight is 1.00 lbs (0.45 kg), and it has an EAN of 3389110717600.
