Product Overview
When your control system demands reliable performance and flexible communication, the TSXP573623AM from Schneider Electric delivers. This micro PLC is part of the TSX Micro PLCs family, designed for sophisticated control applications. It integrates Ethernet TCP/IP connectivity via an RJ45 interface at 10/100 Mbit/s and a non-isolated serial link with two female mini-DIN connectors operating at 19.2 or 115 kbit/s. With support for up to 16 racks, this PLC handles extensive I/O operations efficiently.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Communication and Networking
The TSXP573623AM supports up to 2 fieldbus modules (reduced to 1 if CANopen is used) and up to 8 AS-Interface bus modules. This configuration provides extensive networking capabilities for distributed control architectures.
Processing Performance
Execution time per instruction is 0.12 µs for Boolean operations without a PCMCIA card. The PLC processes 4.49 K instructions per ms with a PCMCIA card and 6.57 K instructions per ms without one, ensuring rapid logic handling.
Memory and Storage
Internal RAM of 64 Kwords is available for program and data. Two PCMCIA slots allow expansion: one for a memory extension card and another for a communication card or a 384 Kwords program memory extension card. With a PCMCIA card, internal RAM expands to 80 Kwords of data.
I/O Capacity
The PLC supports 1024 discrete I/O and 128 analog I/O channels, making it suitable for complex control requirements. Maximum object areas include 30.5% MWi internal words, 32% KWi constant words, and 16384% Mi internal bits.
Application Structure
One master task, one fast task, and up to 64 event tasks enable effective management of complex processes. The device also controls 15 to 45 simple loops for process control.
Industry Applications
In manufacturing environments, the TSXP573623AM manages conveyor systems with its 1024 discrete I/O capacity, coordinating multiple sensors and actuators. For process control, its 128 analog I/O channels handle temperature and pressure monitoring across 45 simple loops. The Ethernet TCP/IP connectivity enables seamless integration with SCADA systems for real-time data exchange.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the TSXP573623AM in a clean, dry enclosure away from vibration. Connect the Ethernet TCP/IP cable to the RJ45 port for network communication. Use the non-isolated serial link for local programming or HMI connections. Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrical noise interference. Configure the application structure using the master task, fast task, and event tasks as needed.
Maintenance and Reliability
Regularly inspect the front panel LEDs to verify operational status. The RESET button initiates a cold start when required. Keep the PCMCIA slots clean and free from dust. Periodically check network connections for secure attachment. Following these practices extends service life and reduces downtime.
Compatibility and Integration
The TSXP573623AM integrates with Ethernet TCP/IP networks and supports fieldbus modules, including CANopen and AS-Interface. It works with Schneider Electric programming software for configuration and monitoring. The non-isolated serial link connects to programming terminals or operator interfaces.
Buying Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, verify that the TSXP573623AM meets your I/O requirements—1024 discrete and 128 analog channels. Confirm the need for PCMCIA memory or communication cards.
