Schneider TSXP573623M PLC: High-Capacity Discrete & Analog I/O Controller

Product Overview

This PLC from the TSX Micro PLCs series handles up to 1024 discrete I/O and 128 analog I/O, making it suitable for medium to large-scale control applications. Its robust architecture supports complex tasks with one master task, one fast task, and up to 64 event tasks.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The TSXP573623M offers several key performance metrics:

• Discrete I/O Processor Capacity: 1024 I/O
• Analogue I/O Processor Capacity: 128 I/O
• Execution Time per Instruction: 0.12 µs for Boolean without PCMCIA card
• Instructions per ms: 4.49 Kinst/ms with PCMCIA card (100% Boolean), 6.57 Kinst/ms without PCMCIA card
• Memory: Internal RAM of 64 Kwords for program and data; expands to 80 Kwords with PCMCIA card
• Process Control Channels: 15, supporting up to 45 simple loops

These specs enable the PLC to handle high-speed discrete logic and analog control loops efficiently. The 0.12 µs Boolean execution time ensures fast response in time-critical applications.

Industry Applications

Manufacturing Assembly Lines: The 1024 discrete I/O capacity allows the TSXP573623M to control numerous sensors and actuators on a large assembly line. Its fast Boolean execution minimizes cycle time.

Process Control:

Building Automation: The Ethernet TCP/IP connectivity enables integration with building management systems, while the non-isolated serial link supports legacy equipment.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the TSXP573623M on a DIN rail or panel using the provided slots. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Connect the power supply according to the manufacturer's specifications. Use the front panel RESET button to initiate a cold start after initial configuration. The multiple LEDs on the front panel provide visual status of operation and diagnostics.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regularly inspect the PLC for dust accumulation and ensure all connections are secure. The unit's robust design and use of PCMCIA memory cards allow easy upgrades without replacing the entire controller. Periodically verify that the internal RAM battery (if applicable) is functioning to preserve program data.

Compatibility & Integration

• Ethernet TCP/IP via RJ45 (10/100 Mbit/s)
• Non-isolated serial link (2 female mini DIN, 19.2/115 kbit/s)
• Fieldbus modules: Supports up to 2 fieldbus modules (1 if CANopen is used)
• AS-Interface bus modules: Up to 8 modules
• PCMCIA slots: 2 slots for memory and communication cards

It can be configured with up to 16 racks, allowing expansion for larger systems.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing the TSXP573623M, verify your system's I/O requirements and communication needs. Contact AutoDCSTech for current availability and to confirm compatibility with your existing TSX Micro system. We recommend ordering a spare PCMCIA memory card for program backup.
