Product Overview
When you need reliable AS-Interface communication in a compact form, the Schneider Electric TSXSAZ10 delivers. This AS-Interface master module integrates seamlessly with the TSX Micro PLCs series. It manages up to 31 server devices, making it ideal for medium-sized automation systems. With 4 discrete inputs and 4 discrete outputs, it handles basic I/O tasks efficiently.
Technical Specifications
The TSXSAZ10 operates on AS-Interface version V1 with a standard addressing option. It uses the AS-Interface cabling system for easy wiring. The module supports up to 31 server devices and provides 4 discrete inputs and 4 discrete outputs. Power comes directly from the host platform, simplifying installation. The IP20 rating suits controlled indoor environments. It operates from 0 to 60 °C and stores from -25 to 70 °C. Relative humidity tolerance ranges from 5% to 95% non-condensing.
Industry Applications
In packaging lines, the TSXSAZ10 connects sensors and actuators to a TSX Micro PLC, enabling fast product sorting. In material handling, it manages conveyor zone control with up to 31 devices, reducing wiring complexity. Its compact size and IP20 protection fit well in electrical cabinets.
Installation and Setup
Mount the TSXSAZ10 on a DIN rail inside an IP20-rated enclosure. Connect the AS-Interface cable to the terminal block. The module draws power from the host PLC backplane, so no external supply is needed. Set device addresses using standard AS-Interface addressing. Verify communication with the master before commissioning.
Maintenance and Reliability
Periodically inspect the module for dust buildup and ensure ambient temperature stays within 0 to 60 °C. Check cable connections for looseness. The non-condensing humidity range (5% to 95%) allows operation in moderate environments. No special cleaning is required beyond routine cabinet maintenance.
Compatibility and Integration
The TSXSAZ10 works exclusively with the TSX Micro PLCs platform. It uses the AS-Interface cabling system and supports up to 31 standard server devices. The module connects discrete I/Os (4 inputs, 4 outputs). It complies with IEC 61131-2 and IEC 60068-2 standards for vibration and shock.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, confirm your host PLC is a TSX Micro model. Verify the AS-Interface version (V1) matches your network. The TSXSAZ10 does not include cables or power supplies—order those separately.
