Product Introduction
When industrial automation demands a reliable and adaptable programmable controller, the Schneider TSX1702028 delivers robust performance. Part of the Modicon product line, this Industrial Automation Module handles 24 inputs/outputs with 24 VDC inputs and relay outputs. Its wide power supply range of 110 to 240 Volts AC allows seamless integration into diverse electrical environments, reducing the need for additional power conditioning equipment and lowering overall system costs.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The Schneider TSX1702028 offers key specifications that ensure stable operation:
-
Power Supply Voltage: 110 to 240 VAC — accepts common global voltages, simplifying installation.
-
Number of Inputs/Outputs: 24 I/O — balanced for small to medium control tasks.
-
Input Type: 24 VDC — compatible with standard industrial sensors.
-
Output Type: Relay output — provides reliable switching for actuators and motors.
-
Status Indicator Type: 5 LED indicators — enables quick visual diagnostics.
Additional parameters include supply frequency 50-60 Hz and frequency limit 47-63 Hz, allowing the Schneider TSX1702028 to tolerate grid variations. Ambient operating temperature ranges from 5 to 55°C, and storage from -25 to 70°C, with humidity tolerance 30% to 95% RH non-condensing.
Real-World Applications
-
Conveyor Control: The relay outputs of the Schneider TSX1702028 directly drive motor starters, while 24 VDC inputs interface with proximity sensors. The wide voltage fluctuation range (96-264 VAC) ensures consistent operation even in plants with dirty power.
-
Packaging Machinery: Use the 24 I/O points to manage wrapper actuators and label sensors. The 5 LED indicators provide immediate status feedback, reducing downtime during changeovers.
-
HVAC Systems: The TSX1702028 handles damper actuators and temperature sensors. Its tolerance to 55°C ambient makes it suitable for equipment enclosures near heat sources.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the Schneider TSX1702028 on a DIN rail within a clean, dry enclosure. Connect the 110-240 VAC supply to the designated terminals, observing proper grounding and safety disconnects. Wire each 24 VDC input to sensors using shielded cable for noise immunity. Relay outputs are potential-free; ensure load current does not exceed relay ratings. Set the supply frequency jumper (if present) to match local mains (50/60 Hz). The controller autodetects frequency within 47-63 Hz.
Maintenance & Reliability
The Schneider TSX1702028 requires minimal routine maintenance. Inspect the 5 LED indicators during operation; any abnormal pattern may indicate a fault. Periodically check terminal blocks for tightness and clean the enclosure vents to prevent dust buildup. The non-condensing humidity requirement (30-95% RH) suggests avoiding extreme moisture — use a cabinet heater in humid environments. With proper care, this controller delivers long service life, maximizing return on investment.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the TSX1702028, verify your system voltage (110-240 VAC) and I/O count. Ensure your sensors are 24 VDC and loads are compatible with relay outputs (resistive/inductive with proper flyback diodes). The controller is available from PLC Source PRO (ubest101), a reliable supplier of industrial automation spares. Confirm stock availability and shipping options to avoid project delays.
