Product Introduction
In applications requiring precise auxiliary input handling, the Schneider TSXCTY2C provides reliable current sink auxiliary input for TSX Micro PLCs. This module conforms to EN/IEC 61131 standards and integrates seamlessly with various sensor types. It avoids common failure modes such as signal loss by maintaining strict voltage thresholds and fast response times.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The TSXCTY2C offers 2 channels with a counting frequency of 1 MHz. Key parameters include:
-
Input Voltage: 24 V DC (18 mA sensors, 7 mA auxiliary, 18 mA encoder)
-
Voltage Limits: Encoder ≤5.5 V; Sensors/Auxiliary 19-30 V
-
Voltage State 1: ≥11 V for sensors/auxiliary, ≥2.4 V for encoder
-
Current State 1: ≥6 mA sensors/auxiliary, ≥3.6 mA encoder
-
Response Time: <2.5 ms at loss of 24 V auxiliary input
-
Power Dissipation: 7 to 10 W
Applications
The TSXCTY2C excels in automated assembly lines and packaging systems where encoder feedback and proximity sensor signals require fast, accurate auxiliary input. For example, in high-speed counting applications, the module's 1 MHz counting frequency ensures no missed pulses. Its robust voltage thresholds prevent false triggering from noise, reducing downtime.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the module in a standard TSX Micro PLC rack. Use the HE-10 20-pin connector for auxiliary inputs and SUB-D 15 connectors for sensor/encoder wiring. Ensure supply voltage is within 19-30 V for sensors and auxiliary inputs. For encoders, keep voltage ≤5.5 V DS422. Avoid routing signal cables near high-power lines to maintain signal integrity.
Selection Guide
Before purchasing the TSXCTY2C, verify compatibility with your TSX Micro PLC base and existing sensor types. The module supports 2/3-wire PNP/NPN proximity sensors and incremental encoders (10-30 V totem pole or 5 V RS422).
