Product Introduction
When older micro PLCs struggle with processing speed or connectivity, the Schneider TSXP57103M presents a modern upgrade. Designed as a direct replacement for legacy TSX series processors, this non-isolated serial link module with 2 female mini DIN connectors operating at 19.2 kbit/s brings enhanced performance and flexibility to control systems. Part of the Modicon Premium automation platform, the TSXP57103M integrates seamlessly into existing architectures while offering expanded memory and I/O capacity.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The Schneider TSXP57103M houses 32 Kwords of internal RAM dedicated to data processing, with an additional 128 Kwords via a PCMCIA card. It supports inrush currents of 38 A at both 240 V and 100 V, ensuring stable startup in demanding environments. The module can be configured with up to two racks of 12 slots or four racks of 4/6/8 slots, accommodating up to 512 discrete I/O and 24 analogue I/O. Its execution time is 0.5 µs per Boolean instruction without PCMCIA card, and it processes 1.05 Kinst/ms (65% Boolean + 35% fixed arithmetic) under the same condition. The integrated connection type is a non-isolated serial link with 2 female mini DIN ports running at 19.2 kbit/s.

Application Scenarios
In packaging lines, the Schneider TSXP57103M replaces outdated controllers to improve throughput through faster logic execution and expanded I/O handling. For conveyor systems with multiple zones, its flexible rack configuration allows up to 512 discrete I/O points, making it suitable for distributed control. In water treatment plants, the module's ability to support one network module, two AS-Interface bus modules, and one CANopen enables seamless integration with existing fieldbus networks. These upgrades reduce downtime and extend system life without full rewiring.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the Schneider TSXP57103M in a standard DIN-rail enclosure (IP20 protection). Ensure the module is powered via a 5 V DC supply capable of delivering 440 mA. Connect the two female mini DIN ports with compatible serial cables rated for 19.2 kbit/s. Use PL7 Junior/Pro software for programming and configuration. When adding racks, verify that the total slot count does not exceed 32 slots (2 racks of 12 slots or 4 racks of 8 slots). For expansion, insert the optional PCMCIA card into the slot to increase data storage to 128 Kwords and program memory to 64 Kwords.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the Schneider TSXP57103M, confirm that your system requires a non-isolated serial link with dual female mini DIN connectors at 19.2 kbit/s. Verify compatibility with your existing power supply (5 V DC, 440 mA). For replacement of older Modicon or TSX series processors, ensure the rack configuration and I/O count match your layout.
