Product Introduction
When you need a powerful and scalable controller to modernize legacy PLC systems, the Schneider TSXP574634M Unity processor delivers. Part of the Modicon Premium Automation platform, this double-format module integrates seamlessly into the TSX Micro PLCs family. It supports a maximum of eight racks with twelve slots each or up to sixteen racks with configurations of four, six, or eight slots, providing the modularity required for growing industrial control networks. Designed for Unity Pro software, the Schneider TSXP574634M is an ideal upgrade for older processors, offering enhanced memory and connectivity.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The Schneider TSXP574634M combines speed with robust I/O capacity. Key parameters include:
-
Current Consumption: 1880 mA at 5 V DC
-
Boolean Execution Time: 0.039–0.057 µs (without PCMCIA card)
-
Floating Points Execution Time: 0.55–0.63 µs
-
Internal RAM (with PCMCIA card): 2048 kB program, 440 kB data
-
Discrete I/O Capacity: Up to 2040 points
-
Analog I/O Capacity: Up to 256 points
-
Communication: Ethernet TCP/IP RJ45, USB (12 Mbit/s), RS485 serial mini-DIN (19.2 kbit/s)
-
System Overhead: Fast task 0.08 ms, Master task 1 ms
With a PCMCIA card, the processor gains an additional 16384 kB of data storage, making it suitable for complex applications requiring extensive recipe or trend data logging.
Industry Applications
The Schneider TSXP574634M excels in manufacturing and process automation where legacy TSX Micro PLCs need a performance boost. For example, in a packaging line with over 1000 discrete sensors and 50 analog inputs, the processor's 2040 I/O capacity and fast task overhead ensure real-time control without bottlenecks. In water treatment plants, the dual Ethernet and serial connectivity allow seamless integration with SCADA systems while maintaining deterministic control loops.
Compatibility & Integration
The Schneider TSXP574634M Unity processor works with Modicon Premium backplanes and I/O modules. It supports Ethernet TCP/IP (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) for network integration, a USB port for local programming, and an RS485 serial link for legacy device communication. The processor runs on Unity Pro software and is compatible with Concept and Transparent Ready frameworks. It can manage up to 8 communication modules (mix of Ethernet, serial, etc.) to expand connectivity.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Install the Schneider TSXP574634M in a double-format slot of a TSX Micro rack. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and the 5 V DC supply can provide 1880 mA. The front panel LEDs (RUN, ERR, I/O) offer immediate status feedback. For initial configuration, connect via USB or Ethernet to Unity Pro and load the application. When using a PCMCIA card, insert it into the card slot before power-up to expand data memory.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify that your existing rack system supports double-format modules and that you have the required power budget. The TSXP574634M is a new and surplus component available from UBEST Automation (ubest101.myshopify.com). Ensure your Unity Pro software version is compatible with this processor revision. If upgrading from a non-Unity processor, confirm the application can port to Unity Pro. For bulk requirements or expedited shipping, contact our sales team.
