PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The Schneider TSX3710DC digital input module captures signals for TSX Micro PLC systems. This unit weighs 0.42 kg and measures 14.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 7.5 cm. It provides 16 discrete digital inputs at 24V DC operation. The module contains 16 opto-isolators and one real-time clock. For energy storage, it includes one 220µF electrolytic capacitor. Consequently, the Schneider TSX3710DC maintains input states during 10 ms power interruptions.

Technical Specifications

The table below lists all verified parameters for the Schneider TSX3710DC. Use this data for your system integration planning.

Digital Input Features

The Schneider TSX3710DC offers 16 discrete inputs at 24V DC nominal voltage. Each input uses a dedicated opto-isolator for electrical separation. The voltage range spans 19.2 to 30V DC for flexible field device compatibility. Consequently, you can connect standard industrial sensors without external level converters. The typical input current sits at just 2 mA per channel.

Output and Timekeeping Features

This module provides 12 relay outputs for direct actuator control. Therefore, you can drive contactors, solenoids, and pilot lights without extra modules. The real-time clock maintains accurate timestamps for events and alarms. Hence, the Schneider TSX3710DC suits time-stamped data logging applications perfectly. The RTC runs on an internal battery for continuous operation.

Power Interruption Immunity

The Schneider TSX3710DC tolerates power interruptions up to 10 milliseconds. The 220µF electrolytic capacitor stores enough energy for this duration. Thus, the module continues operating through brief voltage sags or micro-breaks. The inputs do not change state during these short interruptions. Consequently, your control system receives stable and reliable input data.

Installation and Slot Configuration

This module occupies 2 slots in a TSX Micro PLC rack. You can mount the Schneider TSX3710DC on a standard DIN rail. Alternatively, secure it with M4 screws through its mounting tabs. The 16 inputs and 12 outputs connect through removable terminal blocks. For best performance, use shielded cables for long input runs. The Schneider TSX3710DC works seamlessly with the RMS-TSG-TZ-C static trip unit.

Environmental Durability

This digital input module operates reliably from 0°C to +55°C. It also withstands 95% relative humidity without condensation. The module survives vibration up to 1.5g from 10 to 150 Hz. Therefore, the Schneider TSX3710DC suits most industrial control cabinets perfectly.
