PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 functions as a discrete output module for the Modicon TSX Premium automation platform. This module features eight solid-state triac outputs with built-in protection for AC load control. We supply this output module to support your existing TSX Premium installations. Note that BMXDAO1605 now replaces this model for new system designs.

Technical Specifications and Physical Characteristics

Understanding the exact specifications of the Schneider TSXDSY08S5 ensures proper integration into your TSX Premium control system. This module features robust triac output protection for reliable AC load switching.

Output Channel Configuration and Electrical Ratings

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 provides eight discrete output channels for AC load control. Its 2 Amp rating per point suits various industrial applications.

• Number of Outputs: The module contains eight independent solid-state output channels. Each channel controls an external AC load up to 2 Amps.

• Output Type: Triac outputs provide silent, maintenance-free switching of AC loads. Therefore, they eliminate contact wear found in electromechanical relays.

• Voltage Range: The outputs accept 48 to 240 Volts AC nominal operating voltage. This wide range suits global industrial control applications.

• Output Current: Each channel switches up to 2 Amps continuous current. Consequently, it directly controls contactors, solenoids, and indicators.

• Surge Current: Triac outputs handle brief inrush currents from inductive loads. This ensures reliable startup of motors and transformers.

Protection Features and Output Isolation

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 includes comprehensive protection for reliable operation in industrial environments. Built-in circuits safeguard both the module and connected loads.

• Triac Protection: Internal snubber circuits protect outputs from voltage transients. This extends module life when switching inductive AC loads.

• Isolation Voltage: Optical isolation separates field outputs from logic circuits. Therefore, backplane electronics remain safe from field voltage spikes.

• Channel Isolation: Output channels share common groupings with isolation between groups. This prevents faults on one channel from affecting all outputs.

• Short Circuit Protection: The module withstands momentary output short circuits. Fusing may require external overcurrent protection for sustained faults.

• Leakage Current: Triac outputs exhibit minimal off-state leakage current. This prevents accidental activation of sensitive loads.

Terminal Block and Wiring Specifications

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 uses a screw terminal block for secure field wiring connections. This design simplifies installation and maintenance procedures.

• Connection Type: A removable screw terminal block accepts field wiring connections. Therefore, you can pre-wire the connector before module installation.

• Wire Size: The terminals accept solid or stranded copper wire appropriately. Standard sizes from AWG #14 to AWG #22 suit panel wiring.

• Terminal Identification: Clearly marked terminals indicate output channel assignments. This reduces wiring errors during installation and troubleshooting.

• Screw Type: Captive screws ensure reliable connections that resist vibration. They remain with the terminal block for easy handling.

• Wire Ferrules: You may use wire ferrules for stranded wire termination. This prevents strand fraying and ensures reliable terminal contact.

Power Requirements and Backplane Interface

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 draws power from the TSX Premium backplane for its logic circuits. Field power comes from the external AC source.

• Backplane Current: The module consumes a specific current from the +5 VDC supply. Therefore, verify adequate power budget before installation.

• Logic Supply: Internal circuits derive power from the rack backplane only. This isolates logic from field power for safety.

• Field Power: Outputs require external AC power from the user supply. The module does not provide power to field devices.

• Status Indicators: Front-panel LEDs show the status of each individual output channel. This simplifies troubleshooting during machine operation.

• Fuse Location: External fusing protects each output or group as required. The module itself does not include internal output fuses.

Switching Characteristics and Performance

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 provides specific switching performance for AC load control. These characteristics affect application suitability.

• Turn-On Time: Triac outputs turn on within a half-cycle of the AC waveform. Therefore, they provide rapid response to control commands.

• Turn-Off Time: Outputs turn off at the next zero-crossing after signal removal. This reduces electromagnetic interference during switching.

• Zero-Crossing Detection: Some models include zero-crossing switching for reduced stress. This minimizes inrush current when switching resistive loads.

• Switching Frequency: The module suits low-frequency switching applications typically. It does not support high-speed pulsed outputs.

• Minimum Load: Triac outputs may require minimum load current for proper operation. Check specifications for your specific application requirements.

Environmental Specifications and Operating Conditions

The Schneider TSXDSY08S5 operates reliably across a wide range of environmental conditions. Its robust design suits demanding industrial automation applications.

• Operating Temperature: The module functions from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. This range accommodates most industrial control cabinet environments.

• Storage Temperature: It withstands storage from -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. This tolerance ensures survival during shipping and warehouse storage.

• Humidity Rating: The module operates at 5% to 95% relative humidity without condensation. Therefore, it resists moisture-related failures.

• Vibration Resistance: It withstands standard industrial vibration levels during operation. This ensures reliable performance near rotating machinery.

• Shock Resistance: The module tolerates typical industrial shock during operation. This protects against damage during installation and maintenance.

System Integration and Replacement Information

Integrating the Schneider TSXDSY08S5 into your TSX Premium system requires straightforward installation. For new applications, consider the BMXDAO1605 replacement module.

• Rack Compatibility: The module fits any TSX Premium rack with available I/O slots. It occupies a single slot position in the chassis.

• CPU Compatibility: It works with all TSX Premium series CPU processors. Therefore, you can use it in existing systems without changes.

• Programming: You configure output channels through TSX Premium programming software. This assigns addresses and sets default states.

• Replacement Part: Schneider Electric now offers BMXDAO1605 as the direct replacement. This newer module provides enhanced features and availability.
