Core Technical Specifications

The TSXDSY16S4 discrete output module provides sixteen independent solid-state outputs for controlling field actuators and indicators. This unit measures 140 millimeters in height, 40 millimeters in width, and 140 millimeters in depth, with a total weight of approximately 0.36 kilograms. Each output channel delivers a continuous load current of 2 amperes at 24 volts DC with built-in overload protection. The module includes individual channel isolation and short-circuit current limiting for enhanced system reliability.

Output Performance and Protection Features

This module switches outputs on and off within a 1-millisecond scan cycle for rapid response applications. Each output channel includes independent short-circuit protection that limits current to 3 amperes maximum. The TSXDSY16S4 also provides overtemperature shutdown to prevent damage from prolonged overload conditions. It includes built-in surge suppression circuitry for inductive load applications like relays and solenoids. The module reports individual channel fault status through a dedicated diagnostic word.

Physical Installation and Connectivity

You can mount this single-slot module directly into any standard Premium backplane. Its front panel includes a 25-pin D-sub connector for all field output terminations. The unit’s 40-millimeter width allows dense installation in space-constrained control cabinets. LED indicators display power, output activation, and fault states for quick visual diagnostics. The module’s rugged construction meets IP20 protection requirements for indoor industrial environments.

Memory Resources and Data Handling

The TSXDSY16S4 stores output state data in 1 kilobyte of internal dual-port RAM for fast processor access. It retains configuration parameters in 512 bytes of non-volatile EEPROM memory. This module maps each output to a specific bit address within the controller’s I/O table. It automatically synchronizes its memory map with the main processor during system startup. The unit also maintains fault logs for the last five recorded error events.

Power Distribution and Environmental Tolerance

This module draws a typical current of 150 milliamperes from the 5-volt DC backplane supply. It also requires a separate 24-volt DC field power source rated at a minimum of 2 amperes. The TSXDSY16S4 operates reliably across temperatures from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. It withstands humidity levels from 5% to 95% without any risk of condensation. The unit’s photocoupler isolation withstands 1500 volts between the field outputs and the logic bus.

Configuration and Operational Flexibility

You can enable or disable each output channel independently using software configuration tools. The module supports both continuous and pulsed output modes for various load types. It provides programmable output delays to accommodate switching devices with different response times. You can also configure the default output state for each channel in case of communication loss. This feature ensures fail-safe behavior for critical applications without manual intervention.
