Technical Overview
The Schneider TSXLES20 is a local rackmaster module designed to control local I/O extensions within the Telemecanique TSX 7 and Modicon TSX Micro PLC platforms . This unit enables system expansion by managing data exchange between the main processor and additional I/O racks, thereby increasing overall I/O capacity .
The module performs two-way data conversion: it transforms parallel data from I/O modules into serial data for transmission to the processor, and conversely, converts serial data from the processor into parallel data for the modules . A RUN LED (green) indicates normal operation, while an I/O LED (red) signals a fault in the controlled rack(s) . The module installs in the slot marked M, located to the right of the power supply module, and requires a code number setting of 890 on the rack backplane .

Key Features
Local I/O Rack Expansion – This module enables connection of additional I/O racks to the PLC system, increasing the maximum number of I/O points supported by the processor .
Two-Way Data Conversion – The module converts parallel I/O data into serial format for transmission to the processor, and converts serial data back into parallel for the I/O modules .
Diagnostic LED Indication – The RUN (green) and I/O (red) LEDs provide immediate visual feedback on module and rack status, simplifying troubleshooting .
Flexible Cable Connector Options – The module supports TSX LES 61/62/64/65 cable connectors for versatile system architecture, including end-of-line terminator installation .
Serial Link Communication – A screened twisted pair cable up to 30 meters connects the module to the processor, enabling flexible rack placement .
Applications
The Schneider TSXLES20 excels in local I/O extension applications for Telemecanique TSX 7 and Modicon TSX Micro systems . It is ideal for machine control, manufacturing automation, and legacy system maintenance where additional I/O capacity is required. The module remains valuable for retrofit projects and system upgrades in existing Schneider Electric installations .
