This bus coupler module acts as a communication gateway between the controller and distributed I/O stations. The Schneider TSXSAY100 connects seamlessly to the Fipio fieldbus network for real-time data exchange. It supports up to 32 remote I/O drops per coupler, significantly expanding system capacity. The module handles both digital and analog I/O signals without requiring additional adapters. Its integrated scanning engine manages bus cycle times efficiently, ensuring deterministic performance for time-critical processes.
Mechanical Specifications and Mounting Flexibility
The TSXSAY100 measures 105 mm in height, 85 mm in depth, and 40 mm in width. This compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained control enclosures. The unit weighs approximately 0.35 kg, which facilitates easy DIN-rail mounting. A rugged polycarbonate housing provides reliable protection against mechanical stress and contamination. This housing meets IP20 requirements for standard industrial panel installations.

Communication Interface and Connectivity Details
A 9-pin D-sub connector serves as the primary fieldbus interface on the front panel. This connector supports shielded twisted-pair cabling for enhanced noise immunity. The module also includes a dedicated programming port for configuration and diagnostics. Two status LEDs indicate bus activity and communication error conditions clearly. A rotary address switch allows simple node identification assignment during setup. The backplane connector transfers data to the central processing unit at high speed.
Power Requirements and Energy Storage
The Schneider TSXSAY100 draws 150 mA from the 5 VDC backplane supply. It also requires a 24 VDC external supply for the bus transceiver circuitry. An internal 100 µF capacitor provides temporary energy storage for ride-through capability. This capacitor ensures uninterrupted communication during supply voltage dips lasting up to 5 ms. Total power consumption measures 3.8 W under normal operating conditions.
Internal Component Architecture
The module contains a dedicated fieldbus controller ASIC for protocol processing. This ASIC offloads communication tasks from the main processor significantly. A 256 KB flash memory stores the firmware and configuration parameters. The TSXSAY100 also includes 64 KB of SRAM for data buffering and message queuing. Eight surface-mount quartz oscillators provide stable clock signals for timing-critical operations. The PCB accommodates 96 resistors and 32 ceramic capacitors for signal conditioning.
Operational Environment and Safety Compliance
This bus coupler operates reliably from -25 °C to +70 °C ambient temperature. It withstands humidity levels between 5% and 95% without any condensation. The TSXSAY100 conforms to IEC 61131-2 and EN 50170 standards rigorously. These certifications ensure interoperability with other Fipio-compliant devices.
