This line terminator ensures proper signal reflection control on Fipio fieldbus networks. The Schneider TSXTLYEX connects at both physical ends of the communication cable. It prevents data corruption caused by impedance mismatches in long bus runs. The module actively stabilizes voltage levels across the transmission medium. This passive device requires no external power or software configuration for operation.
Mechanical Dimensions and Construction Quality
The line terminator measures 85 mm in height, 65 mm in depth, and 30 mm in width. This compact size allows installation in tight cable ducts and junction boxes. Weighing only 0.15 kg, the TSXTLYEX places minimal strain on mounted cables. A durable polycarbonate housing protects the internal resistor network from physical damage. This housing meets IP20 requirements for indoor industrial environments.

Interface and Connectivity Features
A 9‑pin D‑sub female connector provides the physical interface to the Fipio network. This connector uses standard pin assignments for easy integration with existing cabling. The terminator plugs directly into the bus connector at each cable end. Shielded twisted‑pair cables deliver optimal signal integrity with this device.
Internal Component Architecture
Two precision 150 Ω resistors form the core of this termination network. These resistors have a 1% tolerance for accurate impedance matching. The resistors mount securely on a small PCB inside the molded housing. The printed circuit board contains no active components or energy storage elements. This passive design eliminates the need for external power or maintenance.
Operational Principles and Network Benefits
The Schneider TSXTLYEX absorbs signal reflections that cause data transmission errors. It matches the characteristic impedance of the Fipio cable precisely. Proper termination prevents ringing and overshoot on long bus segments. This device also reduces electromagnetic emissions from unterminated cable ends. Reliable network operation requires terminators at both physical ends of the bus.
Environmental Performance and Certifications
This line terminator operates reliably from -25 °C to +70 °C in harsh conditions. It also withstands humidity between 5% and 95% without condensation issues. The TSXTLYEX complies with EN 50170 and IEC 61131‑2 standards. These certifications ensure compatibility with all Fipio‑compliant automation devices.
