Schneider Electric TSXAMZ600 Analog I/O Module

TSXAMZ600 Modicon TSX Micro Analog I/O Module

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric TSXAMZ600 analog I/O module extends the measurement and control capabilities of the Modicon TSX Micro automation platform. This module offers a balanced configuration with 4 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs, making it suitable for applications requiring both signal acquisition and actuation.

Specifically, the TSXAMZ600 supports multiple signal types. Inputs accept 4…20 mA, 0…20 mA, ±10 V, or 0…10 V. Outputs provide 4…20 mA, 0…20 mA, 0…10 V, or ±10 V. This flexibility allows you to connect a wide range of sensors, transmitters, and actuators without additional signal conditioning.

The module's 11-bit analog-to-digital conversion delivers reliable resolution for most industrial measurement tasks. Furthermore, the TSXAMZ600 offers 1000 V AC isolation between the I/O channels and the bus, protecting the controller from field-side faults. Although this product is non-stock, it remains a valuable option for maintaining existing TSX Micro installations.

Input Specifications and Performance

The TSXAMZ600 provides four analog inputs with versatile signal compatibility. For current signals, input impedance is 250 Ω, while voltage inputs present an impedance of 2.2 kΩ. The acquisition period is 16 ms for all input types, ensuring timely updates for your control application.

Measurement resolution varies by signal type but remains consistent with 11-bit conversion. For voltage signals (0…10 V or ±10 V), the resolution delivers adequate precision for typical process monitoring. For current signals (0…20 mA or 4…20 mA), the same 11-bit conversion applies, providing dependable readings for pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters.

Temperature drift for current inputs is 0.107% per 10 °C, while voltage inputs drift at 0.083% per 10 °C on the positive side and 0.068% on the negative side. These values ensure reasonable stability across the operating temperature range, making the TSXAMZ600 suitable for industrial environments with moderate temperature variations.

Output Specifications and Load Capabilities

The TSXAMZ600 includes two analog outputs for driving actuators. For current outputs (0…20 mA or 4…20 mA), the minimum load impedance is 0.6 Ω. For voltage outputs (±10 V or 0…10 V), the minimum load impedance is 2 kΩ. This wide compatibility allows you to connect various field devices, such as proportional valves, variable speed drives, and chart recorders.

Response time for both input and output channels is 400 µs, ensuring fast signal processing. The outputs include short-circuit protection for voltage outputs and current outputs, safeguarding the module from wiring faults.

The TSXAMZ600 draws 180 mA from the power supply, making it a moderate consumer within the TSX Micro system. Its compact dimensions and standard mounting compatibility allow easy integration into existing control cabinets.

Installation and Compatibility

The TSXAMZ600 is designed for the Modicon TSX Micro automation platform. It mounts directly onto the TSX Micro backplane, using the same mounting hardware as other TSX Micro modules. No special tools are required for installation.

Before installing the TSXAMZ600, ensure your power supply can handle the additional 180 mA load. Plan your wiring carefully to maintain signal integrity, especially for low-level signals like thermocouple or RTD replacements. Use shielded cables for analog signals to minimize electromagnetic interference.

The module is non-stock, so please account for additional lead time when ordering. Its country of origin is France (FR), and it carries an 18-month warranty from Schneider Electric.

Environmental Durability and Compliance

The TSXAMZ600 meets the environmental standards of its era. It offers 1000 V AC isolation voltage, providing robust protection between the I/O channels and the system bus. This isolation prevents ground loops and protects the controller from potential field-side faults.

The product is not applicable under the EU RoHS Directive, as it falls outside the legal scope. For WEEE compliance, the TSXAMZ600 requires proper disposal through specific waste collection channels in EU member states, never in household rubbish bins.

China RoHS declaration information is available for customers operating in the Chinese market. The product's returnability is not supported, so please verify your order quantities carefully before purchasing.

Packaging and Logistics

Each TSXAMZ600 module comes in a single-unit package weighing 0.24 kg. The packaging ensures safe transit and easy handling. For larger orders, bulk options may be available upon request.

All shipments go out via trusted global couriers, including FedEx, UPS, and DHL. This ensures your TSXAMZ600 modules arrive quickly and safely to support your maintenance or expansion projects. The product carries an 18-month warranty from Schneider Electric.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which platforms support the TSXAMZ600?
The TSXAMZ600 is designed specifically for the Modicon TSX Micro automation platform. It is not compatible with newer Modicon platforms like M241 or M251.

2. What is the conversion resolution of this module?
The TSXAMZ600 provides 11-bit analog-to-digital conversion for both inputs and outputs, delivering reliable measurement precision for typical industrial applications.

3. Can I mix input signal types on the same module?
Yes, the TSXAMZ600 supports configuration of each input independently. You can mix voltage and current signals across the four input channels.

4. Is the TSXAMZ600 still actively produced?
This product is non-stock, meaning it is not normally held in distribution facilities. However, it remains available for order, often for legacy system maintenance or expansion.

5. Does this module provide isolation between channels?
The TSXAMZ600 provides 1000 V AC isolation between the I/O channels and the system bus. It does not offer channel-to-channel isolation, so consider this when wiring multiple sensors.
