Schneider Electric TSXASZ200 Analog Output Module

TSXASZ200 Modicon TSX Micro 2-Channel Analog Output Module

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric TSXASZ200 analog output module brings precise control capabilities to the Modicon TSX Micro automation platform. This module features two independent analog outputs, each configurable for ±10 V voltage or 0…20 mA (including 4…20 mA) current signals. It serves as a reliable interface for driving proportional valves, variable speed drives, chart recorders, and other analog actuators.

Specifically, the TSXASZ200 offers 11-bit conversion with sign for voltage outputs and 11-bit conversion for current outputs. This resolution delivers adequate precision for most industrial control applications. Furthermore, the module provides 1500 V AC isolation between the output channels and the system bus, offering superior protection against ground loops and field-side faults.

The module's compact design and standard mounting compatibility allow easy integration into existing TSX Micro control cabinets. Although not a Green Premium product, the TSXASZ200 remains a valuable option for maintaining and expanding legacy automation systems.

Output Specifications and Performance

The TSXASZ200 offers versatile output signal support. For current outputs (0…20 mA or 4…20 mA), the minimum load impedance is 0.6 Ω. For voltage outputs (±10 V), the minimum load impedance is 1 kΩ. This broad compatibility allows you to connect a wide variety of field devices without additional signal conditioning.

Output resolution for current signals is 11 bits, providing adequate granularity for smooth actuator control. Voltage outputs also deliver 11-bit resolution with sign, giving you ±10 V range with fine step size. The TSXASZ200 ensures consistent performance across the operating temperature range, with temperature drift of 0.107% per 10 °C for current outputs and 0.083% per 10 °C for voltage outputs.

The module draws 150 mA from the power supply, making it a moderate consumer within the TSX Micro system. Protection against open-circuit conditions is provided for current outputs, safeguarding the module from wiring faults. This protection feature enhances system reliability and reduces potential downtime.

Isolation and Reliability

The TSXASZ200 stands out with its 1500 V AC isolation voltage. This high isolation level provides excellent protection for the controller against voltage spikes, ground loops, and other electrical disturbances common in industrial environments. Consequently, the module offers dependable performance even in demanding applications with long cable runs or shared grounding systems.

The module's robust design ensures consistent output accuracy over extended operation periods. While the TSXASZ200 is not a Green Premium product and will not be compliant with future environmental standards, it continues to serve as a reliable component for existing TSX Micro installations that do not require the latest environmental certifications.

Installation and Compatibility

The TSXASZ200 is designed specifically 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. Installation requires no special tools or complex configuration.

Before installing the TSXASZ200, verify that your power supply can handle the additional 150 mA load. Plan your wiring carefully to maintain signal integrity and minimize electromagnetic interference. Use shielded cables for analog outputs, especially for voltage signals, to prevent noise coupling into the wiring.

The module is suitable for both new installations and as a replacement for existing analog output modules in legacy systems. Its country of origin and specific compliance information should be verified at the time of ordering for your region.

Environmental and Compliance Information

The TSXASZ200 meets the environmental standards applicable at the time of its production. It offers 1500 V AC isolation, providing robust protection for the system bus. The module's temperature drift characteristics ensure stable output performance across its operating temperature range.

This product is not classified as a Green Premium product. It will not be compliant with future environmental regulations, so customers should consider this when planning long-term system expansions. However, for existing installations where environmental certification is not a primary concern, the TSXASZ200 remains a dependable choice.

Wiring diagrams are available in the product documentation to assist with proper installation. For applications requiring the latest environmental compliance, consider newer Modicon platforms and their corresponding analog output modules.

Packaging and Logistics

Each TSXASZ200 module comes in a single-unit package weighing 0.20 kg. The packaging ensures safe transit and easy handling. For larger orders, bulk packaging options may be available upon request.

All shipments go out via trusted global couriers, including FedEx, UPS, and DHL. This ensures your TSXASZ200 modules arrive quickly and safely to support your maintenance or expansion projects. The product carries an 18-month warranty from Schneider Electric.
