Schneider Electric TSXCTZ2A Counter Module 2 Input

Schneider Electric TSXCTZ2A Counter Module for TSX Micro

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric TSXCTZ2A expands your Modicon TSX Micro system with reliable high-speed counting capabilities. This module provides two independent counting channels for various industrial applications. You can use it for product counting on conveyor belts, flow monitoring, or position tracking. The TSXCTZ2A accepts both 24V DC and 5V DC input signals, giving you flexibility with different sensors. Additionally, it supports 2-wire and 3-wire proximity sensors without requiring extra interface devices. The module processes events quickly, making it suitable for time-critical production environments.

Input Specifications

The Schneider Electric TSXCTZ2A offers two counting inputs with versatile voltage compatibility. Each input accepts 24V DC (with limits of 19 to 30V) or 5V DC (with a limit of 5.5V). The input current is 18mA under normal conditions. For state 1 (high) detection, the threshold is ≥11V for 24V inputs and ≥2.4V for 5V inputs. Conversely, state 0 (low) detection requires ≤5V for 24V inputs and ≤1.2V for 5V inputs. The module also provides a sensor power supply that stays below 2.5V, ensuring safe operation with sensitive sensors.

Counting Performance

The TSXCTZ2A delivers two distinct counting modes to match your application needs. Standard counting operates at 40Hz, suitable for most industrial counting tasks. For higher-speed applications, the network frequency mode reaches 100Hz. The module's response time is impressively fast at 1.5ms for event processing and 8ms for master task handling. This rapid response ensures you capture every pulse accurately, even during high-speed operations. Consequently, you can rely on the Schneider Electric TSXCTZ2A for precise counting and position monitoring.

Wiring and Connectivity

The Schneider Electric TSXCTZ2A features positive logic inputs, simplifying wiring with standard sensors. Its input impedance is 0.27 ohms at 5V (Un) and 1.4 ohms at 24V (Un). This module directly supports both 2-wire and 3-wire proximity sensors, eliminating the need for additional signal conditioning. The current consumption is only 15mA, keeping the overall system power budget low. Furthermore, the module responds within 3ms, ensuring timely signal detection.

Physical Characteristics

The TSXCTZ2A is a compact module designed for the TSX Micro rack system. It weighs only 0.21kg, making it lightweight and easy to handle. The module's robust construction ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. It integrates seamlessly with other TSX Micro components, allowing you to build scalable control systems.
