Schneider TSXDEY16D3 Discrete Input Module

Schneider TSXDEY16D3 Discrete Input Module for Modicon Premium

Product Introduction

The TSXDEY16D3 works as a discrete input module within the Modicon Premium automation platform. This Schneider Electric unit captures binary field signals and forwards them to the PLC processor. Specifically, it provides 16 input points arranged in two groups of eight channels each. The module accepts 48 V DC sink signals, which suits applications requiring higher field voltage. Therefore, engineers deploy it in process lines, machine control, and utility panels.

Technical Specifications

The TSXDEY16D3 delivers 16 DC input channels with negative logic, also called sink configuration. Each channel draws 7 mA at state 1, keeping field load low. Additionally, the input voltage range targets 48 V DC for direct connection to higher-voltage sensors and switches. The module occupies only 1 slot on the Modicon Premium backplane. This single-slot layout helps engineers save rack space in dense installations.

Isolation and Response Behaviour

Channel-to-bus isolation reaches 1500 V AC dielectric strength, protecting the backplane from field transients. Moreover, isolation resistance exceeds 10 MΩ at 500 V, ensuring minimal leakage. Response time stays at 4 ms typical, which fits most discrete sensing tasks. However, this TSXDEY16D3 module does not provide channel diagnostics. Therefore, designers should pair it with external monitoring when fault detection matters.

Electrical Parameters

Field supply for the TSXDEY16D3 runs at 48 V DC, while the backplane supplies 5 V DC. Bus current consumption equals 80 mA at 5 V DC, which remains modest for a 16-point module. Power dissipation follows 1.0 W plus 0.15 W per active channel. Consequently, cabinet thermal load stays predictable and easy to manage. First, confirm that your power budget covers these figures before installation.

Physical and Environmental Data

The module measures 140 × 35 × 80 mm in height, width, and depth. Besides, its weight is only 0.15 kg, making handling and replacement simple. The TSXDEY16D3 carries an IP20 protection rating for indoor cabinet use. Meanwhile, the unit follows the same Modicon Premium environmental family standards.

Installation Guide

First, verify that the Modicon Premium rack has one free slot for this TSXDEY16D3 module. Next, align the unit with the backplane connector and push it firmly into place. After that, tighten the retaining screws to lock the module body. Then, wire the 48 V DC field signals to the screw terminals with correct sink polarity. Finally, set the input addresses in Unity Pro and test each group before startup.
