Schneider TSXDSY16R5 Output Module 16 Relay

TSXDSY16R5 Modicon Premium 16-Output Discrete Module

Product Introduction

The TSXDSY16R5 from Schneider Electric expands the output capacity of any Modicon Premium system. You get 16 discrete relay outputs on a single module. Each output uses a 1 NO (normally open) contact configuration.

This module works with mixed voltage environments. For DC loads, the range is 12 to 24V. For AC loads, the range extends from 24 to 240V. Therefore, one module can handle both solenoid valves and motor contactors.

Technical Specifications

Output characteristics start with relay type contacts that are not protected internally. The conventional free air thermal current is 3A per channel.

Response times are fast for relay technology. Activation takes less than 8ms. Deactivation completes in under 10ms. These speeds suit most industrial sequencing applications.

Overvoltage protection is comprehensive. For AC inductive loads, each preactuator has an RC circuit plus a MOV (ZNO) varistor. For DC inductive loads, a discharge diode protects each channel. Consequently, your field devices remain safe from voltage spikes.

Overload and short-circuit protection requires external fuses. You need one fast-blow fuse per channel or per group of channels. The TSXDSY16R5 does not include internal fuses.

Insulation resistance exceeds 10 MOhms at 500V. Dielectric strength is tested at 2000V for 60 seconds at 50/60Hz.

Power dissipation follows a simple formula: 0.25W plus 0.2W multiplied by the number of active outputs. For example, with all 16 outputs on, dissipation reaches 3.45W.

Current Consumption

The TSXDSY16R5 draws power from two rails. From the 5V DC rack supply, it consumes 80mA. From the 24V DC rack supply, it consumes 135mA. Always include these values in your system power budget.

Mechanical Data

Dimensions follow the standard Modicon Premium format. The module width fits standard racks.

Weight is 0.38kg for the module alone. With packaging, gross weight reaches 0.52kg.

Electrical connection uses a screw terminal block. This allows secure field wiring without special tools.

Environmental Specifications

Temperature range for operation is 0 to 60°C. Storage temperature spans -25 to 70°C.

Relative humidity during operation ranges from 10% to 95% without condensation. For storage, 5% to 95% is acceptable.

Operating altitude is limited to 2000 meters maximum.

Protective treatment is rated TC (tropical coating). This resists corrosion in humid environments.

IP degree of protection is IP20. Pollution degree is 2 according to IEC 60664-1.

Certifications and Standards

The TSXDSY16R5 complies with multiple international standards. These include IEC 61131-2, UL 508, and CSA C22.2 No 142.

For hazardous locations, it meets CSA C22.2 No 213 Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D.

Product certifications include ABS, BV, DNV, GL, LR, RINA, and RMRS. This makes the module suitable for marine and offshore applications.

CE marking confirms compliance with 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC, and 93/68/EEC directives.

Installation Guidelines

First, ensure the Modicon Premium rack is powered off. Next, align the TSXDSY16R5 with the desired slot. Then push firmly until the module seats completely in the backplane.

For wiring, strip each wire to the correct length. Insert into the screw terminal block and tighten securely. Each output requires an external fast-blow fuse for protection.

Meanwhile, verify that total current per channel does not exceed 3A. For inductive loads, the built-in protection diodes and RC circuits will handle voltage spikes automatically.

Finally, apply power and test each output sequentially. Use the PLC programming software to force outputs on and off while checking field devices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does the TSXDSY16R5 work with both AC and DC loads?
Yes. The TSXDSY16R5 accepts 12-24V DC or 24-240V AC on its relay outputs. You can mix AC and DC loads on different channels of the same module.

2. What external protection does this module need?
You must add external fast-blow fuses for overload and short-circuit protection. Use one fuse per channel or per group of channels. The TSXDSY16R5 has no internal fuses.

3. How many cycles can I expect at 220V AC inductive load?
For a 220VA inductive load at 220V AC, the TSXDSY16R5 provides 100,000 cycles under AC-14 or AC-15 ratings. For lighter 50VA loads at 220V AC, cycle life increases to 3,000,000 cycles.

4. Is this module suitable for marine environments?
Absolutely. The TSXDSY16R5 holds certifications from ABS, BV, DNV, GL, LR, RINA, and RMRS. These are major marine classification societies.

5. What is the power dissipation with all 16 outputs active?
Using the formula 0.25W + (0.2W × number of active outputs), the TSXDSY16R5 dissipates 0.25W + 3.2W = 3.45W when all 16 outputs are on.
