Schneider TSXRKZ02 Expansion Rack 2 Slots

TSXRKZ02 Modicon TSX Micro Mini Extension Rack

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric TSXRKZ02 offers a compact extension solution for the Modicon TSX Micro automation platform. It adds two physical slots to your existing PLC configuration. This allows you to install additional I/O modules as your application expands. Therefore, you can grow system capacity without purchasing a completely new main rack. This rack delivers a cost-effective path for future system upgrades.

Key Technical Specifications

The TSXRKZ02 provides a simple but essential function in the TSX Micro ecosystem. Its rack capacity totals two slots for discrete or analog modules. The unit remains compact and lightweight at roughly 0.63 kg. Notably, this rack employs a passive backplane architecture. Hence, it requires no active electronics or dedicated power source for normal operation.

Additionally, the physical dimensions follow standard TSX Micro module formats. Official documentation confirms this extension rack works specifically with TSX 37 series PLCs. These include models like the TSX 37-10, TSX 37-21, and TSX 37-22. Upon connection, the system automatically recognizes each module by its slot position. Consequently, you do not need complex addressing configurations for proper operation.

Installation and Usage Guidelines

Installing the TSXRKZ02 follows a straightforward procedure consistent with standard PLC practices. First, mount the rack securely onto a flat panel using the provided mounting holes. Ensure the ambient temperature stays between 0°C and +60°C for optimal reliability. Next, insert your required I/O modules into the two available slots. Finally, link the expansion rack to the main PLC rack using a compatible extension cable.

Moreover, users should remember that most systems support only one extension rack per PLC. Proper grounding and noise isolation techniques will maintain signal integrity. For detailed wiring diagrams and mechanical drawings, consult the official product documentation.
