When a High-Speed Counting Line Stalls, Every Second Counts

A packaging plant recently faced a costly bottleneck: its TSX Micro PLC could not keep pace with a new high-speed labeling station. The existing I/O lacked the counting speed and encoder compatibility needed to track products accurately. The solution was the TSXCTY2A from Schneider Electric—a two-channel auxiliary output module engineered for demanding motion and counting tasks. This module restores precision and throughput without a full controller overhaul.

What the TSXCTY2A Delivers

The TSXCTY2A is an auxiliary output module for TSX Micro PLCs. It conforms to EN/IEC 61131 standards and provides two independent channels with a 40 kHz counting frequency. That speed suits high-resolution encoders and fast proximity sensors. The module handles 24 V DC inputs and outputs, with a nominal output current of 0.5 A. A 5 ms cycle time and <2.5 ms response time keep your line responsive.

The module supports current sink auxiliary inputs and positive logic, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial sensors.

Where It Excels

  • High-speed packaging: Tracks products with 40 kHz counting for accurate labeling and sorting.
  • Motion control: Interfaces with incremental encoders for position feedback.
  • Process monitoring: Uses proximity sensors to count parts or cycles in real time.

It adheres to the EN/IEC 61131 standards, making it suitable for various industrial applications. This module operates on two channels and can handle a counting frequency of 40 kHz.When the 24 V auxiliary power is interrupted, the response time is measured at under 2.5 ms, which impacts systems requiring prompt reactions. It features a cycle time of 5 ms, ensuring that it processes tasks efficiently.The module's input logic functions as a current sink auxiliary input. It is compatible with both 2 and 3-wire proximity sensors, such as PNP/NPN types, as well as incremental encoders running at a voltage of 10-30 V totem pole or 5 V DC RS422.Operating with a nominal input voltage of 24 V, current requirements include 18 mA for sensors, 7 mA for the auxiliary input, and 18 mA for the encoder. The input voltage limits are set at 19-30 V for sensors and auxiliary inputs, while the encoder operates at a limit of 5.5 V.For voltage state detection, it establishes a voltage state of 1 at greater than or equal to 11 V for sensors and auxiliary input and a minimum of 2.4 V for the encoder. Current states of 3.7 mA for the encoder, and 6 mA for the sensors and auxiliary inputs, signify active conditions. In contrast, voltage states of zero are recognized at 1.2 V for encoders or 5 V for sensors, with respective current states below 1 mA and 2 mA.This advanced module also provides an output voltage of 24 V DC to control connected devices effectively.
