SCHNEIDER TSX3710164DTK1 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

The Schneider TSX3710164DTK1 is a compact Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) belonging to the TSX Micro 37 series by Schneider Electric. A PLC is essentially a specialized industrial computer that reads inputs from sensors and machines, makes decisions based on a control program, and then sends output signals to control devices like motors or valves.

Specifications:
Number of slots: 2 (for adding additional I/O modules)
Integrated I/O:
32 discrete inputs (24 VDC) - likely for reading on/off signals from sensors or switches
32 solid-state outputs - likely for controlling on/off states of devices like valves or solenoids
Communication:
1 serial link Uni-Telway (19.2 kbit/s)
1 Modbus RTU (19.2 kbit/s) - communication protocols for networking with other devices
Memory:
Internal RAM: 14 Kwords (data)
Flash memory: 15 Kwords (data)
Processing speed:
0.25 µs (microseconds) per Boolean instruction without a PCMCIA card (faster for simpler instructions)
Other:
Real-time clock
Overload and short-circuit protection
Operating temperature: 32…140 °F (0…60 °C)

Features:
Compact design: Saves space in control cabinets.
Expandable I/O: Additional I/O modules can be added through the two available slots for increased functionality.
Communication capabilities: Enables networking with other devices for data exchange and monitoring.
Suitable for small to medium automation tasks: With its processing power and I/O capacity, the TSX3710164DTK1 can handle various control applications in industrial settings.

Applications:
Machine control (like conveyor systems or packaging machines)
Process control (like temperature or pressure regulation)
Data acquisition and monitoring
Building automation (like lighting or HVAC control)
