SCHNEIDER TSXDEY16A2 Discrete Input Module

The Schneider TSXDEY16A2 is a discrete input module belonging to the Modicon Premium range by Schneider Electric. It acts as a bridge between the physical world of switches and sensors and the digital realm of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Essentially, it reads 16 digital signals from external devices and converts them into electrical signals the PLC can understand and process.

Here's an overview of its key aspects:

Overview:
Function: 16-channel discrete input module
Voltage: 24 V AC +/- 10%
Input type: Dry contact or two-wire proximity sensors
Connection: Screw terminal block
Compatibility: Modicon Premium PLCs

Specifications:
Response time: ≤ 1.5 ms per channel
Input current consumption: ≤ 0.4 mA per channel
Operating temperature range: -25°C to 60°C
Storage temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
Degree of protection: IP20

Features:
16 isolated input channels: Each channel reads a separate digital signal, preventing electrical interference between them.
High-impedance inputs: Minimizes interference from external electrical noise.
LED indicators: Provide visual status for each input channel (on/off).
Fast response time: Ensures quick reaction to changes in input signals.
Wide operating temperature range: Suitable for harsh environments.
Compliance: CE, IEC 61131-2

Applications:
Machine control: Monitoring limit switches, pushbuttons, proximity sensors, etc.
Process control: Monitoring tank levels, valve positions, pump status, etc.
Building automation: Monitoring door status, temperature changes, light switches, etc.
Security and surveillance systems: Monitoring door alarms, motion sensors, etc.

Please note: The TSXDEY16A2 is listed as "End of Commercialization" on Schneider Electric's website, meaning they will no longer accept new orders for this specific module. However, they may still offer support and spare parts for existing installations.
