SCHNEIDER TSXDSY16T3 Solid-State Output Module

The Schneider TSXDSY16T3 is a solid-state output module belonging to the Modicon Premium series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) by Schneider Electric. It essentially functions as a control unit for activating or deactivating external devices like motors, lamps, and valves through its 16 independent output channels.

Here's a breakdown of its key features and functionalities:

Function:
Provides 16 independent solid-state (transistor) output channels for reliable on/off control of external devices.
Each channel can handle up to 0.5A continuous current and 1A peak current.
Suitable for switching both DC and AC voltage depending on the specific model (refer to the datasheet for details).

Specifications:
Number of outputs: 16
Output type: Solid-state (transistor)
Output current: 0.5A continuous, 1A peak (check datasheet for your specific model)
Supply voltage: Typically 24VDC (verify for your specific model)
Power consumption: Typically around 8W
Protection: Short-circuit protection and overvoltage protection by internal transil diodes
Communication: No built-in communication, connects directly to PLC backplane
Dimensions: Compact size, typically around 70 x 50 x 25mm

Features:
Simple and reliable: Solid-state outputs offer long lifespan and low maintenance compared to traditional relays.
Compact design: Takes up minimal space in your PLC rack.
Easy integration: Connects directly to the Modicon Premium backplane for seamless communication with the PLC.
Multiple protection features: Protects the module and connected devices from electrical faults.
