SCHNEIDER TSXSAZ10 AS-Interface Master Module

The Schneider TSXSAZ10 is an AS-Interface master module designed for the Modicon Premium series automation platform. AS-Interface (Actuator Sensor Interface) is a communication protocol used for connecting sensors and actuators to a controller in a simple and cost-effective way. Here's an overview of its features and applications:

Overview:
The TSXSAZ10 acts as an interface between the Modicon Premium controller and AS-Interface slave devices (sensors and actuators) on a single cable.
It simplifies wiring and reduces installation time compared to traditional point-to-point wiring methods.

Features:
Supports AS-Interface V1: Connects with AS-Interface devices following Version 1 of the protocol.
4 Digital Inputs and 4 Digital Outputs: Provides basic digital I/O connectivity for sensors and actuators.
Standard Addressing: Uses standard addressing scheme for straightforward configuration of slave devices on the AS-Interface network.
Connects up to 31 Slave Devices: Allows communication with a maximum of 31 sensors and actuators on the AS-Interface cable.
Power Supply via Host Platform: Receives power from the Modicon Premium controller, eliminating the need for a separate power supply for the module itself.
IP20 Rated: Provides protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but is not water resistant. Suitable for use in typical industrial control cabinets.

Applications:
Industrial Automation Applications: The TSXSAZ10 is ideal for various industrial automation tasks where simple digital I/O communication is required. Some examples include:
Machine control
Conveyor systems
Material handling
Building automation
