TSXCTY2A
Schneider Electric
Overview
The TSXCTY2A is a Counter modules in the Modicon Premium Automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It is engineered for industrial automation duties within the Modicon Premium / TSX ecosystem.
Application & Technical Notes
As a counter modules, the TSXCTY2A is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon Premium / TSX equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed Schneider Electric platform.
Key published characteristics include a 24 V DC rating, an operating temperature range of 32…140 °F (0…60 °C). These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (32…140 °F (0…60 °C)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -13…158 °F (-25…70 °C). Avoid condensation — the rated humidity is 5…95 % without condensation; store and operate the module in a dry, pollution-degree-appropriate enclosure. Verify field wiring, shielding and grounding at installation; check terminal torque and confirm signal types match the configured range. Periodically inspect for loose terminations, induced noise and channel-level diagnostics reported by the controller. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the TSXCTY2A, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine Schneider Electric stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm the module matches your Modicon Premium / TSX rack, the required channel count, signal type and voltage, and the firmware/configuration of the controller. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Description
| Note | The Schneider Electric TSXCTY2A is an auxiliary output module intended for use with TSX Micro PLCs. 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. |
