Overview

The TSXCTY2C is a Measurement and counter module 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 measurement and counter module, the TSXCTY2C 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 TSXCTY2C, 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.

Specifications

The TSXCTY2C from Schneider Electric, part of the TSX Micro PLCs series, is a current sink auxiliary input module. It integrates with various sensor types and is designed to operate with different input standards.

Description

NoteThe Schneider Electric TSXCTY2C is an auxiliary input module designed for TSX Micro PLC systems. This component utilizes a current sink method for auxiliary input functionalities such as presetting, enabling, and reading signals. The device accommodates various input types, including 2 and 3-wire proximity sensors (PNP/NPN) and incremental encoders. It operates over a range of voltages from 10 to 30 volts with totem pole output and 5 V DC RS422 standards. It operates on a standard input voltage of 24 V, with different current requirements: 18 mA for sensors, 7 mA for auxiliary inputs, and 18 mA for encoders. The voltage limits specify a required encoder voltage of less than or equal to 5.5 V, while sensors and auxiliary inputs function within a range of 19 to 30 V. A state of logic can be identified through key voltage thresholds: for active conditions, the sensors and auxiliary inputs must exceed 11 V, while the encoder requires at least 2.4 V. Conversely, a voltage of 1.2 V or less signifies a non-active state for the encoder, with corresponding limits for sensors and auxiliary inputs. The module is built to conform to the EN/IEC 61131 standards for electrical circuit types. It supports a response time of less than 2.5 milliseconds when detecting loss in the 24 V auxiliary input. Handling two channels facilitates effective signal processing and can support counting frequencies up to 1 MHz. In addition to its functional efficiencies, the TSXCTY2C unit has a cycle time of 1 ms, contributing to its overall performance in demanding control applications.
