TSXCTY2C
Schneider Electric
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
| Note | The 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. |
