Schneider TSX3710101 Micro PLC for Versatile Automation

Product Overview

When your automation system demands a compact yet powerful controller, the Schneider TSX3710101 micro PLC delivers reliable performance. Part of the TSX Micro PLCs family, this unit operates within a 100-240 V AC voltage range and supports input currents from 2 mA up to 60 A, adapting to various project demands. With a temperature range of 32-140 °F (0-60 °C) and humidity tolerance from 10% to 95% without condensation, it suits diverse industrial environments.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The TSX3710101 features 8 analog input slots with a range of 0 to 10 V and 1 analog output slot supporting the same voltage range. Its output capacity reaches a maximum of 0.5 A, ensuring reliable command over connected devices. Memory includes 15 Kwords of flash memory and 20 Kwords of internal RAM, expandable to 128 Kwords via a PCMCIA card. Execution times range from 0.13 µs for Boolean operations to 4.5 µs for arithmetic REAL floating operations, enabling efficient process control. Communication interfaces include 1 serial link (TER/AUX) Uni-Telway at 19.2 kbit/s and 1 Modbus RTU at 19.2 kbit/s.

Industry Applications

In manufacturing environments, the TSX3710101 manages small to medium automation tasks such as conveyor control, packaging machinery, and simple process monitoring. Its 8 analog inputs allow precise sensor data acquisition, while the single analog output can drive actuators or setpoints. The support for 1 fast task, 1 master task, and 16 event tasks enables responsive handling of time-critical operations.

Compatibility & Integration

This micro PLC integrates seamlessly with Modbus RTU networks, a widely used industrial protocol, and Uni-Telway for legacy Schneider systems. The 2 slots allow modular expansion with additional I/O or communication modules. For memory expansion, a PCMCIA card can increase internal RAM to 128 Kwords, accommodating larger programs.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing, verify that your application requires the TSX3710101's specific analog I/O count and voltage range. For projects needing more I/O or different communication protocols, consider compatible expansion modules. BluePLC Industrial offers this model with reliable availability and support. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with BluePLC Industrial before ordering.

Comparison with Similar Products

Compared to other micro PLCs in the TSX Micro series, the TSX3710101 stands out with its 8 analog inputs and 1 analog output, while some models offer only digital I/O. Its 0.5 A output capacity is suitable for driving small relays or indicators, whereas higher-output models may be needed for larger loads. The Modbus RTU interface ensures broad compatibility, unlike older units limited to proprietary protocols.
