Schneider TSX3710101 Micro PLC for Versatile Automation

Product Overview

When you need a compact yet powerful controller for diverse automation tasks, the Schneider TSX3710101 from the TSX Micro PLCs series delivers reliable performance. This micro PLC 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 robust design, it handles environments from 32 to 140 °F (0 to 60 °C) and humidity levels of 10% to 95% without condensation.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The TSX3710101 offers 8 analog input slots with a 0 to 10 V range and 1 analog output slot supporting the same voltage range. Its output capacity reaches a maximum of 0.5 A. 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. The application structure supports 1 fast task, 1 master task, and 16 event tasks, enabling efficient process management.

Industry Applications

In manufacturing lines, the TSX3710101 controls analog sensors and actuators with precision, thanks to its 8 analog inputs and 1 analog output. For building automation, its dual communication interfaces—1 serial link (TER/AUX) Uni-Telway at 19.2 kbit/s and 1 Modbus RTU at 19.2 kbit/s—allow seamless integration with supervisory systems. The wide input current range (2 mA to 60 A) makes it suitable for applications with varying power demands.

Compatibility & Integration

The TSX3710101 communicates via Modbus RTU and Uni-Telway, both rated at 19.2 kbit/s. This enables connection to Schneider PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems. The 2 expansion slots allow modular growth, and the PCMCIA memory expansion supports larger programs. This integration flexibility reduces engineering effort and speeds up deployment.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify that your application requires a micro PLC with 8 analog inputs and 1 analog output. The TSX3710101 operates on 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz.
