Schneider TSXCAY22 Modicon Motion Control Module for Servo Systems

Product Overview

When precise motion control is critical for your servo applications, the Schneider Electric TSXCAY22 delivers reliable performance. Part of the Modicon Premium automation platform, this motion control module handles power dissipation from 7.2 to 11.5 W and supports a servo loop type with proportional control, overshoot compensation, and gain switching at 2 ms. It is designed for servo motors and offers versatile operating modes including FOLLOWER, OFF, Direct Drive Mode, Manual, and Automatic.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The TSXCAY22 provides key specifications that matter for motion control. It supports axis lengths from 256 to 32,000,000 pulses, making it suitable for both short and long travel applications. Acquisition speed ranges from 54,000 to 270,000 points per minute, while acceleration time can be set from 8 ms to 10 seconds. The module accepts incremental encoders (10-30 V totem pole or 5 V DC RS422) and absolute encoders with SSI output (12-25 bits) at a clock frequency of 200 kHz. It includes 2 reflex static outputs, 2 analog static outputs, and 2 servo drive validation relay outputs. The analog output range is ±10 to 24 V with 13-bit plus sign resolution.

Industry Applications

This module excels in servo-driven applications requiring precise positioning and speed control. In packaging machinery, the TSXCAY22 manages axis movement with trapezoidal or parabolic speed profiles, ensuring smooth acceleration and deceleration. For material handling systems, its following axis dynamic ratio, limited axis, and infinite axis types provide flexibility for conveyor synchronization or rotary indexing. The module's ability to cut on the fly and perform servo drive offset correction makes it ideal for applications needing real-time adjustments.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation ensures reliable operation. The TSXCAY22 uses standard format modules and connects via HE-10 20-pin connectors for auxiliary inputs, reflex outputs, and servo drive control inputs. A SUB-D 9 connector handles analog output (speed reference), while two SUB-D 15 connectors connect incremental or absolute encoders. Input logic is positive, and the auxiliary input accepts 24 V at 8 mA. Ensure the ambient air temperature stays between 32 and 140 °F (0 to 60 °C) during operation and avoid altitudes above 2000 m. Always verify encoder coupling, servo drive presence, and emergency stop functionality during commissioning.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the module's LED indicators—RUN (green), I/O fault (red), ERR (red), and axis diagnostics (green)—helps identify issues early. The module includes short-circuit protection via current limiter and thermal tripping on reflex outputs, as well as overvoltage protection with a Zener diode. Reverse polarity protection is provided by a reverse diode on the reflex output supply. These built-in safeguards reduce downtime and extend service life. For maximum reliability, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for periodic checks.

Compatibility & Integration

The TSXCAY22 integrates with the Modicon Premium automation platform and supports incremental encoders (10-30 V totem pole, 5 V DC RS422) and absolute encoders (SSI output 12-25 bits). It also accepts 2-wire/3-wire 24 V DC sensors via the auxiliary input. The module is compatible with positive logic DC inputs (resistance ≤ 15 kOhm) for reflex outputs. For comparison, similar modules in the Modicon family may offer fewer axis options or different encoder support, but the TSXCAY22 provides 2-axis control with flexible input compatibility.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify that your system requires a motion control module for servo motors with 2-axis capability. Confirm encoder type (incremental or absolute SSI) and input voltage requirements (24 V DC for auxiliary and servo drive control inputs, 5 V DC for counter input). The TSXCAY22 weighs 0.48 kg and has a standard format. BluePLC Industrial offers this module with detailed support to ensure it matches your application needs.
