Schneider TSXAEY810 Analog Input Module – 8 Channels

The Schneider TSXAEY810 captures analog signals from field sensors and transmitters. This module provides eight differential input channels for high-precision measurements. You can connect pressure, temperature, or flow transducers directly to this unit. The module converts 4-20 mA or 0-10 V signals into digital values.

Input Specifications and Ranges

The Schneider TSXAEY810 offers software-selectable input ranges per channel. This flexibility allows mixed signal types on a single module. Each channel provides 12-bit resolution for adequate industrial precision. The conversion time reaches 2 milliseconds for dynamic process monitoring.

Physical Dimensions and Weight

This analog input module occupies two slots in the PLC rack. The unit weighs 0.30 kg for stable mechanical mounting. Its 45 mm width accommodates eight channels in a compact footprint. You can insert the Schneider TSXAEY810 alongside digital modules without restrictions.

Connectors and Wiring Interface

A single 28-pin removable terminal block connects all field wiring. This terminal block accepts wire sizes from 0.2 to 1.5 mm². You will find dedicated terminals for each channel’s positive and negative leads. The module also provides a common return terminal for loop-powered transmitters. Each channel includes two diagnostic LEDs for over-range and under-range conditions.

Energy Storage and Electrical Isolation

The Schneider TSXAEY810 stores minimal energy for signal conditioning. Small filter capacitors on each input channel total 220 nF of storage. This capacitance smooths high-frequency noise from industrial environments. The module provides 500 VAC isolation between the backplane and field circuits. Channel-to-channel isolation does not exist on this module design.

Internal Components and Construction

Twenty-eight individual surface-mount resistors handle current-to-voltage conversion. Twelve operational amplifiers condition the analog signals before digitization. A single 12-bit analog-to-digital converter serves all eight channels sequentially. The Schneider TSXAEY810 contains no user-serviceable parts or batteries.

System Integration and Application Use

Transitioning to this module expands your PLC’s analog monitoring capability. You can read up to eight sensors without additional signal conditioners. The module works with 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire transmitters. Use the Schneider TSXAEY810 for tank levels, valve positions, or variable frequency drives. For best results, shield analog cables and ground them at one end only.
