Output Architecture and Channel Configuration

The TSXDSZ08T5 features eight independent transistor output channels. Each channel uses positive logic (source) switching for 24 V DC loads. The Schneider TSXDSZ08T5 provides 1 ampere of continuous current per channel. A total module current of 4 amperes requires careful load distribution. Eight green LEDs show the ON/OFF status of every channel individually. A red FLT LED indicates a short-circuit or overtemperature condition.

Switching Performance and Response Speed

This discrete output module switches ON in just 50 microseconds. It turns OFF within 80 microseconds for rapid cycle times. The TSXDSZ08T5 supports switching frequencies up to 1000 Hz. This high speed suits pulse-width modulation and fast positioning applications. The module handles inrush currents of 2 amperes for 10 milliseconds. This capability allows direct connection of solenoid valves without external relays.

Protection Features and Fault Handling

The Schneider TSXDSZ08T5 includes comprehensive output protection for industrial reliability. Each channel features built-in short-circuit protection against load faults. The module automatically shuts down a shorted channel to prevent damage. It restores output operation after removing the fault condition. Thermal protection shuts down the entire module if internal temperature exceeds limits. The red FLT LED provides immediate visual indication of any fault.

Physical Dimensions and Installation Guidelines

The Schneider TSXDSZ08T5 weighs only 0.190 kilograms for lightweight mounting. Its height measures 103.7mm, width 33.5mm, and depth 118.5mm. Install this module in any Modicon Premium rack slot. The TSXDSZ08T5 consumes minimal power from the backplane supply. It operates reliably from 0°C to +60°C ambient temperature. Use a 20-pin screw terminal connector (TSXBLY01) for field wiring.

Energy Storage and Suppression Characteristics

The TSXDSZ08T5 includes a 10 µF capacitor for voltage spike suppression. This capacitor protects the output transistors from inductive load kickback. It also filters power supply noise for stable module operation. The Schneider TSXDSZ08T5 requires no battery for normal operation. Its solid-state design contains no moving parts for maximum reliability. You will never perform battery replacement on this output module.
