Schneider TSXIBY100 | Premium InterBus Bus Module

The TSXIBY100 connects Premium PLC systems to InterBus networks seamlessly. This communication module acts as a bus master or slave device on the network. It handles all telegram transmission and reception independently from the CPU. Consequently, your processor focuses solely on application logic execution.

You can integrate this module into any Premium TSX P57 rack slot. The TSXIBY100 supports both InterBus-S and standard InterBus protocols. It also provides diagnostic data for network troubleshooting and maintenance. Therefore, engineers gain full visibility into fieldbus performance.

Memory Architecture and Data Storage

The module includes dedicated RAM for process data exchange. This memory arrangement stores both input and output data separately. The TSXIBY100 holds up to 128 bytes of input data and 128 bytes of output data. A separate EEPROM retains configuration parameters after power loss.

This bus module contains no internal battery for data retention. The TSXIBY100 relies on non-volatile EEPROM technology instead. Therefore, you never need to replace a battery on this device. Below is a complete breakdown of its technical characteristics.

Interface Layout and Connection Details

A single 9-pin D-sub female connector serves as the network interface. The TSXIBY100 requires a standard InterBus cable for network connection. Two rotary switches on the front panel set the node address. Three LEDs indicate RUN, ERR, and BUS activity status.

This bus module needs an external 24V DC power supply for operation. The TSXIBY100 draws this power through a dedicated two-pin connector. The internal 5V logic supply comes from the Premium rack backplane. Therefore, the module remains operational even during network interruptions.

Operational Benefits for Fieldbus Integration

This module enables easy connection to InterBus field devices and drives. The TSXIBY100 automatically scans and maps all connected slave devices. It also provides detailed diagnostics for each node on the network. Maintenance teams value this feature for rapid fault localization.
