Schneider Electric TSXP57353A Modicon Premium PL7 Processor Module

The TSXP57353A is a double-format PL7 central processing unit designed for Schneider Electric's Modicon Premium automation platform. Operating on a 5 VDC backplane bus with a current consumption of 1160 mA, this high-capacity controller manages complex multi-rack automation architectures. It provides built-in system memory, flexible communication interfaces, and support for up to 1024 discrete I/O channels.

Processing Performance and System Memory

The unit features 80 Kwords of internal RAM dedicated to application logic and data storage when used without an expansion card. For expanded logic requirements, program memory can be extended up to 384 Kwords using optional PCMCIA expansion cards, leaving 96 Kwords of internal memory allocated for data handling. System tasks are partitioned into 1 master task, 1 fast task, and up to 64 event-driven tasks for precise, real-time deterministic control.

Network Integration and I/O Capacity

Equipped with an integrated Fipio manager connection (SUB-D 9-pin) capable of controlling up to 127 agents, the module enables fast fieldbus communications across distributed architectures. It also includes 2 mini-DIN RS485 serial ports for programming device or operator panel connections. The processor manages up to 1024 discrete I/O, 128 analog channels, and up to 32 application-specific channels across a maximum configuration of 16 racks.

Physical Architecture and Status Monitoring

Built in a double-slot format, the processor mounts directly into two adjacent slots of a compatible Modicon Premium rack. Front-panel diagnostics feature local LED status indicators for operational state (RUN), internal errors (ERR), I/O faults (I/O), serial activity (TER), and Fipio fieldbus status (FIP), giving maintenance staff clear operational diagnostics at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What programming software is used to configure the TSXP57353A processor module? A: The processor is configured and programmed using Schneider Electric's PL7 Junior or PL7 Pro software environment.

Q: How is application memory expanded beyond the integrated internal RAM? A: Memory is expanded by inserting a compatible PCMCIA memory card into the slot on the front panel of the processor, providing up to 384 Kwords for program logic.
