Schneider Electric TSXP574823AM PLC Processors

The Schneider Electric TSXP574823AM is a high-performance double-format PLC processor engineered for the Modicon Premium Automation Platform. Configured for programming with PL7 Junior or PL7 Pro software, this double-width module manages complex logic and process control applications. It integrates a Fipio manager interface, an Ethernet TCP/IP port, and non-isolated serial communication links directly on the unit.

High-Speed Execution and Memory Management

The TSXP574823AM delivers rapid program instruction processing, running Boolean instructions in 0.06 µs and word or fixed-point arithmetic in 0.08 µs. It processes 13.82 Kinst/ms for 100% Boolean programs and 8.8 Kinst/ms under mixed workloads (65% Boolean + 35% fixed-point arithmetic), while floating-point calculations execute in 1.7 µs. System overhead is kept to 0.22 ms for fast tasks and 1.15 ms for master tasks.

Internal RAM provides 96 Kwords for program and data storage without external memory expansion, plus 176 Kwords of internal data memory. With PCMCIA expansion cards installed, the processor supports up to 992 Kwords of program memory and up to 2048 Kwords of additional data storage. Object areas accommodate 30.5% %MWi internal located words, 32% %KWi constant words, and 32,768 %Mi internal bits across an application structure comprising 1 master task, 1 fast task, and 64 event tasks.

Multi-Rack Capacity and Onboard Communication Interfacing

Designed for large-scale industrial architectures, the TSXP574823AM manages up to 16 racks (4, 6, or 8 slots) or up to 8 12-slot racks, serving up to 128 rack slots overall. It processes up to 2,040 discrete I/O, 256 analog I/O, 64 application-specific channels, and 20 to 60 simple process control loops.

Onboard connectivity features a SUB-D 9 connector operating as a Fipio fieldbus manager supporting up to 127 agents, an RJ45 Ethernet TCP/IP 10/100 Mbit/s interface for Transparent Ready networks, and two female mini-DIN non-isolated serial links operating at 19.2 to 115 kbit/s. For expanded communications, it supports up to 4 network modules, 8 AS-Interface bus modules, 1 CANopen module, or 2 general fieldbus modules (1 if CANopen is utilized).
