Schneider Electric TSXDEY16A5 Modicon Premium 220V AC Input Module

The TSXDEY16A5 is a 16-channel high-voltage AC discrete input module designed for the Modicon Premium automation platform. Operating at a nominal input voltage of 220 V AC across a 47 to 63 Hz network frequency range, this standard double-width module provides reliable field signal monitoring for industrial control architectures. It features capacitive isolation conforming to EN/IEC 61131-2 Type 2 standards, making it fully compatible with 2-wire and 3-wire proximity sensors complying with EN/IEC 60947-5-2.

Input Characteristics and Signal Detection

Each of the 16 inputs draws a nominal current of 15 mA at state 1 and features an input impedance of 20,000 Ohms. The module guarantees a logic state 1 (ON) at voltages of 159 V AC or higher with a minimum current of 6 mA, while guaranteeing a logic state 0 (OFF) when the voltage drops to 40 V AC or lower with current below 4 mA. A signal response time of no more than 20 ms ensures dependable filtering and detection of AC field device states.

Power, Isolation, and Installation

The module operates from the backplane rack drawing 80 mA at 5 V DC, with a low total power dissipation of 0.97 W. Electrical connection to field devices is established via a screw terminal block, maintaining high isolation with an insulation resistance under 10 MOhm at 500 V DC and a dielectric strength rating of 1,500 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Housed in an IP20 enclosure, it supports operating temperatures between 0 deg C and 60 deg C at altitudes up to 2,000 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of field sensors can be wired directly to the TSXDEY16A5 module? A: The module is compatible with standard 220 V AC 2-wire and 3-wire proximity sensors conforming to EN/IEC 60947-5-2, as well as dry contacts and limit switches powered by a 170...264 V AC source.

Q: What are the guaranteed logic thresholds for turning an input channel ON and OFF? A: An input channel is guaranteed to register a logic state 1 (ON) when the applied voltage reaches at least 159 V AC with 6 mA of current. It is guaranteed to return to a logic state 0 (OFF) when the voltage drops to 40 V AC or lower with current falling to 4 mA or below.
