Schneider Modicon Premium TSXP57024M Processor

Product Overview

The TSXP57024M is a standard-format processor within the Modicon Premium automation platform, engineered for high-speed industrial control and flexible distributed I/O management. Positioned as a versatile mid-range CPU, it provides a discrete I/O capacity of up to 1024 points and supports up to 80 analog channels. Its architecture is optimized for mid-to-large scale applications in manufacturing, water treatment, and infrastructure, offering a deterministic execution environment with 48 Kwords of internal memory. The TSXP57024M excels in communication versatility, featuring integrated terminal and auxiliary ports for HMI or programming access, alongside a PCMCIA slot for high-level fieldbus integration like Modbus+, FIPIO, or RS 485.

Technical Configuration

The TSXP57024M hardware is designed for modular scalability and high-performance processing:

• Memory Architecture: Equipped with 48 Kwords of internal memory (K16), with support for extension memory up to 128 Kwords via PCMCIA cards for extensive data logging and complex logic.

• Expansion Capability: Manages up to 16 racks (4/6/8-slot) or 8 racks (12-slot), providing access to a total of 96 physical module slots.

• Integrated Ports: Features two 8-pin mini-DIN connectors (non-isolated RS 485):

• TER Port: Supplies 5V for FTX terminals or PCs; defaults to UNI-TELWAY master at 19200 bauds.

• AUX Port: Dedicated for MMI (Man-Machine Interface) or printers; does not supply power.

• Specific Channels: Supports 24 application-specific channels (e.g., high-speed counting or motion) and up to 4 AS-i bus masters.

• PCMCIA Communication: The front-panel Type 3 slot accepts multiprotocol cards including TSX SCP 111 (RS 232), TSX MBP 100 (Modbus+), and TSX MDM 10 (Modem).

Technical FAQs

In which slot should I install the TSXP57024M standard format processor?

The installation position depends on your power supply. If using a standard power supply (TSX PSY 1610/2600), the processor is preferred in position 00. If using a double-format power supply (TSX PSY 3610/5500), the processor must be installed in position 01.

What is the difference between the TER and AUX ports?

While both are RS 485 mini-DIN connectors, the TER port provides 5V power to peripheral devices like handheld terminals or RS-232/485 converters. The AUX port is strictly for data and is typically used for HMI or printers that have their own power source.

Can I hot-swap the PCMCIA communication card?

No. The documentation strictly mandates that the processor must be POWERED DOWN prior to inserting or removing any PCMCIA communication or memory card to prevent electronic damage or system crashes.

Engineering & Installation Guide

• Processor Mounting Security: When mounting the TSXP57024M, ensure the locking levers are fully clicked into place. The rack power supply must always be POWERED DOWN during insertion to avoid arcing across the backplane pins.

• Memory Expansion: If your application requires more than 48 Kwords, utilize the PCMCIA extension slot. Always verify the battery status of the PCMCIA card (if applicable) to ensure data persistence during a system power cycle.

• Cable Routing for Mini-DIN: The TER and AUX ports use fragile 8-pin connectors. Use the TSX P ACC 01 isolation box for long-distance UNI-TELWAY connections to provide surge protection and signal isolation between the PLC and the network.

• Vibration and Thermal Clearance: Install the rack horizontally to allow for natural heat convection. Maintain at least 100 mm of clearance above and below the module to keep the operating temperature within the rated 0 to 60 deg C range.
