Overview
The Schneider Electric TSX17ACC10 is a bus termination adapter designed specifically for the Modicon TSX 17 series of compact programmable logic controllers. This adapter terminates the Modicon TSX 17 bus system, preventing signal reflections that could disrupt communication within the PLC network. Proper termination ensures reliable data transmission between the PLC and its connected modules. The TSX17ACC10 is an essential component for properly closing the bus chain in TSX 17 automation systems, whether in packaging lines, assembly operations, or distributed control networks.
Key Features
- Compact design for easy integration within the PLC enclosure
- Simplifies wiring and ensures proper bus termination for the Modicon TSX 17 system
- Series compatibility with Modicon TSX 17 Micro-PLCs
- Eliminates signal reflections and electrical noise in extended bus configurations
- Industry-standard Telemecanique/Schneider Electric quality and reliability
Technical Specifications
The TSX17ACC10 is a straightforward termination device with minimal specifications, as it is a passive adapter. The last extension block or module must be fitted with a TSX 17 ACC10 end of line adaptor. A block with address n is connected to a block or module with address n-1 using a 0.32, 0.90 or 1.6 m cable depending on location, and the total length of the cable should not exceed 2.20 m.
Typical Applications
This adapter is an essential component for a complete and functional Modicon TSX 17 PLC system, used in various industrial automation applications where the TSX 17 micro-PLCs are deployed for controlling equipment and processes, such as machine control in packaging and assembly lines. It is also valuable in distributed control networks where multiple PLC modules and I/O devices must communicate without interruption, helping prevent costly errors from signal degradation.
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Schneider Electric Modicon TSX 17 series micro-PLCs
