Part of the high-quality Schneider Electric product lineup, this module is engineered to meet industrial standards for durability, flexibility, and efficient operation. It is a relay output base with robust specifications for various control applications, providing essential relay-based switching for automation tasks across multiple voltages. With a 2-year MRO Electric and Supply warranty, the TSXDSY16R5 ensures dependable functionality backed by extensive support.

Output Specifications and Versatile Voltage Compatibility

The TSXDSY16R5 offers 16 discrete relay outputs, making it suitable for applications that demand multiple relay-controlled connections. It is compatible with AC and DC voltages, supporting a range from 24 to 240 V AC and 12 to 24 V DC, in compliance with EN/IEC 61131-2 standards. This versatility enables its integration into various control environments without additional adaptors, simplifying the process for systems handling mixed voltage requirements. The module’s discrete output type is designed as a relay without extra protection, offering direct control for connected devices.

Fast and Reliable Response Times

The TSXDSY16R5 is designed for quick and efficient operation, boasting response times of less than 8 ms for activation and less than 10 ms for deactivation. This rapid response capability is crucial for time-sensitive applications where prompt relay switching can impact system efficiency and safety. The module’s contact composition, with a normally open (NO) configuration, ensures straightforward and reliable switching.

Robust Protection Features

The TSXDSY16R5 includes built-in protection mechanisms to enhance durability and prevent equipment damage. Each output has overvoltage protection: AC inductive loads are safeguarded with RC circuit MOV (ZNO), while DC inductive loads have protection from a discharge diode on each actuator. The module allows for an external fast-blow fuse per channel or channel group for overload and short-circuit scenarios. These safeguards prevent issues affecting the module and connected devices, ensuring operational safety and reliability.

Durable and Long-Lasting Performance

Engineered for endurance, the TSXDSY16R5 can perform up to 5 million switching cycles for specific AC and DC loads. The module’s design ensures high electrical durability, making it ideal for intensive industrial use where repetitive switching is required. For instance, it can perform up to 1 million cycles at 220 V resistive loads (AC-12) and up to 2 million cycles at 24 V DC inductive loads (DC-3). Its extensive electrical durability underscores its suitability for rigorous applications.

Efficient Power Dissipation and Low Consumption

The TSXDSY16R5 is designed for efficient power dissipation with a formula of (0.25 W + 0.2 W x number of active outputs), ensuring it remains cool under load. It also features low current consumption, drawing 80 mA at 5 V DC and 135 mA at 24 V DC, making it a resource-efficient choice for long-term use in power-sensitive environments.

Marking, Connection, and Compliance

This module is CE-marked, assuring compliance with industry standards for quality and safety. It utilizes a screw terminal block for secure and straightforward electrical connections, reducing the risk of loose wiring in critical control applications.
