Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the controller is mounted in a clean, dry environment with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
• The unit is compatible with standard DIN rail mounting or direct panel mounting.
• Always disconnect power before installing or removing the module or any connected I/O wiring.
• Use shielded cables for communication and analog signals to minimize EMI interference.
• Ensure proper grounding of the controller chassis to the system ground bus to maintain signal integrity.
• Verify that the 24 VDC power supply is within the specified 19.2 to 28.8 VDC range before energizing.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the TSX3710128DR1?

This unit acts as the main CPU and base controller for the Modicon TSX Micro system, handling logic execution, I/O management, and system expansion for industrial automation tasks.

Is the program memory volatile?

The program memory is battery-backed using the TSX BAT lithium battery to ensure data retention during power outages. It is recommended to replace the battery periodically (typically every 5 years) to prevent loss of data.

Can this controller be expanded?

Yes, the TSX3710128DR1 includes an integrated expansion bus, allowing for the addition of extra I/O modules or communication cards as required by the specific application.
