Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main application for this module?

It is used to connect analog sensors (like pressure transmitters, temperature sensors with transmitters, or level sensors) to a Modicon TSX Premium PLC for monitoring and control.

What is the difference between the TSXAEY800 and TSXAEY1600?

The TSXAEY800 has 8 input channels, while the TSXAEY1600 has 16. Choose based on the number of analog signals you need to measure in your application.

How accurate are the measurements?

Accuracy is very good for industrial use. For example, measuring a 0-10V signal at room temperature has an error of only ±0.19% of the full-scale range.

Can I use it with 4-20 mA sensors?

Yes, the 4-20 mA input type is fully supported. This is the most common standard for industrial process sensors.

What wiring practices are recommended?

Always use shielded twisted-pair cables for analog signals. Connect the shield to ground at the cabinet to prevent electrical noise from affecting your readings.
