Schneider TSXCSY84 | PLC Motion Control Module SERCOS Fiber

Product Description

The Schneider TSXCSY84 is a high-performance multi-axis motion control module from the Modicon Premium PLC family. It is engineered to control servo motors and drives through the SERCOS (Serial Real-time Communication System) fiber-optic protocol, enabling precise synchronization for complex industrial automation tasks.

This module allows a PLC to act as a centralized motion controller, coordinating up to eight servo axes with deterministic communication and low-latency control. Its integration with Schneider’s PL7 or Unity Pro software ensures seamless configuration, real-time diagnostics, and high-speed control, making it ideal for robotics, CNC machinery, packaging lines, printing presses, and material handling systems.

Although the TSXCSY84 is a legacy product, discontinued in 2021, it remains a reliable solution for existing installations requiring advanced multi-axis motion control and high-speed SERCOS communication.
