Schneider TSX ASX200 / ASZ-200 PLC Communication & I/O

Product Description

The Schneider TSX ASX200 is a serial communication module designed for the Modicon TSX Series 7 PLC family. It extends the communication capabilities of PLC systems, enabling reliable data exchange with external devices such as operator terminals, printers, and barcode readers.

Moreover, the ASX200 provides configurable serial interfaces supporting multiple baud rates and data formats, ensuring flexible integration with various industrial devices. Its electrical isolation protects the PLC backplane from disturbances on the serial line, while LED indicators simplify diagnostics and troubleshooting.

The module is widely used in manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and process industries, particularly where legacy serial connectivity is required. As a discontinued legacy product, it continues to provide reliable performance in existing TSX Series 7 installations.

The TSX-ASZ-200 analog output module complements the system by providing precise analog output channels. It supports multiple output ranges and includes electrical isolation, ensuring accurate signal delivery and robust industrial reliability. Both modules are compact, rack or DIN-rail mountable, and maintain continuity for legacy automation systems.
