Product Description
The Schneider TSX CAP030 is a communication adapter module for Modicon TSX Series 7 PLCs. It extends the PLC’s connectivity, enabling seamless integration with operator terminals, peripheral devices, and external automation systems.
Moreover, the module acts as a protocol converter, supporting RS232C and RS422 serial communication standards. It ensures reliable and robust data exchange, which is essential in manufacturing, packaging, process control, and energy automation environments.
The TSX CAP030 is a legacy product, discontinued but still widely used in operational systems. Schneider Electric recommends migration to newer Modicon platforms, such as the M340 or M580, for long-term support.
