Description
Product Description
The Schneider Electric TSXCTY2A is a 2-channel high-speed counter module designed for the Modicon Premium automation platform. It delivers precise measurement of speed and position, making it ideal for high-performance industrial motion control applications. Moreover, its compatibility with incremental encoders and 2/3-wire proximity sensors ensures flexible integration across various automation systems. The module supports counting frequencies up to 40 kHz, allowing accurate capture of fast-changing signals with minimal latency.
In addition, the TSXCTY2A features a robust design with thermal tripping protection, overvoltage safeguards via zener diodes, and a compact modular format for easy installation in standard racks. Engineers can rely on its fast 5 ms cycle time and auxiliary outputs conforming to EN/IEC 61131 standards for seamless process integration. Although discontinued in 2018, service support remains available until 2026, ensuring continued operational reliability for existing systems.
