Schneider Electric TSXRKY6 Non-Extendable Rack

Overview

The Schneider Electric TSXRKY6 rack provides a stable foundation for Modicon Premium systems that require reliable single-rack configurations. It supports six module slots and delivers consistent mechanical rigidity for demanding industrial automation tasks. Engineers favor this rack because it installs quickly on a 35 mm DIN rail and secures firmly using four M6 screws. Moreover, its compact footprint makes it suitable for cabinets, machine frames, or panel mounting where space and airflow matter. The TSXRKY6 operates confidently in harsh environments and maintains dependable performance across a wide temperature and humidity range.

Key Features

The TSXRKY6 offers a balanced combination of mechanical strength, system compatibility, and ease of integration. In addition, it works seamlessly with TSXPSY power supplies, TSXP57 processors, I/O modules, and specialty modules. The rack design ensures minimal installation effort and delivers predictable long-term reliability. Therefore, it remains a trusted choice for both OEMs and plant engineers who manage legacy Modicon Premium installations.

Typical Applications

The TSXRKY6 supports automation architectures built on the Modicon Premium ecosystem. For instance, many users deploy it in manufacturing cells, packaging lines, or process skids where compact, non-extendable racks simplify maintenance. Moreover, the rack suits brownfield upgrades that require stable mechanical compatibility with legacy controllers. Its robust construction ensures consistent module retention even in environments subject to vibration or thermal cycling.

Support & Maintenance

Although discontinued, the TSXRKY6 remains serviceable through 2026, allowing facilities to maintain long-running automation assets without major redesigns. In addition, replacement options such as the BMXXBP0800 ensure a straightforward migration path. Regular inspections of mounting screws and DIN rail clips help extend service life and reduce unplanned downtime.
