TSXH5724M Schneider Electric Modicon Premium Processor Module

Product Overview

The TSXH5724M is a double-format Unity Hot Standby PLC processor module from Schneider Electric's Modicon Premium Automation platform series. Designed for high-availability industrial automation, this processor supports up to 1024 discrete I/O points, 80 analog I/O points, and 24 application-specific channels. Weighing 1.23 lbs (0.56 kg), it features built-in Ethernet TCP/IP (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX), a USB Type-A port, and an RS485 mini-DIN serial connection to deliver reliable high-speed process control across 6, 8, or 12-slot racks.

Core Technical Advantages

• Unity Hot Standby Redundancy: Provides real-time CPU synchronization via a high-speed 192 kB data exchange link to ensure uninterrupted system uptime.
• Flexible Memory Architecture: Features 192 kB internal RAM for program/data (expandable to 768 kB program RAM with a 16,384 kB PCMCIA data card).
• High-Speed Execution: Processes Boolean instructions in 0.039 to 0.057 μs with throughput up to 15.75 Kinst/ms for fast logic execution.
• Integrated Connectivity: Built-in RJ45 Ethernet TCP/IP port, USB port (12 Mbit/s), and non-isolated mini-DIN RS485 serial port simplify field networking.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Solutions

• Continuous Process Plants: Deploys in Unity Hot Standby configurations to ensure seamless CPU failover in critical manufacturing.
• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Manages up to 30 process loops and distributed remote I/O bases via Ethernet TCP/IP networks.
• Marine & Offshore Automation: Marine-certified (ABS, DNV, LR, BV) for reliable vessel power management and engine room monitoring.
• High-Density Factory Control: Coordinates up to 1024 discrete I/O channels across 6, 8, or 12-slot Modicon Premium backplanes.

Wiring & Installation

Rack Insertion & Power Protocols

Ensure backplane power is shut off before installing the TSXH5724M into a 6, 8, or 12-slot Modicon Premium rack base. Seat the double-format module firmly into its assigned slots until the top and bottom retaining clips latch completely.

Ethernet & Sync Link Connections

Connect standard shielded RJ45 CAT5e/CAT6 cables to the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port. When building a Hot Standby system, connect the CPU Sync link cable between primary and standby processors to maintain the 192 kB sync data area.

Serial TER/AUX & USB Port Interface

Use the female mini-DIN RS485 terminal port (19.2 kbit/s) or the USB Type-A port (12 Mbit/s) for programming cables, operator interfaces, or peripheral device commissioning using Unity Pro software.

LED Diagnostics Verification

Upon powering up the 5 V DC supply (1880 mA current draw), verify that the green RUN LED illuminates solid. Check that ERR, I/O, and COL fault LEDs remain dark before switching the system to operational mode.

Engineering Advantages

• Fast Instruction Execution: Executes Boolean commands at 0.039 μs and floating-point math at 0.055 μs for responsive loop execution.
• Comprehensive Marine & Explosive Approvals: Approved for CSA Class I Div 2 hazardous locations and major marine classification standards.
• Diagnostic LED Array: Features 10 status LEDs on the front panel providing instant visual diagnostics for CPU, Ethernet, and port activity.
