Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the primary function of the TSXETY110 module in a PLC system?

The TSXETY110 acts as an Ethernet TCP/IP communication interface for TSX Premium PLCs, enabling real-time data exchange, remote monitoring, and programming over an Ethernet network.

2. Can the TSXETY110 module support Modbus TCP/IP protocol?

Yes, the TSXETY110 natively supports the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, making it compatible with SCADA systems, HMIs, and other Modbus-enabled devices in industrial networks.

3. What software is required to configure or access the TSXETY110 module?

You will need Unity Pro or PL7 software, depending on your controller model. Both platforms offer full configuration, diagnostics, and firmware update capabilities for the TSXETY110.

4. Does the TSXETY110 support web server functionality?

The standard TSXETY110 does not include embedded web server functionality. For web-based monitoring, you will need the TSXETY110WS version or a higher-end model such as TSXETY5103.

5. What kind of network infrastructure is required for integrating TSXETY110?

A standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch or hub can be used. The module supports RJ45 connections and requires Cat5 or better Ethernet cabling.

6. Is the TSXETY110 suitable for industrial environments with high electrical noise?

Yes, it is designed for industrial-grade operation and complies with EMC standards. However, for environments with extreme EMI or transient surges, additional shielding or isolation may be necessary.

7. How many simultaneous connections can TSXETY110 handle?

The module typically supports up to 16 simultaneous Modbus TCP/IP client requests. For more complex networks or redundancy, consider higher-end modules like the TSXETY5103.

8. How can firmware updates be performed on the TSXETY110 module?

Firmware updates are handled through the configuration software via Ethernet. Ensure the module is not in use during the update and always back up your project files beforehand.

9. What diagnostic features are available in the TSXETY110?

The module provides LED indicators for link, activity, and module status. Additional diagnostic details such as communication errors and performance stats can be viewed via the software.

10. Is the TSXETY110 compatible with Schneider’s newer automation platforms like Modicon M340 or M580?

No, TSXETY110 is specifically designed for the TSX Premium family. For Modicon M340/M580 series, consider Ethernet modules like BMXNOE0100 or BME NOC modules, which are optimized for those platforms.
