Key Features

1. Relay Output Type

• The TSXDSY16R5 is equipped with mechanical relay contacts, which allow for direct switching of both AC and DC loads. This versatility makes it suitable for mixed-load environments and offers complete galvanic isolation between the control system and the load.

2. 16 Output Channels

• It features 16 isolated relay outputs, allowing users to control multiple discrete devices simultaneously from a single module. This high channel density saves space in control panels and simplifies wiring.

3. High Load Capacity

• Each relay can switch up to 5 A at 250 V AC or 30 V DC, making the module suitable for controlling high-power loads such as motors, solenoids, and lamps.

4. Integrated LED Indicators

• Each output channel is accompanied by an LED indicator for real-time status display. This allows for easy monitoring and diagnostics during installation, operation, or maintenance.

5. Robust and Industrial-Grade Design

• Designed for use in harsh industrial environments, the TSXDSY16R5 operates reliably across a wide temperature range and resists electrical noise, vibration, and mechanical stress.

6. Seamless Integration

• Fully compatible with Schneider Electric’s Modicon Premium PLCs, the module can be easily added to existing systems, offering plug-and-play connectivity and minimal configuration.

7. Diagnostic and Safety Features

• Includes built-in protection against short circuits and overload conditions. Its fail-safe design ensures system integrity in the event of power loss or component failure.

8. Galvanic Isolation

• Each relay output is galvanically isolated from the others and from the PLC system, providing increased protection for sensitive components and greater overall system safety.
