TSXDSY16T2 – Schneider Electric Modicon Premium 16-Point Discrete Output Module
The TSXDSY16T2 from Schneider Electric is a robust Modicon Premium discrete output module. It delivers reliable 24 V DC transistor outputs for industrial automation. This 16-point module uses source (PNP) logic. Each channel handles up to 0.5 A. Built-in electronic protection guards against overloads and short circuits. The module fits in a single slot. It is ideal for demanding control systems. This part is discontinued. Last verified: 2026-09.

Expert Review
The TSXDSY16T2 is a solid choice for legacy Modicon Premium systems. Its PNP transistor outputs switch fast. The 0.5 ms response time suits high-speed sorting and packaging lines. Electronic short-circuit protection reduces downtime. Each channel handles 0.5 A. This drives most industrial solenoids and relays directly. The module uses one slot. That saves rack space. However, this model is discontinued. Plan for spare units or migration. The IP20 rating limits use to clean cabinets. For harsh areas, add extra enclosure protection.
Manager’s Insight
This module remains a workhorse for many factories. The 16-point density and 0.5 A rating balance cost and performance. Source (PNP) logic is common in European machinery. The auto trip on reactivation feature helps after a fault. You do not need to power cycle the rack. Just clear the fault and restart. The 1500 V AC isolation protects the bus from field spikes. That extends backplane life. Keep spares on hand. Discontinued status means lead times can grow. For new designs, consider newer Modicon platforms. But for existing Premium racks, the TSXDSY16T2 is a direct drop-in replacement.

FAQ
Q: Is this module still available?
A: It is discontinued. We stock limited quantities. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Can I use it with a sinking (NPN) input card?
A: No. This is a source (PNP) output. Match with PNP inputs.
Q: What happens during a short circuit?
A: The channel trips. It auto-resets after you remove the fault and reactivate.
Q: How many outputs can run at once?
A: All 16 channels can run at 0.5 A each. But watch total power.
Q: Do I need external fuses?
A: The module has electronic protection. External fuses are optional.
Q: What wire gauge should I use?
A: 0.5 to 2.5 mm² typical for field wiring.
Q: How do I test a channel?
A: Force the output in PLC software. Measure voltage at the terminal.
Q: Can I mix this with other Modicon modules?
A: Yes. It fits any Premium rack slot.
Q: What is the response time?
A: 0.5 ms typical. That is fast for discrete outputs.
Q: Why does the module get warm?
A: Normal. 1.1 W total. Keep cabinet below 60°C.
Buying Guide
- Check your PLC rack type. Must be Modicon Premium.
- Confirm your field voltage is 24 V DC.
- Count outputs needed. This gives 16 points.
- Check load current. 0.5 A per channel max.
- Decide PNP or NPN. This is PNP.
- Buy spare units. Discontinued parts run out.
- Contact us for bulk pricing. We ship fast.
