TSXP572634M Schneider Modicon Premium CPU | Modbus TCP/IP PLC

Product Overview

TSXP572634M is a Unity processor for the Modicon Premium series by Schneider Electric. It uses a PowerPC core. This module handles demanding control tasks. It is discontinued but still supported by Modicon M580 (BMEP58xxx) as a modern replacement.

This processor fits 4, 6, 8, or 12-slot backplanes. It supports up to 8 local racks with 12 slots. For smaller racks, you can use up to 16 local racks. Expansion racks are not available. The unit delivers fast scan times and solid memory for complex logic.

Key uses include manufacturing lines, water treatment, and energy management. The built-in Ethernet and serial ports simplify networking. Communication modules add Fipio, Fipway, Modbus Plus, PROFIBUS DP, and more.

Expert Review

Manager’s Insight: The TSXP572634M is a workhorse for legacy Premium systems. Its 66 MHz PowerPC core and fast scan speed handle logic-heavy tasks well. The 768 KB program memory is generous for its class. Built-in Ethernet is a big plus for plant networks. However, the lack of expansion racks limits large I/O counts. For new projects, consider the M580. For existing installations, this processor remains a reliable drop-in spare.

We recommend this module for system integrators who maintain Modicon Premium lines. It shines in mid-size applications. The integrated FPU speeds up math operations. The serial ports work well with older HMIs and drives. If you need more analog I/O, plan carefully because the limit is 80 points.

Installation Guide

• Mount the processor in a compatible Premium backplane (4, 6, 8, or 12 slots).
• Ensure the backplane supplies 5 V DC with at least 1650 mA.
• Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port for Modbus TCP/IP.
• Use the RS-485 ports for Modbus RTU devices.
• Add communication modules for Fipio, Fipway, or PROFIBUS DP.
• Keep the environment within IP20 limits. Avoid dust and moisture.
• Do not exceed 8 local racks (12-slot) or 16 local racks (4/6/8-slot).

Commissioning and Maintenance

• Use Unity Pro or EcoStruxure Control Expert for programming.
• Download the program via Ethernet or serial port.
• Monitor scan time to ensure it stays near 0.19–0.21 µs per boolean instruction.
• Check the 160 KB data memory for usage. Expand program memory with a PCMCIA card if needed.
• Replace the backup battery regularly to avoid data loss.
• Keep spare units on hand because the product is discontinued.
