Schneider TSXETG1000 TCP-IP/Modbus Gateway Module

Product Introduction – Schneider TSXETG1000
The Schneider Electric TSXETG1000 is a powerful Ethernet gateway module designed specifically for the Modicon TSX Micro and Premium series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This communication module acts as a bridge between Modbus and Ethernet TCP/IP networks, enabling legacy Modbus devices to be integrated into modern Ethernet infrastructures without major hardware changes. The TSXETG1000 simplifies connectivity, enhances communication speed, and improves integration flexibility in industrial automation systems.

Primarily used in discrete manufacturing, infrastructure, and process industries, this gateway supports secure and efficient data exchange between Ethernet and serial Modbus devices. It provides a cost-effective solution for industries aiming to modernize their communication networks while retaining existing Modbus-compatible field devices.

Technical Specifications – Schneider TSXETG1000

Applications
The TSXETG1000 is used in a variety of industrial automation environments. Key application scenarios include:

• Industrial Automation and Control Systems: Enabling communication between Modicon PLCs and SCADA/HMI over Ethernet.

• Legacy System Modernization: Integrating older Modbus RTU devices into new Ethernet-based control architectures.

• Remote Monitoring: Facilitating data transmission over TCP/IP for real-time remote diagnostics.

• Building Automation: Used in BMS for HVAC, lighting, and energy monitoring control systems.

• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Interfacing multiple PLCs across treatment plant systems.

• Transportation and Infrastructure: Supporting PLC communication in tunnels, traffic control systems, and substations.

Product Advantages

• Seamless Integration: Allows legacy Modbus serial devices to communicate on Ethernet TCP/IP networks.

• Industrial-grade Design: Built for robustness, including resistance to EMI and vibration in harsh industrial environments.

• Compact and Lightweight: Easy to install on DIN rails within tight control panels.

• Fast Deployment: Uses intuitive software (FactoryCast Configurator) for rapid setup and network configuration.

• High Compatibility: Works with a broad range of Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs.

• Scalable Architecture: Supports multiple simultaneous Modbus TCP clients and Modbus RTU slaves.

• Low Power Consumption: Draws power directly from the PLC backplane, eliminating extra wiring.

• Certified for Global Use: Meets CE, UL, CSA standards, making it suitable for global applications.
