1. 모델 코드 정의

TSX: Prefix for Modicon Premium series

SAY: AS-i bus master module

1000: Version V2, supports standard and extended addressing

2. 핵심사양

3. 기능 설명
4. Acts as the AS-i bus master for Premium PLC to connect field AS-i sensors and actuators (proximity switches, 솔레노이드 밸브, modular I/O, 등.), greatly simplifying field wiring.
5. Front panel integrated diagnostic LEDs for quick troubleshooting of AS-i bus faults, slave disconnection and address conflicts.
6. Supports acquisition from AS-i analog slaves, not limited to discrete signals only.
7. Compatible with AS-i safety slaves (safety input / safety output).
8. 교체 모델

Official Recommended Replacement: BMXEIA0100 (M340 PLC AS-i Master Module)

메모: Platform migration from Premium TSX57 to M340 requires rack, CPU and software replacement. It is not a direct plug-and-play replacement. For legacy systems, only used / surplus TSXSAY1000 can be sourced as spare parts.

5. 설치 & 유지 관리 지침
6. 설치: DIN rail mounting in Premium rack, X-Bus backplane communication; IP20 보호 등급, for cabinet installation only.
7. AS-i Bus: Use dedicated AS-i yellow flat cable; AS-i power supply must be installed at both ends of the bus. SUB-D connector spare: 피닉스컨택트 1841909, 슈나이더 internal part number W815891970101A.
8. 결함 문제 해결

FAULT red LED: Bus short circuit, 정전, duplicate slave address

A/B LED: Indicate AS-i A/B dual group slaves

32 LEDs: Corresponding slave online status; OFF = slave lost

4. Second-hand Inspection Checklist

Power on and verify PWR/OK LED without faults

All front panel LEDs light normally, no damage

SUB-D connector free of oxidation and intact pins

Rack gold-plated contacts without burn marks

Perform bus scan test with AS-i power supply and AS-i slave

6. Common Misconception Clarification

❌ Not an analog output module. Some vendors incorrectly label it as AO module. It is an AS-i fieldbus communication master module.

TSXSAY1000 (Premium AS-i V2 Master Module) 적용사례

핵심 기능: TSXSAY1000 is the AS-i bus master mounted on Premium PLC rack. Suitable for scattered field I/O, large quantity of sensors, solenoid valves and safety signal acquisition. One AS-i yellow flat cable transmits data and power simultaneously, drastically reducing hardwiring work. All cases are legacy projects (Premium platform, Unity Pro programming), mainly for retrofit and maintenance of existing equipment. Premium platform is not recommended for new projects.

사례 1: 자동차 부품 조립 라인 (일반적인 응용)

프로젝트 개요

메인 컨트롤러: TSXP573623M Premium CPU + TSXSAY1000 AS-i master module for one assembly station bus

AS-i slaves: 근접 센서, 광전 센서, station pushbutton boxes, solenoid valve islands, AS-i safety slaves (안전문, 비상 정지)

I/O count: A/B dual group, 약 42 AS-i slaves; includes discrete I/O and a small number of analog slaves (pressure sensor AS-i modules)

시스템 아키텍처

Premium Rack (TSXP57+TSXSAY1000) → SUB-D Connector → AS-i Yellow Flat Cable → Field AS-i Slaves

Reason for TSXSAY1000 Selection

1. Assembly stations are distributed. Traditional hardwiring requires separate cables from each sensor back to control cabinet, with high cost of cables, trunking and wiring labor. AS-i single cable connects all points in series.
2. AS-i Safety support: Safety gate and E-stop signals transmitted via AS-i safety channel, natively supported by TSXSAY1000.
3. Front panel 32-channel diagnostic LEDs allow maintenance personnel to identify offline slaves at a glance for fast fault location.

제어 논리

Material presence detection at station, cylinder solenoid valve actuation, safety gate interlock, emergency stop protection

Analog pressure acquisition (press-fit pressure) uploaded to PLC for press-fit judgment

Pain Points & 유지

결함: AS-i flat cable insulation damage, poor contact from piercing terminals. TSXSAY1000 FAULT LED alarm, read bus diagnostic word in Unity Pro.

한정: Max bus length ≤100m; AS-i repeater required for longer distance.

Retrofit Alternative

Full Premium platform replacement: M340 + BMXEIA0100 AS-i master

사례 2: Food Packaging Line (Horizontal Flow Wrapper / Case Packer)

프로젝트 개요

Premium TSXP57254M + TSXSAY1000; case conveying line with multi-section belt conveyors, material stop cylinders and detection photoelectric sensors

AS-i slaves: Photoelectric sensors, material presence switches, 솔레노이드 밸브, AS-i modular I/O

Process Requirement

Multi-section conveyor sorting, material detection, material stop and reject. Field I/O points scattered along long conveying line.

장점

1. Humid environment in packaging workshop. AS-i flat cable with piercing connection, fast wiring, M12 waterproof slaves.
2. Simple configuration in Unity Pro for TSXSAY1000, automatic slave scan and I/O mapping.
3. Add new slaves directly on AS-i bus when expanding stations, no massive recabling.

Typical Fault

Insufficient AS-i power capacity. Voltage drop occurs when multiple solenoid valves energize simultaneously, causing temporary slave dropout reported by TSXSAY1000.

사례 3: Automated Warehouse Conveyance & Pallet Detection

프로젝트 개요

Pallet inbound conveyor section in automated warehouse, Premium PLC + TSXSAY1000 to manage scattered detection points on conveyor line

AS-i slaves: Pallet presence photoelectric sensors, position proximity switches, stop cylinder solenoid valves, pallet oversize detection

프로세스

Pallet inbound, position identification, stop and release. I/O points spread along long conveyor, control cabinet installed at one end of warehouse.

선택 타당성

Traditional point-to-point wiring incurs extremely high cable cost. AS-i cable routed along conveyor cable tray with single drop branches. TSXSAY1000 supports up to 62 discrete AS-i slaves, sufficient for one inbound conveyor line.

메모: For multi-bus warehouse projects, multiple TSXSAY1000 modules can be installed on Premium rack (최대 8 modules for TSX573 and above) to expand multiple independent AS-i buses.

사례 4: Valve Island & Level Switch Acquisition in Wastewater Treatment Plant (공정산업)

프로젝트 개요

Wastewater pre-treatment, mechanical bar screens and sludge discharge valve banks; Premium PLC, TSXSAY1000, field AS-i valve islands + 레벨 스위치

AS-i slaves: Pneumatic valve AS-i valve islands, 레벨 스위치, flow switches, 4-20mA AS-i analog modules

프로세스

Bar screen start/stop, on/off control of sludge discharge valves, liquid level monitoring. Valve groups distributed around tanks under humid and corrosive environment.

특징

TSXSAY1000 supports AS-i analog slaves for direct acquisition of liquid level and pressure analog signals, eliminating large quantity of additional analog input modules.

Consideration

AS-i bus is not suitable for ultra-long distance wiring across tanks; AS-i repeater required if length exceeds 100m.

Summary of TSXSAY1000 Application Profile

✅ Suitable Scenarios

1. Scattered field sensors and actuators, large volume of discrete I/O (광전, proximity, 솔레노이드 밸브)
2. Systems requiring AS-i safety bus (안전문, 비상 정지)
3. Small volume analog acquisition (압력, liquid level via AS-i slaves)
4. Retrofit and spare part replacement of legacy Premium systems

❌ Unsuitable Scenarios

1. High-speed process and heavy analog volume applications (프로피버스 / Modbus TCP preferred)
2. Long bus distance (>100m without repeater)
3. 새로운 프로젝트 (Premium platform EOL, M340+BMXEIA0100 recommended)

Configuration Guidelines (Unity Pro)

1. Insert TSXSAY1000 into hardware tree of Premium rack
2. Configure AS-i V2, 기준 / extended addressing
3. Bus scan to identify group A / B slaves
4. Automatically map AS-i input and output to PLC internal variables
5. Read module diagnostic word for SCADA alarm (bus fault, slave dropout)
