Schneider Electric TSXP573623T – Modicon Premium PLC CPU for reliable machine and process control
The Schneider Electric TSXP573623T is a Modicon Premium series CPU designed for mid‑range PLC applications where you want dependable cycle times, mature communications, and long service life. The “T” suffix typically indicates the conformal-coated, tropicalized variant, which in many cases is preferred in humid or chemically aggressive environments. From my experience, this model fits well in brownfield expansions—think packaging lines, water treatment skids, materials handling cells—where stability and long-term availability of spares matter more than chasing the newest platform.
You might notice that integrators like it for the straightforward programming workflow (Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert), plus the flexibility to add Ethernet, fieldbus, or serial networks using standard Premium communication modules. One thing I appreciate is how predictable the scan performance is once the application is locked in—maintenance teams generally don’t need to babysit it.

Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & ventilation – Install on a TSX Premium rack inside a clean, grounded panel. Maintain airflow around the CPU and comm modules; avoid heat sources. Keep within specified temperature/humidity.
- Wiring & grounding – Use shielded cables for serial networks (RS‑485/Modbus). Tie shields and reference grounds per Schneider wiring diagrams to minimize noise.
- Positioning – CPU typically sits to the left of I/O on the base rack near the power supply. Check rack slot assignment to match your project configuration.
- ESD & handling – Observe ESD protection when inserting/removing modules and memory cards. Power down before hardware changes.
- Routine maintenance – Periodically back up the application to a PCMCIA card and engineering laptop. Replace the memory backup battery per the maintenance schedule. Clean dust filters and check terminal tightness during planned shutdowns.
- Firmware & diagnostics – Keep Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert updated. Apply Schneider‑approved firmware only; validate versions with your project before upgrading.
