Schneider Electric TSXP572634M – Modicon Premium CPU for mid‑to‑large machine control and plant upgrades
The Schneider Electric TSXP572634M is a Modicon Premium CPU designed for stable, deterministic control in OEM machinery and brownfield modernization projects. From my experience, it’s the kind of controller you pick when you need reliable scan times, solid serial communications, and long-term lifecycle support without ripping out an existing Premium rack. It typically runs with Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert, supports legacy Uni-Telway and Modbus RTU on the built-in serial ports, and scales easily with Ethernet or fieldbus modules when you need them.
Order Placement Process and Guarantees

- Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
- Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
- Express shipping: FedEx, UPS, DHL
Key Features
- Premium rack CPU – Fits TSX Premium backplanes, ideal for extending existing systems without redesigning panels.
- Integrated serial communications – TER and AUX ports typically support Modbus RTU/ASCII and Uni‑Telway for HMIs, drives, and service tools.
- Deterministic logic execution – Designed for cyclic, predictable scan behavior in sequence-heavy machine control.
- Expandable networking – Add Ethernet TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, or fieldbus via communication modules when you’re ready.
- Removable user memory – Supports PCMCIA memory cards for program backup, firmware updates, and quick swap maintenance.
- Unity Pro / Control Expert programming – Modern software environment, easier migration from PL7 projects in many cases.
- Lifecycle-friendly – Common footprint, wiring, and accessories across the Modicon Premium family reduce changeover risk.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | Schneider Electric Modicon Premium / TSXP572634M |
| HS Code | 8537.10 (Boards, panels, consoles for electric control or distribution) |
| Power Requirements | Powered via TSX Premium rack backplane from TSXPSY power supply (24 VDC input to PS; internal 5 V bus). No separate PSU on the CPU module. |
| Dimensions & Weight | Single-slot Premium module; approx. 54 mm (W) × 175 mm (H) × 114 mm (D); ~0.35 kg |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to 55°C (32 to 131°F); 5–95% RH non‑condensing (typical for Premium family) |
| Signal I/O Types | No onboard discrete/analog I/O; controls I/O via local racks and network modules |
| Communication Interfaces | Integrated TER/AUX serial ports (RS‑232/RS‑485) with Modbus RTU/ASCII and Uni‑Telway; PCMCIA slot for memory; Ethernet and other fieldbuses via add‑on modules |
| Installation Method | Mounts on TSX Premium backplane (TSXRKY series), cabinet panel‑mount; not standalone DIN‑rail |
Where it fits best
You might notice that the TSXP572634M is very forgiving in legacy environments. It’s typically used in packaging lines, material handling cells, and process skids that already run Modbus/Uni‑Telway devices. One customer replaced an aging Premium CPU with this model and, aside from a quick firmware alignment and memory card swap, the line was back up in under two hours—no rewire, no enclosure changes.

Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & mounting – Install on a TSXRKY backplane mounted to a rigid, grounded panel. Reserve space for airflow; keep low‑voltage control separate from power cabling.
- Power & grounding – Feed the TSXPSY supply from a clean 24 VDC source with proper bonding. In many cases, a dedicated control PSU and line filter reduce noise issues.
- Wiring & comms – Use shielded twisted pair for RS‑485; ground shields at one point only. Match baud rate, parity, and protocol (Modbus/Uni‑Telway) across devices.
- Environmental – Operate within 0–55°C and non‑condensing humidity. Avoid vibration and corrosive atmospheres; conformal coating helps in harsher sites.
- Routine care – Backup the program to PCMCIA and engineering laptop; export Unity Pro archives. Check event logs, clean dust quarterly, and keep firmware aligned across spare CPUs.
- Change management – Before a swap, capture the node address, serial settings, and exact firmware revision; it appears that matching these prevents most surprise faults.
Quality & Certifications
- CE-marked; UL and CSA listings are typical for the Modicon Premium range
- RoHS compliant in most markets
- Manufacturer warranty practices apply; we provide a 365-day warranty on supply
Note: Exact port mixes and memory sizing within the TSXP572634M family can vary by firmware revision. If you share your current rack layout (rack type, PSU, comms cards) and the software version, we’ll cross-check compatibility and propose the fastest drop‑in path.
