Introducing the TSX AEY 800 and TSX AEY 1600 modules

Overview

Modules TSX AEY 800 and TSX AEY 1600 are high level 8/16 input industrial measurement devices.

Used in conjunction with sensors or transmitters, they perform monitoring, measurement and continuous process control functions.

Modules TSX AEY 800 and TSX AEY 1600, for each input, provide a range of +/-10 V, 0...10 V, 0...5 V, 1...5 V, 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA, depending on selections made during configuration.

The Debug Screen displays, in real time, the current value and status for each of the selected module's channels. It is also used to access the settings of the filtering and alignment values.

Summary

The TSX AEY 800 and TSX AEY 1600 input modules perform the following functions:

Description

The following table lists various functions of the TSX AEY 800 and TSX AEY 1600 input modules.

Address	Component	Function
1	Connection with process and Input Channels Scan	Hardware connection to process, through Sub-D connector(s), protecting module against voltage spikes, using peak-suppressing diodes adapting input signals through analog filtering, scanning input channels, through static multiplexing
2	Adaptation of Input Signals	gain selection, based on characteristics of input signals, as defined in configuration (unipolar or bipolar range, in voltage or current), compensating for drift in amplifier device.
3	Scanning of Analog Signals Measured at Input	12-bit Analog/Digital converter
4	Translating incoming values into workable measurements for the user	taking into account re-calibration and alignment coefficients to be applied to measurements, as well as the module's self-calibration coefficients, (numeric) filtering of measurements, based on configuration parameters, scaling of measurements, based on configuration parameters.
5	Interface and Communications with Application	managing exchanges with CPU, geographic addressing, receiving configuration parameters from module and channels, sending measured values, as well as module status, to application.
6	Module Power Supply	-
7	Module monitoring and sending error warnings back to application	testing the conversion string, testing for range overflow on channels, verifying that terminal block is present, watchdog test.
