Introducing the TSX AEY 420 module

Overview

The TSX AEY 420 module is a high-level, fast 4-input industrial measurement device.

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

For each input, the TSX AEY 420 module provides 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.

Summary

The TSX AEY 420 input module performs the following functions :

Description

The following table describes the available functions :

Address	Component	Function
1	Connection with process and Input Channels Scan	Hardware connection to process, through Sub-D connector(s), Adapting input signals through analog filtering.
2	Multiplexing of Input Signals	Scanning input channels, through static multiplexing.
3	Adaptation of Input Signals	Adaptation of Input Signals
4	Scanning of Analog Signals Measured at Input	16-bit Analog/Digital converter
5	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, Scaling of measurements, based on configuration parameters.
6	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.
7	Module Power Supply	-
8	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.
9	Internal Reference	Reading an internal reference to a standard voltage allows the module to calculate its self-calibration coefficients.
