Number of application specific channels managed by a TSX CSY 84 or CSY 164 Station

Definition of an Application-Specific Channel

An application-specific module (TSX CTY• counting modules, TSX CAY• axis control modules, TSX CFY • step-by-step control modules, the TSX YSP Y• weighing module, the TSX CCY 1128 electronic cam module, TSX CSY 84 or TSX CSY 164 motion control modules, etc.) has a number of channels which may vary from 1 to n depending on the type of module (see Premium and Atrium using EcoStruxure™ Control Expert, Processors, racks and power supply modules, Implementation Manual); these channels are called application-specific channels.

Counting the Number of Application-Specific Channels on the Station

To define:

the power of the processor to be installed,

the maximum number of application-specific modules that can be installed on the station.

Number of Application-Specific Modules for a TSX CSY 84 Module

A TSX CSY 84 module may have up to 32 application-specific channels. Only the configured application-specific channels should be counted.

The TSX CSY 84 module manages a maximum of 8 real axes (channels 1 to 8), which are associated with servodrives. In addition to these real axes, the module can manage:

4 imaginary axes (channels 9 to 12),

4 axes with remote input (channels 13 to 16),

4 groups of coordinated axes (channels 17 to 20).

4 groups of slave axes (channels 21 to 24).

7 cam profiles (channels 25 to 31).

Channel 0 (SERCOS®) is the digital bus management channel,

channels 1 to 16 can each support either a real axis function, an imaginary axis function, or an external setpoint:
4 groups of coordinated axes (channels 17 to 20).
4 groups of slave axes (channels 21 to 24).
7 cam profiles (channels 25 to 31).
