Schneider Electric TSX1724012 Programmable Controller

The Schneider Electric TSX1724012 programmable controller is a 24 VDC Modicon TSX 17-20 PLC with integrated transistor outputs, built for high-speed automation on conveyors, packaging lines, material handling systems, assembly lines, and OEM machinery. It executes automation logic, processes 24 VDC isolated digital inputs, and drives transistor outputs rated at 0.35 A, with RS-485 communications (UNI-TELWAY compatible) and an EEPROM/EPROM cartridge slot for memory expansion. Power is supplied from 24 VDC (operating range 19.2–30 VDC) and the unit includes 24 KB of internal RAM. It supports up to three extension modules (PL7-2 configuration), is panel-mount or DIN-rail compatible, and serves as an OEM direct replacement within Modicon TSX 17 industrial automation systems. Programming is via PL7-1, with PL7-2 supported when using a language cartridge. This model is a discontinued legacy PLC platform; common replacements include Schneider Electric TSX1724012, Modicon TSX Micro PLC, and OEM-equivalent TSX1724012.
