Schneider Electric TSXRKY12EX Rack Carrier Module

The TSXRKY12EX is Schneider Electric's Modicon Premium 12-slot extendable rack designed for multi-rack configurations. It provides a scalable backbone to host Modicon Premium I/O modules and is intended to pair with a TSXP57 processor and a TSXPSY power supply to support larger, distributed control architectures. The rack uses two SUB‑D 9 connectors for remote bus X connections, enabling cross-rack communication while keeping individual chassis uncluttered. For installation, it can be fixed to a panel with four M6 screws or mounted on a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail clips, offering flexible mounting options in diverse cabinet layouts. The unit carries an IP20 protection rating and weighs approximately 2.3 kg, reflecting its compact, modular design suited for modular expansion. As part of the Modicon Premium automation platform, the TSXRKY12EX is built to expand multi-rack systems, allowing engineers to spread I/O and processing across multiple racks while maintaining a shared backplane and bus architecture.
