Schneider Electric TSXETC101 Ethernet IP And Modbus TCP Premium Module

The Schneider Electric TSXETC101 Ethernet communication module for Modicon Premium PLCs adds native EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP connectivity on a single-format card, expanding Premium automation systems to standard Industrial Ethernet networks. It provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface and is powered from a 5 V DC supply drawing up to 400 mA. The module supports both EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, enabling data exchange with external devices such as HMIs, SCADA servers, and other CIP- or Modbus TCP-enabled equipment on the same network. As part of the Modicon Premium family, TSXETC101 sits in the PLC’s communications layer to extend networking capabilities without a separate gateway, maintaining the Premium platform’s deterministic performance. Typical applications include remote I/O integration, cross-vendor control networks, and industrial data collection where standard Ethernet protocols are required. Key specifications include 10/100 Mbps throughput, 5 V DC operation at up to 400 mA, and support for EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP on a single module, providing straightforward network topology with minimal hardware and cabling.
