Schneider Electric TSXAEM1613 – 16-Channel Analog Input Module | Modicon TSX Premium Platform
Engineering Background
The TSXAEM1613 (also referenced as TSX-AEM1613) is a high-density analog input module engineered for Schneider Electric’s Modicon TSX Premium programmable logic controller platform. Designed to meet the demanding signal acquisition requirements of process automation, this module delivers precise multi-channel analog measurement with robust noise immunity — a critical requirement in industrial environments where signal integrity directly impacts process safety and efficiency.
Product Positioning
Targeted at procurement engineers and system integrators managing process control, energy management, and factory automation projects, the TSXAEM1613 serves as the primary analog front-end for TSX Premium racks. Its 16-channel capacity reduces rack slot consumption and wiring complexity versus single-channel alternatives, making it the preferred choice for high I/O density applications.

- Diagnostic Reporting: Module-level and channel-level diagnostics accessible via the PLC program for predictive maintenance workflows
- Proven Longevity: Schneider Electric’s TSX Premium platform has a documented 20+ year installed base in critical infrastructure globally
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The TSXAEM1613 occupies a standard I/O slot in the TSX Premium rack (TSX RKY series). Field wiring connects to the front-face terminal block (screw or spring-cage, depending on sub-reference). The module’s internal ADC samples each channel sequentially, converts the analog signal to a 12-bit digital word, and transfers the data to the rack backplane for CPU access. The CPU reads channel values as %IW words in the Unity Pro or PL7 Pro memory map. Scaling and engineering unit conversion are performed in the application program using standard function blocks.
Typical Signal Chain: Field Sensor → Terminal Block → Channel Input Buffer → Anti-aliasing Filter → 12-bit ADC → Backplane Bus → CPU %IW Register → HMI / SCADA

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the TSXAEM1613 compatible with TSX Micro or Modicon M340 racks?
A: No. The TSXAEM1613 is exclusively designed for the TSX Premium rack backplane. It is not electrically or mechanically compatible with TSX Micro, Modicon M340, or M580 platforms.
Q: Can I mix current and voltage inputs on the same module?
A: Yes. Each channel is individually configurable for current (4–20 mA) or voltage (0–10 V / ±10 V) input via software configuration in Unity Pro or PL7 Pro.
Q: What software is required to configure this module?
A: Unity Pro (v2.0 or later) or PL7 Pro (v4.5 or later) is required. The module is auto-recognized when inserted into a configured TSX Premium rack.
Q: Is a replacement terminal block available separately?
A: Yes. The front connector (TSX BLY 01 or equivalent) is available as a separate line item. Please specify when ordering.
Q: What is the lead time for in-stock units?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For sourced or surplus units, lead time is typically 5–15 business days depending on origin.
Q: Do you provide a test report or certificate of conformance?
A: Yes, upon request. A functional test report and/or certificate of conformance can be provided for qualified orders.
