Schneider Electric TSXIBY100 InterBus Master Module
The TSXIBY100 is an industrial fieldbus communication module designed by Schneider Electric for the Modicon Premium automation platform. Operating as a 4th-generation Master/Slave interface, this standard-format module integrates Modicon Premium PLCs into InterBus networks, enabling deterministic cyclic data exchange across up to 512 remote bus stations, 63 InterBus loops, and 8 local bus segments.
Network Capacity and Communication Services
The module processes data over an NRZ-encoded transmission medium at a fixed data rate of 500 kbit/s. It supports up to 4096 input/output points (3872 physically mapable I/O) and manages cyclic variable swapping using 242 %IW and 242 %QW implicit word registers. Built-in firmware services handle bus operating mode management, logical addressing, PMS message preprocessing, and segment processing to streamline control loops across complex cell architectures.
Physical Interfaces and Topology Configuration
Communication links are established using standard 9-pin SUB-D connectors. One SUB-D connector provides an RS485 InterBus link supporting copper twisted pairs, fiber optics, infrared, waveguide rails, and rotary acquisition units. A second SUB-D connector offers an RS232 port for configuration via CMD tool software. Segment distance limits range from 1.5 m on local buses up to 400 m between remote bus terminal modules, achieving a maximum cumulative bus length of 12,800 m.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the TSXIBY100 module configured for InterBus network communication? A: Initial network topology parameterization and diagnostics are performed through the dedicated 9-pin SUB-D RS232 port using compatible CMD tool software, while operational PLC memory mapping (%IW/%QW) is configured within the PL7 or Unity Pro programming environment.
Q: What transmission media are supported by the RS485 InterBus interface on this module? A: The physical interface supports twisted wire pairs (2 x 1.5 mm² InterBus loop), fiber optic cables, infrared links, waveguide rails, and rotary data acquisition units depending on segment distance and environmental demands.
