Description
The listed Schneider Electric TSX programming cables and interface modules are essential accessories for connecting a PC or laptop to Modicon M340, Premium (TSX Micro / TSX Nano), and legacy Quantum PLCs for programming, configuration, and diagnostics via EcoStruxure Control Expert (formerly Unity Pro) or PL7 / Concept software.
- TSXCUSB48 → USB to Mini-DIN (Multi-protocol) Programming Cable — modern USB replacement for the old serial cables; connects PC USB port to PLC TER or AUX port (Mini-DIN 8-pin on M340/Premium TSX Micro).
- TSXCUSB232 → USB to RS-232 (DB9) converter — often used with TSXCRJMD25 below.
- TSXCRJMD25 → Programming Cable (RS-232 / Modbus Sub-D to Mini-DIN 8-pin) — connects PC COM port (DB9 Female) or USB→232 adapter to Schneider TSX Micro / M340 AUX/TER port.
- TSXPBSCA400 → PCMCIA / PC Card or modern USB-to-Terminal Server module (historically PCMCIA-to-Modbus or serial gateway for older Premium; in later catalogs this can refer to a Profibus / Serial Interface Card for rack — please verify by your exact system: TSXPBSCA400 = often a Profibus Slave Communication Card for Premium rack, while programming cables are TSXCUSB48+TSXCRJMD25).
Key Features
- TSXCUSB48: Native USB, no external power, driver included (Windows 10/7/XP), auto-detects TER/AUX port protocol (Uni-Telway / Modbus ASCII/RTU).
- TSXCRJMD25: 2.5 m (typical) shielded cable, DB9M (PC side) to 8-pin Mini-DIN (PLC side).
- Plug-and-Play: Identified as COM port in Windows Device Manager after driver install.
- Compatibility: M340 (port TER/AUX), TSX Micro (Premium / Nano — port TER), legacy TSX47/57/67 (via TER).
- Country of Origin: France / China (Schneider global)
