Hello everyone, We are currently facing a "Low Battery Fault" on our Modicon TSX Premium PLC-Processor TSX PSY1610, causing it to be unable to operate. I am in need of the necessary programming software for the PLC and instructions on how to communicate with it. Additionally, I am looking to purchase new CPU batteries for the system. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Chris.
If you're in need of batteries and software, be sure to reach out to your nearby Schneider Electric sales office. Remember that TSX PSY1610 is a power supply, not a processor. Check the code on the processor to determine the software version. It could be Unity Pro or an older version. If you're unfamiliar with these systems, consider enlisting the help of a local integrator for assistance.
To find both batteries and software for your TSX PSY1610 power supply, reach out to your nearest Schneider Electric sales office. When looking for the processor code, remember that TSX PSY1610 is a power supply, not a processor. Depending on the age of your system, it may use Unity Pro version or older software. If you are unfamiliar with these components, consider consulting a local integrator for assistance. Keep in mind that PL7 is the legacy software you need. It typically runs on Windows 7 or lower, but can be operated under a virtual machine on XP. Ideally, your system utilizes a Unity processor for simplified operation.
To find batteries and software for your TSX P57104 processor, contact your local Schneider Electric sales office. The TSX PSY1610 is a power supply, not a processor, so make sure to locate the code on the correct component. Depending on the age of your system, it may require Unity Pro version or an older software program. If you are unfamiliar with these products, consider hiring a local integrator for assistance. Don't forget to reach out to Schneider Electric for any battery needs. Thank you, Chris.
User tragically1969 mentioned that the name to search for is PL7. This is legacy software that may not be compatible with versions of Windows above 7. It is suggested to run it under a virtual machine on Windows XP. If the processor is a Unity processor, it should make things easier. Now that the software is identified as PL7, can Unity Pro be used to program the processor with the part number TSX P57104? What is the cable part number needed to connect to the "TERM port" on the CPU? Thank you, Chris.
Chris IWO shared, "Hello tragicallly1969, thank you for the information. I now understand that the software you need is PL7 for the processor. To program the processor with part number TSX P57104, you will need to use Unity Pro. When it comes to connecting to the 'TERM port' on the CPU, you will require a specific cable. For Schneider cables, the recommended part numbers are TSXCUSB485 for a USB to RS485 converter with a USB to RS485 RJ45 device connection and TSXCRJMD25 for a programming cable with RJ45 to MiniDin8 connection (TSXCUSB485 is a prerequisite for TSXCRJMD25)."
Hi Chris, You'll need the 'PL7-Pro' software to program your TSX Premium PLC, it's quite user-friendly. To communicate with the PLC, you can use a Uni-TELWAY driver or a Unitelway (RS485) network. If you choose the second option, please note, you'll need a TSX PCX 1031 converter. As for CPU batteries, I suggest checking out online marketplaces like eBay, Amazon or even industrial supply stores, make sure to get the exact model required, it's usually printed on the battery. Always remember to power down the PLC before changing the battery. This helps prevent program loss. Good luck!
Hey Chris, sounds like a bit of a pain! You're going to need the 'PL7' software to program that PLC. It should allow communication and troubleshooting. As for the battery, the part number is 'TSXPLP01'. You should be able to source it from industrial automation suppliers or even on sites like Amazon or eBay. Remember to always power off before replacing the battery. Good luck with it, let us know how things go!
Hi Chris, for the software, you would need the 'PL7' range by Schneider, possibly PL7 Pro if you're looking to do advanced programming. You can communicate with your PLC via a 'Uni-Telway' driver, assuming you have the correct cabling (usually a TSXPCX1031). As for the batteries, I recommend checking out RS Components or Digi-Key as they usually stock a wide range for industrial equipment. Always remember to power down before replacing the battery to avoid any memory loss.
