2. Introduction to the general presentation of the Micro
The following transparencies allow a presentation of the Micro more or less detailed
depending on the level of the need and duration.
The presentation is organized in 2 parts and 3 levels :
- A core (~15 slides) for the basic presentation
- A second part which contains all the more detailed slides and annexes to
complete the basic presentation (2 levels)
To have access to this, you must be inside the SLIDE SHOW mode :
1) When the symbol will be met, you’ll have only to click on it to go directly to the
associated annex.
Then in the last slide of each annex the symbol will appear. By clicking on it you’
ll go back to the slide in the basic presentation where you were.
2) Other accesses :
- In the slide 5 (“A well gifted PLC …”) you click on to have the characteristics.
- In the slide 6 (“Optimized platforms …”) you click directly on each TSX 37 to
obtain the corresponding details.

Schneider Automation’s PLC range can be divided into two major segments: “PLCs for independent machine builders” and “PLCs for end users.” This positioning is not rules - most of our PLCs can technically fit most applications - but rather points you to the market segments where each PLC has been “optimized” for price/performance/application fit.
PLCs for machine builders
Micro and Nano are “optimized” for stand-alone machines because they provide a very compact mix of functions - in a low cost, small footprint package. They can also be used in some distributed applications.
Momentum has been optimized for distributed architectures where there are clusters of I/O. It is “optimized” for distributed clusters with 64 I/O points or less (two Momentum blocks max per cluster). It can be used in some stand-alone applications.
When a decentralized machine application has I/O clusters with greater than 64 points, or if specialty functions like motion, weighing, safety relays or specialized I/O is required, then the Premium is the “optimal” choice. It can handle large machines with up to 2,048 points. 64 point high density cards make it more cost effective for clusters >64 points.
PLCs for end users
Quantum can fit most end user applications, but it has been “optimized” for process applications with Concept FBD programming, S908, redundant MB+, hot-standby, conformal coating, and intrinsically safe I/O. It is our high end PLC platform.
Premium can fit most end user applications, but it has been “optimized” for discrete manufacturing applications with integrated motion, safety relays, superior FBD programming for sequential applications, memory backup, reflex I/O, and highly distributed architecture. It is our mid-range PLC platform.
The Momentum can be used in smaller distributed applications with Premium/Quantum as distributed I/O or as standalone processors. It is “optimized” for I/O clusters less than 64 points, or no more than 2 blocks per cluster.
The new Atrium processors fit a wide range of applications where users want the benefits of PC based control with the reliability of a PLC.

The TSX Micro can also be integrated with the TSX Nano to provide a low cost distributed architecture.
TSX Nanos can function as either remote I/O or remote processors (running their own program). The first Nano must be a remote processor, but any of the next three (#2, #3, or #4) may be remote I/O or remote processors.
Nanos are connected with twisted pair wiring and can exchange words and I/O bits with the TSX Micro program in real time at speeds up to 19,200 baud.
