The TSXRKN8 is an 8-slot rack chassis developed by Schneider Electric for the Modicon TSX Series automation architecture. It provides the mechanical housing, electrical backplane, and power distribution pathway required for modular PLC system construction.
This rack allows system integrators to assemble centralized control nodes using CPU, communication, and I/O modules within a single enclosure, improving system organization and communication determinism in industrial automation environments.
Constructed from reinforced industrial metal, the TSXRKN8 is designed to resist vibration, thermal stress, and mechanical deformation while maintaining reliable backplane signal integrity between installed modules.

The TSXRKN8 is commonly used in:
Factory automation control systems
Water and wastewater treatment plant PLC master racks
Automotive assembly line controllers
Legacy TSX system modernization projects
It supports mixed module configurations including discrete I/O, analog I/O, and specialty control modules within a single control cabinet.
Is TSXRKN8 compatible with modern Modicon M580 systems?
No. The TSXRKN8 is designed for legacy TSX platforms. Modern systems require BMX/BME series rack architectures.
Does this rack include a power supply?
No. The TSXRKN8 is a mechanical rack and backplane only. A compatible Modicon power supply module must be installed separately in the dedicated power slot.
