Introduction
Programmable logic controllers rely on adequate memory to run complex logic and store production data. When a TSX Micro PLC reaches its built-in memory limit, processing slows and data logging suffers. The Schneider TSXMRP0256P memory card solves this problem directly. It is a RAM memory card built specifically for the TSX Micro PLC family. This spare part adds 256 kilowords of storage capacity, giving your controller the headroom it needs for demanding applications. Because it is an official Schneider Electric accessory, it matches the TSX Micro architecture without adapters or firmware changes.
Technical Specifications
The TSXMRP0256P delivers a focused set of parameters that matter for real installations.
- Storage capacity: 256 kilowords of RAM. This is the headline figure. It lets the PLC hold larger programs, more recipe data, and longer historical logs without offloading to external devices.
- Memory type: RAM. RAM provides fast read and write access, which suits cyclic control tasks and frequent data updates.
- Ambient temperature range: 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. This covers most climate-controlled control rooms and industrial cabinets.
- Operating humidity range: 80% non-condensing. The card tolerates humid environments as long as moisture does not condense on surfaces.
- Installation altitude: up to 1000 meters above sea level. Sites above this limit may see performance issues.
- Weight: 0.06 kg (0.13 lbs). The light weight simplifies handling during installation.

Why Choose the TSXMRP0256P for Your TSX Micro PLC
Angle D: Replacement and upgrade guide. Many plants still run TSX Micro PLCs on critical lines. When memory faults appear or when a project grows beyond the original capacity, a drop-in memory card is the fastest fix. The TSXMRP0256P restores full function and extends the service life of the controller you already own. That avoids the cost and downtime of a full PLC migration. As a classified spare part, it also serves as a smart insurance policy. Keep one on the shelf, and a memory failure becomes a quick swap instead of a production stoppage.
Industry Applications
1. Automotive assembly cells
TSX Micro PLCs often control small assembly stations. The 256-kiloword capacity stores step sequences and part-tracking data for multiple model variants. The 0 to 40 degrees Celsius range suits climate-controlled plant floors.
2. Food and beverage packaging
Packaging machines run fast cyclic logic. RAM memory supports rapid recipe changes between product batches. The 80% non-condensing humidity rating handles washdown areas when the cabinet stays sealed.
3. Water treatment monitoring
Remote pumping stations use TSX Micro PLCs for level and flow control. The 1000-meter altitude limit covers most lowland and mid-elevation sites. The card keeps trend logs available for operator review.
Installation and Setup
Installing the TSXMRP0256P follows standard TSX Micro accessory practice. Power down the PLC and follow your site lockout procedures. Open the memory compartment and insert the card firmly into its slot. Reassemble the controller, restore power, and verify that the PLC recognizes the added memory. Confirm the ambient temperature stays within 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. Keep the installation altitude below 1000 meters. Maintain humidity at or below 80% with no condensation. If you are unsure about compatibility with your exact TSX Micro revision, contact SpareTechPLC before ordering.
Maintenance and Reliability
RAM memory cards have no moving parts, so wear is minimal. The main risks are heat, moisture, and electrical transients. Inspect the card and its slot during scheduled maintenance. Check that cabinet fans and filters work correctly to hold the temperature inside the rated range. Look for any signs of condensation after seasonal changes. For safety-related systems, follow the manufacturer’s safety manual and inspect periodically. A simple visual check each quarter protects your investment and supports the ROI case for keeping spare cards on hand.
Compatibility and Integration
The TSXMRP0256P works with TSX Micro PLCs. It functions as a spare part or accessory within that product line. The card adds RAM capacity that the controller’s operating system manages directly. No external network or protocol configuration applies to this memory card. Always confirm your PLC model and current memory configuration before purchase. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with SpareTechPLC before ordering.
Selection Guide
Before you buy, check three things. First, confirm your controller belongs to the TSX Micro family. Second, note your current memory usage and decide whether 256 kilowords meets your growth plan. Third, review your site conditions against the 0 to 40 degrees Celsius range, the 80% non-condensing humidity limit, and the 1000-meter altitude ceiling. SpareTechPLC supplies this card as a reliable source for industrial automation spares. Their team can help you match the right memory card to your PLC.
