Product Overview
The Schneider TCSESM163F23F0 ConneXium Ethernet TCP/IP Managed Switch is an industrial Ethernet communication device used to connect multiple Ethernet-based automation components within a control network. It provides managed switching functions for industrial installations where controllers, distributed I/O, operator interfaces, drives, industrial computers, and supervisory systems need to exchange data over a structured Ethernet network.
The switch can be installed in a control cabinet as a central communication point between different automation devices. Its managed architecture allows network parameters and diagnostic functions to be handled at the switch level, which is useful when troubleshooting communication faults or maintaining a larger industrial Ethernet installation.
In a Modicon-based control environment, the TCSESM163F23F0 can connect control equipment with field-level and supervisory devices while maintaining the Ethernet communication structure defined by the system integrator. It can also be used in machine-level networks where multiple Ethernet nodes need to share a common industrial communication infrastructure.
The switch itself does not execute PLC logic or process field signals. Its role is to maintain the Ethernet communication path between connected devices and support the network management requirements of the automation system.

Working Principle
The TCSESM163F23F0 operates by receiving Ethernet frames from connected devices and forwarding them toward the appropriate network destination. The switch uses Ethernet addressing information to determine where communication traffic should be sent, allowing several connected devices to exchange information through the same network infrastructure.
A typical communication path is:
PLC / PAC → TCSESM163F23F0 → Ethernet Network Device → HMI / I/O / Drive / SCADA
For example, a PLC can exchange control data with remote I/O while an HMI retrieves process information from the controller through the same Ethernet infrastructure. The switch handles the corresponding frame forwarding between the connected network ports.
As a managed switch, it also supports network configuration and diagnostic functions. During commissioning, technicians can verify network connectivity and configuration. During maintenance, diagnostic information can help identify problems associated with individual ports, connected devices, or the network topology.
Role in an Industrial Ethernet Control Architecture
PLC / PAC → TCSESM163F23F0 → Remote I/O / HMI / Drives / Industrial PC → Supervisory Network
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| PLC / PAC | Executes control logic and exchanges automation data |
| TCSESM163F23F0 | Provides managed Ethernet switching and device connectivity |
| Remote I/O | Exchanges field input and output data with the controller |
| HMI | Provides operator monitoring and control functions |
