Schneider LXN1604-6 Industrial Control Module

Engineered for precision automation, the Schneider LXN1604-6 control module handles complex industrial tasks with consistent reliability. This compact DIN-rail mounted device excels in environments requiring fast response times and robust communication capabilities, particularly for machinery control and process automation systems.

Commonly found in packaging lines, conveyor systems, and chemical processing plants, this module integrates seamlessly with Schneider’s Modicon PLC ecosystems. We frequently pair it with complementary components like the Modicon M340 series, Allen Bradley 1756 control modules, and GE Fanuc IC698CPE010 processors. A recent customer in the automotive sector successfully used it for robotic welding cell coordination, achieving 0.1ms response times despite challenging EMI conditions.

While some might find the IP20 rating limiting for outdoor use, its DIN rail design actually simplifies panel layout in control cabinets. The dual communication ports allow simultaneous connections to HMIs and drives without additional gateways. What really stands out is its thermal stability – I’ve seen installations maintain accuracy through temperature swings that would destabilize similar modules. When combined with Schneider’s Unity Pro software, configuration becomes surprisingly intuitive even for complex motion control tasks.
