TSI2 can be DIN rail mounted within the machine control cabinet.   TSI 3 units are DIN rail-mounted and feature an 'Easy fit' location mechanism.   As  the TSI2 but with Solid state relay (SSR) output for easier user configuration.   As  the TSI3 but with Solid state relay (SSR) output for easier user configuration.

TSI2 specification

Specification  
Principal application Hard-wired probing systems with HPRA and HPPA
Mounting DIN rail mounting
Outputs 1. Probe status (no complement)
2. Position confirm signals (machine ready and arm ready)
Output signal format 1. Unipolar active high probe status outputs (non configurable)
2. Unipolar active high confirm outputs for machine ready and arm ready positions (non configurable)
Other I/O Can be connected to either a standard single wire probe input or the four wire alternative.
Select any one output for single wire probe input or utilise all four inputs/outputs for four wire probe inputs.
Power supply 18 V - 30 V dc, Imax = 50 mA not including output loading.
Fuse protected at 250 mA (FF)
TTL compatibility Not compatible
Inputs 1. Inhibit
2. Probe select inputs
Input signal format 1. Internally pulled down (2k4) ACTIVE HIGH
2. Internally pulled down (2k4) ACTIVE HIGH
Probe vibration filter A trigger delay circuit (6.5 ms) can be activated by reversing the brown and white wire connections to the TSI2 (PL2-1 and PL2-3)
