Schneider Electric SXWAUTSVR10001 AS Automation Server 24VDC

Schneider Electric Automation Server AS (24 VDC) – SXWAUTSVR10001

The Schneider Electric SXWAUTSVR10001 is the foundational core controller of the legacy TAC / StruxureWare Building Operation (now EcoStruxure) platform. Designed for mission-critical supervisory control, data acquisition, and protocol routing, the Automation Server acts as both an embedded server and an active network controller. It coordinates high-speed local serial field buses, manages direct modular I/O expansions via an integrated proprietary bus, and serves real-time telemetry over dual-layer Ethernet infrastructures.

The unit relies on 24 VDC clean input delivered via dedicated power modules (such as the PS-24V). Its robust architecture decouples the electronic brain from the field termination through a dual-component design: the server electronics snap securely into the TB-AS-W1 terminal base, isolating vibration and allowing hot-swap field servicing without disconnecting field instrumentation and network cabling.

Technical Specifications

Features

1. Embedded High-Performance Routing Engine: Native multi-protocol gateway providing concurrent communications across BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and LonWorks (FTT-10A) without third-party protocol converters.
2. Modular Two-Piece Architecture: Patented plug-in design separating the active server module from the passive TB-AS-W1 field wiring base, preserving wiring integrity and system configuration during physical changeouts.
3. Integrated Dual-Port RS-485 Subsystems: Two electrically isolated, individually configurable RS-485 serial ports supporting multi-drop field devices (chillers, VFD drives, energy meters, marine reefer panels).
4. Scalable Local I/O Bus: Backplane high-speed communication ribbon support driving up to 32 SmartX / SBO analog and digital I/O expansion slices directly adjacent to the controller.
5. Non-Volatile Memory Retention: Industrial flash architecture safeguards trends, logs, alarm dispatch schedules, and marine vessel control configurations across total blackouts and emergency switchover bus interruptions.

Compatibility:

• Terminal Bases: Requires Schneider Electric TB-AS-W1 (SXWTBASW110001). Note: Will not dock into newer AS-P specific TB-ASP-W1 bases due to keyway pin differentiation.
• Power Supply Modules: Fully matched to PS-24V (SXWPS24VX10001) 24 VAC / 21–30 VDC supply blocks.
• Modular I/O Slices: Compatible with all first and second-generation SmartX I/O modules:
  • Universal Inputs: UI-16/16-F, UI-8/AO-4, UI-8/AO-V-4, UI-8/DO-FC-4
  • Digital Inputs: DI-16
  • Digital & Relay Outputs: DO-FA-12, DO-FC-8, RT-8
  • Analog Outputs: AO-8, AO-V-8
• Software Platforms: Engineered for StruxureWare Building Operation (SBO) versions 1.2 through 1.9, with extended migration driver support in EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO) v2.0 through v3.x.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I factory reset the Schneider Electric SXWAUTSVR10001 to default IP settings?

Use a non-conductive pin to depress the reset button located behind the front faceplate cover. Press and hold the reset pin for 10 to 15 seconds while the unit is powered. Release once the Status LED switches from solid orange to a rapid green flash pattern. The server will reboot into its factory fallback IP state (typically 192.168.1.110 with default subnets), allowing web browser or Device Administrator commissioning.

Can the SXWAUTSVR10001 directly replace an AS-P (SXWASPXXX10001) server?

No. While both operate within the EcoStruxure / StruxureWare universe, the AS-P is a higher-specification successor that uses a dedicated TB-ASP-W1 base with different bus pin allocations and power draw capabilities. The SXWAUTSVR10001 must be replaced with the exact SXWAUTSVR10001 part number or properly migrated along with its corresponding terminal base and engineering database.

What is the purpose of the TB-AS-W1 base, and is it mandatory?

The TB-AS-W1 terminal base is completely mandatory. The SXWAUTSVR10001 server houses only the core logic processor, network transceivers, and front-facing interfaces. All physical screw terminal blocks for 24 VDC power, COM A, COM B, and LonWorks are situated permanently on the TB-AS-W1 base.

How many field I/O expansion modules can this Automation Server power directly?

The server core consumes approximately 7 Watts. Power for adjacent SmartX I/O expansion modules does not originate from the server; it passes through the TB-AS-W1 base rail via the PS-24V power module. A standard PS-24V power module delivers up to 30 W of usable backplane power, typically handling the server plus 6 to 10 typical I/O modules before an additional power supply module slice must be injected.

Which field communication protocols can run concurrently on this device?

The Automation Server natively supports simultaneous operation of BACnet/IP (via Ethernet), BACnet MS/TP (on COM A or B), Modbus RTU (on COM A or B), Modbus TCP (via Ethernet), and LonWorks FTT-10A (via dedicated Lon terminals) without conflicting bus states.
