Overview
The Modicon AS-B805-016 is a 16-point, 115VAC input module engineered for industrial automation systems. As part of the Modicon 800 Series I/O architecture, this module efficiently converts switched input signals into logic voltage levels, enabling direct communication with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Each input point is electrically isolated from logic circuitry, ensuring system safety and reliability.
Key Features
- 16-point input capacity organized in two groups of eight for structured signal management
- Accepts 115VAC inputs from pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, and other AC sources
- Operates across 80–130VAC range at 47–63 Hz, compatible with standard industrial power supplies
- Electrical isolation between input points and logic circuitry enhances system safety
- Standard screw terminal strip for straightforward wiring and quick connections
- Single-slot I/O rack mounting; minimal footprint design
