Overview
The Modicon AS-J810-000 Remote I/O Adapter is a critical interface module within the Modicon 984 Series lineup. The AS-J810-000 is a Modicon Interface Module manufactured by Schneider Electric, providing remote I/O distribution capabilities for legacy and ongoing automation control networks. This adapter connects head-end PLC systems to remote I/O racks via standardized cabling, enabling distributed control across multiple locations.
Key Features
- Equipped with a BNC connector for reliable signal transmission
- Rack mounted and requires a support power supply
- Switch settings are among the most complex of any remote I/O device that Modicon developed, allowing fine-tuned network configuration
- Compatible with 200, 500, 800 Series, and Quantum I/O in mixed installations
- Backward-compatible design supports legacy Modicon automation platforms
Technical Specifications
The AS-J810-000 operates as a 984 Series Remote I/O adapter and interfaces with Modicon controllers and distributed I/O racks. It requires external power supply support and uses a BNC connector standard for remote I/O networks. Configuration relies on complex switch settings to match network topology and I/O requirements. The device is typically used in conjunction with the AS-0185-000 tap for multi-drop remote I/O networks.
Typical Applications
- Distributed I/O expansion for Modicon 984 PLC systems
- Remote equipment control in manufacturing and process automation
