Overview
The Modicon AS-B805-016 is a 115VAC digital input module part of the Modicon 800 Series discrete I/O family. The B805-016 115 Vac (16 point) Input Module senses and converts switched input signals into logic voltage levels used by the PLC. The module allows for up to 16 inputs in 2 groups of 8. This module is widely used in legacy and mid-life PLC installations for manufacturing, process control, and machinery automation.
Key Features
- 16 Digital Input Points: Inputs can be received from push buttons, limit and proximity switches, as well as other 115 Vac sources.
- Input Grouping: Organized as two independent groups of 8 inputs for flexible signal distribution
- Standard Screw Terminals: Standard Screw Terminal Strip facilitates straightforward user connections, simplifying the wiring process.
- Modular Design: Rigid Wiring System allows for module insertion or removal without disturbing existing wiring, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
- Compact Form Factor: Occupies a single slot within the I/O rack, optimizing space utilization.
- Easy Installation: Compatible with standard Modicon 800 Series I/O racks with no special configuration required
