<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>Modicon AS-B805-016</strong> is a 16-point AC input module engineered for seamless integration into industrial automation systems and PLCs. This module efficiently converts switched input signals into logic voltage levels, facilitating reliable communication with programmable logic controllers. Part of the Modicon 800 Series I/O family, it provides robust signal conditioning for standard industrial applications requiring 115VAC input sensing.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>16-Point Input Capacity</strong> — Organized into two groups of eight for structured signal management.</li>
<li><strong>Electrical Isolation</strong> — Each input point is electrically isolated from logic circuitry, enhancing system safety and reliability.</li>
<li><strong>Standard Screw Terminals</strong> — Simplifies user wiring and connection; supports rigid wiring system for maintenance-free module removal.</li>
<li><strong>Compact Form Factor</strong> — Single-slot I/O rack mounting optimizes space in control cabinets.</li>
<li><strong>Wide Input Voltage Range</strong> — Operates 80–130VAC at 47–63 Hz for compatibility with standard industrial power supplies.</li>
