Overview
The Schneider AS-B805-016 is a 115VAC input module that senses and converts switched input signals into logic voltage levels for PLC processing. This module allows for up to 16 inputs in 2 groups of 8. The AS-B805-016 provides 16 input points, divided into two groups of eight, for use in industrial automation systems. These inputs can be received from push buttons, limit and proximity switches, as well as other 115 Vac sources. The module integrates seamlessly into Modicon 800 series control architectures, making it an ideal replacement or expansion component for legacy systems.
Key Features
- 16 Discrete Input Points: Two groups of 8 inputs for flexible field signal management
- 115VAC Operation: Operates between 80 to 130V AC at 47-63 Hz, suitable for various industrial applications
- Compact Single-Slot Design: 1-slot design allows for efficient space utilization within automation panels; lightweight yet robust at just 2.2 lbs (1.01 kg)
