Key Features

1. High-Density 16-Point AC Input
   • Provides 16 discrete input channels to monitor a large number of field devices, reducing system cost and saving rack space.
   • Accepts standard 120 VAC signals common in industrial control panels and machinery.
2. Dual-Group Electrical Isolation
   • Channels divided into two groups with 1500 VAC isolation between them, minimizing cross-group electrical interference and improving safety.
   • Optical isolation between field inputs and internal logic protects the PLC from voltage spikes and ground loops.
3. Fast & Reliable Signal Response
   • Delivers 1-cycle On and 2-ms Off response times for accurate, real-time status tracking of sensors and switches.
   • Strict on/off voltage thresholds (70–132 VAC On; 0–40 VAC Off) ensure noise immunity and prevent false triggering.
4. Hot-Swappable & Tool-Less Installation
   • Supports hot swapping for replacement without shutting down the PLC system, reducing maintenance downtime.
   • Snap-in DIN rail mounting enables quick, tool-less installation in either horizontal or vertical orientation.
5. Robust Industrial-Grade Design
   • Built to withstand wide temperature fluctuations and high electrical noise in factories, process plants, and harsh environments.
   • LED status indicators (per group/module) allow immediate visual diagnostics of power, channel status, and faults.
