Description

Discrete I/O Control Solution — MODICON AS-B805-016 | 800 Series

Where This Product Is Used

The MODICON AS-B805-016 is a 16-point discrete input module designed for the Modicon 800 Series PLC platform. It is widely deployed across demanding industrial environments where reliable digital signal acquisition is critical:

Manufacturing & Assembly Lines — Reads limit switches, proximity sensors, and pushbutton states on conveyor and assembly systems.
Process Control Plants — Monitors valve position feedback, flow switches, and level switches in chemical, oil & gas, and water treatment facilities.
Machine Tool & CNC Automation — Captures tool-change confirmations, door interlock signals, and spindle status inputs.
Packaging & Material Handling — Interfaces with photoelectric sensors and encoder pulse inputs on high-speed packaging lines.
Building Automation & HVAC — Integrates with damper end-switches, fan status contacts, and fire/smoke detector dry contacts.
Power Generation & Utilities — Acquires breaker status, relay contact states, and protective relay trip signals in substation control panels.

Why Engineers Specify This Model

Proven Platform Longevity — The Modicon 800 Series has decades of installed base in heavy industry; AS-B805-016 modules are still actively maintained and sourced for legacy system expansions and replacements.
Optical Isolation — Each input channel is optically isolated, protecting the PLC backplane from field-side voltage transients and ground loops common in industrial environments.
High Channel Density — 16 discrete inputs in a single slot minimizes rack space consumption and reduces wiring complexity compared to lower-density alternatives.
Direct Sensor Compatibility — Accepts standard 24 V DC NPN/PNP sensor outputs without additional signal conditioning hardware.
Simplified Diagnostics — LED status indicators per channel enable rapid field troubleshooting without a programming terminal.
Drop-in Replacement — Fully backward-compatible with existing Modicon 800 Series racks, enabling zero-configuration hot-swap in qualified maintenance scenarios.

Complete System Bill of Materials

For a complete Modicon 800 Series discrete input subsystem, the following components are typically required alongside the AS-B805-016:

Application-Specific FAQ

Q: Is the AS-B805-016 compatible with the Modicon 984 series PLC?
A: The AS-B805-016 is designed for the Modicon 800 Series I/O bus. Compatibility with Modicon 984 racks depends on the specific rack and adapter configuration. Contact us with your rack model for a definitive answer.

Q: Can this module accept 120 V AC field inputs?
A: No. The AS-B805-016 is rated for 24 V DC discrete inputs. For 120 V AC input applications, a different module (e.g., AS-B805-016 AC variant or equivalent) is required.

Q: What is the maximum cable length for field wiring to this module?
A: Modicon guidelines recommend keeping field wiring under 300 m for standard 24 V DC discrete inputs. For longer runs, use shielded cable and consult the hardware reference manual for derating guidelines.

Q: Do you offer programming or configuration support for this module?
A: Konmask specializes in hardware supply. For PLC programming services, we can refer you to qualified Modicon system integrators in your region.

Q: Is this a new or refurbished unit?
A: Units are sourced as new-old-stock (NOS) or factory-refurbished depending on availability. The condition is clearly stated on the product listing and confirmed in the order confirmation. Contact us if you require new-production units only.

Q: Can I return the module if it is not compatible with my system?
A: We accept returns within 14 days of receipt for unused, uninstalled modules in original packaging. See our Returns Policy or contact [email protected] for details.
