Schneider AS-B805-016 Input Module

Overview

The Schneider AS-B805-016 is an input module designed for industrial automation systems in the Modicon series. It operates efficiently with an input voltage of 115 VAC and accommodates a wide voltage range, from 80 to 130 VAC. This module ensures reliable performance even in environments where voltage surges are common.

Key Features

Input Voltage: The AS-B805-016 is rated for 115 VAC but works well within the range of 80–130 VAC.
Max Input Voltage: It supports a maximum continuous voltage of 130 VAC and can endure input surges of up to 220 VAC for one cycle.
Number of Inputs: This module offers 16 inputs, organized into two groups of 8 for ease of integration.
ON and OFF Conditions:
- Z = 0Ω: OFF for input voltages of 0–35 VAC.
- Z > 40kΩ: OFF for voltages up to 130 VAC.
- ON: The module requires input voltages between 80 and 130 VAC with impedance less than 1kΩ.
- OFF: The OFF conditions depend on impedance:
Wetting Current: The module requires a 6 mA wetting current at 115 VAC.
Response Time:
- OFF to ON: The response time is typically 6 ms (4 ms in most cases).
- ON to OFF: The module typically responds within 18 ms (11 ms under standard conditions).
