2. Key Selling Points

1. 16 Sinking (NPN) Digital Inputs: Provides 16 high-speed DC inputs designed for use with sourcing field devices (e.g., PNP sensors, switches with positive logic), making it ideal for international automation systems using common positive-switching sensor configurations.

2. High-Speed Input Capability: Supports fast signal response times, enabling reliable detection of rapid pulses and high-frequency signals—suitable for applications involving counters, encoders, and fast machine cycles.

3. 24 VDC Nominal Input Voltage: Operates on standard 24 VDC control voltage, compatible with most industrial sensors and switchgear, ensuring seamless integration into modern control panels.

4. Individual LED Status Indicators: Each input point has a dedicated LED, providing real-time visual feedback for easy troubleshooting, system monitoring, and commissioning.

5. Electrical Isolation from Backplane: Features optical isolation between the field-side inputs and the PLC internal circuitry, enhancing noise immunity and protecting the CPU from electrical surges and ground potential differences.

6. Plug-in Design for CJ-Series Racks: Easily installs as a standard I/O unit on CJ1 or CJ2 backplanes, supporting modular system expansion and hot-swap capability (with proper configuration) for reduced maintenance downtime.
