2. Key Selling Points

1. 16 Sinking (NPN-Compatible) Inputs: Provides 16 sourcing-type (PNP) digital inputs designed to interface with NPN sensors and sinking field devices, making it ideal for applications using negative-switching logic commonly found in global automation systems.

2. 24 VDC Standard Input Voltage: Operates at 24 VDC nominal voltage—the most widely used control voltage in industrial automation—ensuring seamless compatibility with a broad range of sensors, switches, and control signals.

3. High-Speed Signal Detection: Supports fast input response times, enabling reliable capture of high-frequency signals, ideal for use in high-speed counting, positioning, and rapid machine cycle applications.

4. Individual LED Indicators per Input: Each of the 16 inputs is equipped with a dedicated LED, allowing real-time visual monitoring for fast troubleshooting, system diagnostics, and easy commissioning.

5. Optical Isolation for Enhanced Reliability: Features electrical (optical) isolation between the field wiring and the PLC backplane, protecting the CPU from electrical noise, surges, and ground loops in harsh industrial environments.

6. Modular Plug-in Design for CJ-Series Racks: Seamlessly integrates into CJ1/CJ2 PLC systems as a standard I/O unit, supporting easy installation, system expansion, and hot-swap replacement (when configured accordingly) to reduce maintenance downtime.
