Terminal modules

Terminal modules are used to convert connector-type I/O terminals into terminal blocks.
By using terminal blocks (built-in element type) dedicated to input or output, capturing of AC input signals and format conversion into the relay/transistor/triac output can be performed.

Model	No. of input points	No. of output points	Function
	FX-16E-TB	16 input points or 16 output points		Directly connected to the I/O terminal of PLC. Using this unit instead of a terminal block or relaying a wiring of I/O device located remotely from PLC enables reducing of the man-hours of I/O wiring.
	FX-16E-TB/UL
	FX-32E-TB	32 input points, 32 output points, or 16 input points and 16 output points
	FX-32E-TB/UL
	FX-16EYR-TB	-	16 points	Relay output type
	FX-16EYR-ES-TB/UL
	FX-16EYS-TB			Triac output type
