Professional FAQ (Experience-based & Selection Guide)
- Can I mix NPN and PNP sensors on this module?
Yes. Inputs are bipolar (source/sink type). They work with both NPN (sinking) and PNP (sourcing) sensors – just wire correctly. - How do I adjust the input filter time?
Use the FC5 programming software. Select from 16 levels (unfiltered to 100ms). Default is 1ms for most applications. - What is the maximum cable length for sensors?
Up to 100m with shielded cable, or 50m with unshielded cable. For long runs, use shielded twisted pair. - Which shipping carriers do you use for international orders?
We ship worldwide via FedEx, UPS, DHL. All services include tracking. Contact us for bulk discounts. - How do I choose between F5-MD1600 and MD0800?
Choose MD1600 if you need 16 inputs in one module (saves space). Choose MD0800 if you only need 8 inputs or want to distribute inputs across multiple slots.
Typical Applications
- Expand I/O capacity of FC5 PLC systems.
- Add many sensors to machines – proximity, limit, photoelectric.
- Upgrade old relay panels with digital monitoring.
- Distributed I/O in industrial automation.
- Educational PLC training systems.
