4. Functionality
The AX-IAC5A functions as an AC input interface module that detects the presence or absence of an AC voltage signal within the specified range (180–280 VAC). When an AC signal is applied to the input terminals, the internal circuitry—comprising a rectifier, current-limiting network, and opto-isolator—converts the AC signal into a DC logic-level output. This output can then be read by a PLC or control system as a digital “ON” or “OFF” state.
