Product Details

Modicon AM-C916-100 is a reliable 16-bit plc cpu module and chassis mount processor originally produced by AEG Modicon for legacy Modicon control chassis. This 16-bit controller acts as the core processing unit for mid-size legacy automation racks, executing user logic, scanning local and remote I/O, and supporting data exchange with HMI, serial terminals and supervisory hosts. It runs sequential control, analog calculation and interlock protection for continuous industrial operation, and relies on backup battery to preserve program and register data when power fails. As a discontinued legacy spare, this plc cpu module serves as a drop-in replacement to restore full control performance for ageing Modicon automation racks without major system renovation.

Supported Functions

This plc cpu module supports logic program upload, download and modification, periodic I/O scanning and battery-backed data retention. The chassis mount processor performs built-in self-diagnosis to detect backplane errors, communication interruption and low battery warning. This 16-bit controller handles closed-loop calculation, alarm processing, recipe storage and serial data transmission. It can cooperate with various I/O and communication modules to expand control capacity for production lines, and send real-time process data and fault information to upper monitoring systems.

Core Functions

As the core chassis mount processor, this plc cpu module interprets and runs all user automation logic, converts sensor input signals into drive commands for field actuators, and maintains stable scan timing of the whole rack. It manages serial Modbus communication and coordinates connected I/O modules. This 16-bit controller works as a direct spare to recover central logic processing capability for ageing Modicon automation racks.
