VIGOR VB-16X V-BT161T0-0005 Product Description

Overview

VIGOR VB-16X V-BT161T0-0005 is a Vigor VB series PLC 16-point digital input expansion module. The official Vigor CD01 and VB series hardware manual lists VB-16X as a 16-point input module for VB0, CD01, VB and related Vigor PLC expansion systems. The separate code V-BT161T0-0005 appears to be an internal board, production or replacement reference; public search did not return a separate official datasheet for that exact code, so module ratings below follow the VB-16X VB series record and the board code should be verified against the module label or original PLC spare list.

Features

The VB-16X module provides 16 digital input points for connecting field dry contacts, pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity switches, relay contacts or NPN open-collector transistor signals. Vigor VB series input references list DC 24 V input signal, photocoupler isolation, bidirectional photocoupler input design, and terminal or IDC connector variants depending on the VB-16X suffix.

The CD01 hardware manual input specification lists input voltage DC 24 V ±15 percent, input signal circuit 7 mA at DC 24 V, input ON current above 3.5 mA, input OFF current below 1.7 mA, input resistance approximately 3.3 kΩ, and input response time approximately 10 ms, with X0 to X7 adjustable between 0 and 60 ms. Input signal type is dry contact or NPN open-collector transistor, with photocoupler isolation.

VB series expansion modules exchange I/O addresses with the main unit through the PLC expansion bus. The manual notes that expansion modules and special modules do not contain a built-in power unit and require power from the main board, expansion unit or VB-PWR power expansion unit. The VB-16X-C variant is described as using an ATX connector, while the standard VB-16X module terminal or connector arrangement should be confirmed from the actual module label and wiring diagram.

Principle

The digital input module conditions field switch or sensor signals for the PLC CPU. Each input point receives a DC 24 V contact or transistor signal through a current-limiting input circuit; the photocoupler isolates the field wiring from the PLC internal logic while passing an ON or OFF state to the CPU image table. Input LEDs indicate point status for panel troubleshooting and maintenance.

Replacement should match the VB-16X model, expansion slot position, I/O address assignment, input point count, connector type, terminal numbering, supply reference, sensor type, PLC main-unit series and firmware or programming convention. Because the supplied reference V-BT161T0-0005 may be a board or production code rather than the PLC catalogue model, compare the label, connector, wiring diagram, spare-parts list and PLC program before ordering. Do not replace the module while PLC or field circuits are live unless qualified isolation and lockout procedures are followed.

Applications

VIGOR VB-16X V-BT161T0-0005 is used in existing Vigor VB or CD01 PLC-based machine controls, conveyor panels, packaging machines, material handling equipment, assembly machines, injection molding auxiliary equipment, textile machinery, food or beverage machinery, small process panels and factory automation systems. In legacy installations, it serves as a direct replacement 16-point input spare when the VB series main unit, expansion bus, I/O mapping, connector and input wiring match the original module.
