Field wiring, COM grouping, and the full contact list for the MPS-16A8R are documented in the user manual (download below). I/O is addressed by contact name (P0…, P32…, AI0…, PWM0…). Digital inputs are opto-isolated and accept NPN or PNP sensors depending on COM wiring; outputs and analog ranges follow the terminal layout in the manual.
Software
MP STUDIO — Ladder Logic
The MPS series is programmed in MP STUDIO, a free ladder-logic IDE. Draw the control logic as a ladder diagram and call analog, temperature, high-speed counter and pulse output straight from function blocks.

Before the first download
Install MP STUDIO from the ILOGICS download centre, pick your model in the device list, set the COM port, and you can download straight away.
This model connects to the PC with an ordinary USB cable — no MP download cable is required, and the driver is Silicon Labs CP210x.
