Field wiring, COM grouping, and the full contact list for the MPS-16A8R8T 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.
