Features:
- Receives sixteen 100–120 V AC field inputs.
- Uses photocouplers between the AC circuits and PLC logic.
- Occupies sixteen I/O points in a MELSEC-Q station.
- Displays the recognized state of every channel on front LEDs.
The terminal block carries the field voltage and grouped commons into the module.
Isolated input stages translate those voltages into backplane logic states for the CPU.
LED and PLC-monitor comparisons distinguish terminal-side faults from addressing faults.
The Mitsubishi QX10 MELSEC-Q 16-Point 100–120 V AC Digital Input Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Following an AC field signal into the PLC image
- Field voltage: A 100–120 V AC device applies voltage between an input and its group common.
- Input network: The module conditions the AC waveform before the isolation stage.
- Photocoupler: Optical isolation transfers the on/off decision to internal logic.
- Backplane state: The accepted channel state appears at the assigned PLC input bit.
Completing current paths for grouped field inputs
- Group reference: Each documented common closes the field circuit for its associated inputs.
- Shared failure: A loose common can disable several channels even when their signal wires are energized.
- Terminal check: Voltage is measured from the input terminal to the correct common.
- Circuit separation: Commons from unrelated supplies are not joined unless the wiring diagram permits it.
Relating the sixteen terminals to software addresses
- Module position: The installed slot establishes the input address range.
- Channel order: Terminal numbers map in sequence to the sixteen PLC input points.
- Project reference: Program symbols must use the address range assigned to the physical slot.
- One-point test: Applying one signal at a time confirms terminal-to-bit correspondence.
Using LEDs and software together to locate a missing input
- LED off: Inspect field voltage, terminal seating and the correct group common.
- LED on: The electrical input stage has recognized the field signal.
- Bit off: An on LED with an off program bit points to address or project mismatch.
- Multiple points off: Check the common and shared field supply before tracing individual conductors.
