The Panasonic AFP0RE16P is an I/O module in the FP0R series, packing 8 digital inputs and 8 solid-state outputs into a single DIN-rail-mount package. That means one module handles both sensing and switching for a small machine zone—no separate input and output slices needed. It connects via a rectangular connector, so the wiring harness stays tidy and the panel layout stays predictable.
If you're coming from a panel built around the AFP0RE8X—an 8-input-only module—the AFP0RE16P drops into the same DIN-rail footprint and uses the same rectangular connector. The difference is the 8 solid-state outputs on board, so you can replace a separate output slice and cut one part number from the BOM.
