The Panasonic AFP0RE8X is an 8-channel digital input module belonging to the FP0R series of compact PLC I/O.
Eight digital inputs means this module handles eight discrete signals — limit switches, proximity sensors, pushbuttons — at 24 VDC typical for the FP0R family. The rectangular connector termination is the FP0R backplane standard — no screw terminals on the module itself. This keeps wiring to the base unit and speeds replacement, but means the I/O cable harness must be planned at the panel design stage.
For a BOM line requiring this exact 8-input module, the active status means you can specify it into new designs and order against an RFQ without obsolescence risk. The FP0R series is a mature platform, so documentation and support are well established.
The rectangular connector mates with the base unit's expansion bus, so the module draws its power and communication from the rack. Plan for the module's width in your DIN rail layout; it occupies one slot in the FP0R I/O bank.
