Product type and series follow official Delta document 5014154100 (Installation Instructions, issued 2024-02-23) which classifies AX-516AM20-0A as "16 DI, 24VDC, 2.5mA,1ms, Sink Input (PNP)". Source: https://downloadcenter.deltaww.com/en-US/DownloadCenter?q=AX-516AM20-0A. Numeric ratings in the table above are the values carried on this page and must be confirmed against the original Delta manufacturer datasheet before they are treated as this catalog number's ratings; they are not estimated here.

Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
Where it sits in the control system
The AX-516AM20-0A is the I/O element in a Delta control installation. It terminates the field signals listed above and hands them to the controller, so field wiring and protective devices are sized to the ratings stated in the manufacturer documentation, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in control panels, machine builds, spare-part replacements, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides DIN rail / panel support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Delta AX-516AM20-0A
Delta AX-516AM20-0A — PLC / CPU module used as the device-level control core in an automation panel, handling logic, timing and communication tasks. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number AX-516AM20-0A; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Mounting: DIN rail / panel — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Operating temperature: 0...+55 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Certifications: CE, UL, cULus — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.

Common questions about AX-516AM20-0A
Q.Which official Delta document defines AX-516AM20-0A?
The official Delta document 5014154100 (Installation Instructions, issued 2024-02-23) classifies AX-516AM20-0A as "16 DI, 24VDC, 2.5mA,1ms, Sink Input (PNP)". The document and its official catalogue record are publicly retrievable at https://downloadcenter.deltaww.com/en-US/DownloadCenter?q=AX-516AM20-0A. Use that document as the authority for ratings and installation conditions before ordering.
Q.What does the official Delta catalogue state about the point configuration of AX-516AM20-0A?
The official Delta download-centre record for AX-516AM20-0A describes this order number as "16 DI, 24VDC, 2.5mA,1ms, Sink Input (PNP)", so the specification table lists Digital inputs = 16. Source: https://downloadcenter.deltaww.com/en-US/DownloadCenter?q=AX-516AM20-0A
Q.Before ordering AX-516AM20-0A, which enclosure rating entry should be checked?
The enclosure rating entry quoted above is IP20 (IEC 60529). Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Where can I find the supply voltage data for AX-516AM20-0A?
It is listed in the specification table for Delta AX-516AM20-0A as 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2). Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.For AX-516AM20-0A, what does the specification table state about mounting?
The specification table lists mounting = DIN rail / panel for Delta AX-516AM20-0A. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of AX-516AM20-0A before ordering?
Match the catalog number AX-516AM20-0A and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
Q.Can the AX-516AM20-0A replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number AX-516AM20-0A and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
