POWER:

The optical isolator can accommodate standard operating
voltages from 5 to 28 VDC. It should never be connected
directly to AC power mains. The module draws approximately
75 mA and a green LED indicates the unit is powered. The
optical isolator module does not provide power to the encoder.
Any encoders used in conjunction with this module must be
connected to their own power.

SIGNAL:

Specifying an optical isolator module requires knowledge of
three system parameters: the DC supply voltage available in the
system; the encoder output type (logic levels and driver type);
and the input signal specifications of the receiving electronics.

This is a versatile interface between an incremental
encoder and receiving electronics. It accepts single
ended or differential inputs and provides single ended or
differential outputs in either an open collector or line
driver configuration. It accommodates all standard
operating voltages from 5 to 28 VDC. Up to eight Optical
Isolator Modules can be daisy-chained to provide
multiple, simultaneous outputs to controllers or PLC’s.
This Optical Isolator can help clean up noisy signals by
converting to a different line driver output. It has a 1
MHz throughput capability and can be used wherever a
fast, optically isolated interface is required.
