Opto 22’s G4 DC input modules are used to detect on/off DC voltage
levels. Each module provides up to 4000 volts (transient) of optical
isolation between field inputs and the logic output of the circuit.

Opto 22 G4 digital input modules include the
G4IDC5B high-speed module and the G4IDC5MA
module with manual-on/manual-off/automatic
switch for diagnostic testing.
All DC input modules except the G4IDC5K and G4IDC5D are designed
with filtering on the input and a hysteresis amplifier, providing high
noise rejection and transient-free, “clean” switching. The G4IDC5K is a
fast-switching module used to detect signals produced by
photoelectric switches and TTL devices. The low-cost G4IDC5D is
used for data acquisition.
The G4IDC5MA is a special module featuring a
manual-on/manual-off/automatic switch, ideal for diagnostic testing
of control applications.
The G4IDC5-SW and G4IDC5-SWNC modules supply power to an
external dry contact switch and sense switch closure (SW) or opening
(SWNC).
Typical applications for DC input modules include sensing the
presence or absence of voltage and sensing contact closure from
sources such as proximity switches, limit switches, selector switches,
push buttons, photoelectric switches, and TTL-compatible devices.

Each G4IDC5-SW and G4IDC5-SWNC module provides one isolated
channel of contact status input. Each module supplies 13 volts of
power to an external dry contact switch. The G4IDC5-SW senses
switch closure; the G4IDC5-SWNC senses switch opening. Each
user-supplied switch is connected with two wires. Because these
modules include power for the switch, they are particularly
cost-effective when labor costs for wiring external power are high.
Typical switches for use with these modules are switched status
sensors (level sensors, pressure indicators, etc.), magnetic reed
switches (used on doors or windows for burglar alarms), snap-action
micro switches, the auxiliary switches on motor starters, and most
relay contacts.
CAUTION: G4IDC5-SW and G4IDC5-SWNC inputs are not intended to
be used with contacts that are connected to any external
user-supplied voltage or currents.
