OPTICAL ISOLATOR ELECTRONIC MODULE ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS 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. MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Package dimensions are 114.4 mm high by 99 mm wide by 22.5 mm thick. The package mounts to a DIN rail type EN 50 022 (35mm X 7.5mm). A length of DIN rail is supplied with each module. The module simply snaps directly to the DIN rail and is ready to use. 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.

Connect encoder output A to optical isolator module input A/, B to B/ and Z to Z/. Connect the A, B, and Z inputs of the optical isolator to the auxiliary output terminal on the optical isolator module for 5V module and to higher voltage when specified by module model and part number. This connection results in a logic inversion within the optical isolator module. To compensate for the logic reversal, swap A for A/, B for B/, and Z for Z/ at the optical isolator outputs.

A typical symptom of this problem is missed or intermittent counts. As an example, a single-ended TTL receiver that is more than 20 feet from the encoder may not be able to compensate for the signal attenuation and ringing caused by the encoder cabling. An optical isolator module installed near the receiver as shown in Figure 4 can receive the signal, rejecting the cable effects and produce a signal compatible with the input device.

Optical isolator can be used to split an encoder output to drive up the 8 devices as shown in Figure 5. One optical isolator module is used to drive each receiver. Optical isolator modules can be specified with outputs to match receiver inputs; i.e. an encoder signal can be split to drive a differential TTL input with one module, a 12 V line driver with another module and provide an open collector, NPN signal with another module. * Also see the BEI Encoder Signal Broadcaster Module on page 5 for this application* FIGURE 5 CONNECTION DIAGRAM FORMULTIPLE, NON-COMPATIBLE RECEIVERS 24V Supply Opto Isolator 60001-003 24V Logic 12V Supply Encoder Supply V Opto Isolator 60001-003 5V Logic 12V Logic 5V Supply Opto Isolator 60001-003 Line Driver 5V Output 5V Logic 24V Supply Opto Isolator 60001-002 5V Logic Maximum of 8 Optical Isolator Modules Example 3: Repeater On extremely long cable runs (greater than 500 feet), an optical isolator module may be needed as a midpoint repeater to receive, amplify and re-broadcast the signal. An example is illustrated in Figure 6.
