High Speed Optical Isolators (Encoder Input)

FC-ISO Series Encoder Signal Conditioners / Opto Isolators

• The FC-ISO-C Encoder signal conditioner and optical isolator with open collector output is ideal for use with single-ended (open collector, NPN, pull-up, push-pull, totem pole) or differential line driver encoders. Optical isolation separates the input signals from three complementary open collector outputs (A, B, Z, A-not, B-not, Z-not) rated for 5-36 VDC that can be used in single-ended configurations.
• The FC-ISO-D Encoder signal conditioner and optical isolator with differential line driver output is also ideal for use with single-ended (open collector, NPN, pull-up, push-pull, totem pole) or differential line driver encoders. Optical isolation separates the input signals from three differential line driver outputs (A, B, Z, A-not, B-not, Z-not) rated for 5 VDC.

Applications

• Provide optical isolation between an encoder signal and PLC, servo drive, or other input device
• Solve electrically noisy signal problems
• Use as a repeater to allow longer cable runs
• Convert a differential line driver encoder signal to an open collector single-ended signal
• Change encoder signal voltage to match receiving electronics input
• Ideal for use with encoders, servo drive encoder signal inputs and outputs, or as a multi-channel, high speed optically isolated interface for sensors like photoelectric and proximity switches
