OTC-22: Loop-Powered Optical Signal Isolator          specsheet  

Features:

  • Ideal for PLC-to-Transmitter Interfacing
  • Connects to PLC like a Two-Wire Transmitter
  • High Input-Output-Power Isolation (1500VAC Test)
  • Small Size - Fits on Terminal Block Rail
  • Fast Response Time (typ. 1 msec)
  • Industry Standard 4-20mA Input and Output
  • Loop-Powered - No External Power Required
  • High Noise Rejection
  • CSA and NRTL Approved (LR51078)

Function:
The OTC-22 provides high isolation from Input to Output in a small, easy to install package. The universal DIN rail mount often makes it possible to install the OTC-22 right next to the instrument that is to be isolated.

The OTC-22 is optically isolated to eliminate all electrical interference from input to output. Two-wire inputs and outputs require no external power to be applied to the OTC-22. The unit simply uses the existing power in the 4-20mA input & output loops. This makes it very easy to retrofit existing installations that show signal instability due to ground loops etc.

These properties make the OTC-22 ideal for front-end interfacing on PLC’s that have two-wire inputs only. The OTC-22 essentially acts like a two-wire transmitter on the PLC side (OTC-22 output) and like a standard load on the transmitter side (OTC-22 input).
