The APD 4930 IsoSplitter accepts a DC voltage or current input and provides two optically isolated DC voltage or current outputs that are linearly related to the input. The input range and each output range are independent and can be specified as required. This provides an economical solution when one signal must be sent to two different devices.
Typical applications include isolation, output splitting, output device separation and redundancy (i.e. to prevent failure of the entire loop if one device fails), or a combination of these.
The input signal is filtered, amplified, split, and then passed through an opto-coupler to the output stages. Full 4-way isolation (input, output 1, output 2, power) make this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection, and noise pickup reduction.
Independent Output
Each output channel is factory ranged to your specifications and provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that is linearly related to the input. Sourcing mA outputs are standard. Sinking milliamp or high voltage outputs are optional.
Isolation
The full 4-way (input, output 1, output 2, power) isolation makes this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection or noise pickup reduction.
LoopTracker
API exclusive features include two LoopTracker LEDs (one for each output channel) that vary in intensity with changes in the process output signals. These provide a quick visual picture of your process loop at all times and can greatly aid in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
