Overview

This Galvanically Isolated Electronic Module is the perfect complement to our Intrinsically Safe Encoders. Together with our cable assemblies they constitute a completely engineered solution to operation in Class I Division 1 Hazardous Environments. Supply voltage to the barrier can be as high as 24 VDC and the barrier is used to supply voltage directly to the encoder. This all-in-one approach saves the cost and inconvenience of buying separate power and signal barriers as required by most other systems. This barrier is galvanically isolated and so saves the added cost of maintaining a high integrity earth ground. With differential line driver outputs, this barrier can be used to carry signals up to 500 feet with a bandwidth of up to 250 kHz.
