6. Measures such as fail-safe function and redundant design should be taken to ensure reliability and safety when PoLabs devices are used for or in connection with equipment that requires higher reliability, for example: traffic control systems, anti-disaster systems, anticrime systems, safety equipment, medical equipment not specifically designed for life support, and other similar applications.
7. PoLabs devices shall not be used for or in connection with equipment that requires an extremely high level of reliability and safety, as for example: aircraft systems, aerospace equipment, nuclear reactor control systems, medical equipment or systems for life support (e.g. artificial life support devices or systems), and any other applications or purposes that pose a direct threat to human life.
8. You should use the PoLabs products described in this document within the range specified by PoLabs, especially with respect to the maximum rating, operating supply voltage range and other product characteristics. PoLabs shall have no liability for malfunctions or damages arising out of the use of PoLabs products beyond such specified ranges.
9. Although PoLabs endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of its products, semiconductor products have specific characteristics such as the occurrence of failure at a certain rate and malfunctions under certain use conditions. Further, PoLabs products are not subject to radiation resistance design. Please be sure to implement safety measures to guard them against the possibility of physical injury, and injury or damage caused by fire in the event of the failure of a PoLabs product, such as safety design for hardware and software including but not limited to redundancy, fire control and malfunction prevention, appropriate treatment for aging degradation or any other appropriate measures.
10. Usage: the software in this release is for use only with PoLabs products or with data collected using PoLabs products.

Introduction

PoOptoIn is 16-channels industrial digital optical isolator. Thanks to constant current LED driver circuit on input, isolator accepts input voltages from 5 to 24 volts. Digital outputs are open-collector type. Each digital input logic level is signalized with status LED if external 5V is applied to power connector. External 5V voltage is not a condition for PoOptoIn operation! With 20-pin IDC output connector is suitable for use with PoKeys57CNC board or any other microcontroller board.

Features

• 16-optical isolated digital outputs
• Recommended input voltages from 5 V to 24 V (Max. 36 V)
• Simple connection to PoKeys57CNC Reference/Limit switch input connector
• Screw terminals on inputs

Connectors and pinout

Usage examples

Each PoOptoIn input contains a serial diode for protection against incorrect wiring. Keep in mind that outputs are open collector. Output logical levels are inverted!
Input voltage level depends on sensor device specification (switch) and should not be supplied from the isolated side!

Connection to: NPN or PNP sensor type; standard 5V digital output, open collector output; ordinary switch

Technical specifications

• Recommended input voltage 5-24 VDC (36 V; short time < 1s)
• Isolation voltage 3000 VRMS
• Open collector Icmax 30 mA
• Switching frequency max 100 kHz
• Working temperature -20 °C ÷ +80 °C
• Weight 40g
• Mechanical dimensions [mm]
