Opto 22 G4 digital input modules include the
G4IDC5B high-speed module and the G4IDC5MA
Description module with manual-on/manual-off/automatic
switch for diagnostic testing.
Opto 22’s G4 DC input modules are used to detect on/off DC
voltage levels. Each module provides up to 4000 volts
(transient) of optical isolation between field inputs and the
logic output of the circuit.
All DC input modules except the G4IDC5K and G4IDC5D are
designed with filtering on the input and a hysteresis amplifier,
providing high noise rejection and transient-free, “clean”
switching. The G4IDC5K is a fast-switching module used to
detect signals produced by photoelectric switches and TTL
devices. The low-cost G4IDC5D is used for data acquisition.
Part Numbers
The G4IDC5MA is a special module featuring a manual-on/
manual-off/automatic switch, ideal for diagnostic testing of Part Description
