Circuit Overview
The circuit overview varies based on module series.
Series A and B Modules
To make sure your signal source and the module are compatible, you must
understand the electrical characteristics of your output driver and its
interaction with the 1756-HSC input circuit.
As shown in the illustration, the most basic circuit consists of R1, R2, the
photodiode, and associated circuitry around half of the opto-isolator. The
resistors provide first-order current limiting to the photodiodes of the dual
high-speed opto-isolator.
When a signal is applied to the 12-24V inputs (pins 13 and 17 in the graphic), the
total limiting resistance is R3 + R4 = 1150 . Assuming a 2V drop across the
photodiode and R7 and R8, you would have 8...21 mA demanded from the
driving circuit as the applied voltage ranged from 12V...24V.
