Figure 3-2 Group Input Circuit The input signals are passed via a D25 male connector to the BI-0433. Each D25 connector receives the signals for three channels. Opto-couplers are used for galvanic isolation between the differential signals and the system. Each opto-coupler input circuit meets the requirements of the RS-422-A standard and converts the differential input signal to a standard TTL signal. The 'minus' input can be connected to ground, to let the 'plus' input accept a single ended input signal.
Figure 3-3 Input Signal Termination All input signals are received using the circuit as depicted in Figure 3-3. The combination of the parallel resistors, diodes and the series capacitor give an input impedance that approximates a nominal termination value of 120 Ohm. Differential input signals are properly terminated by this input circuitry and no additional termination is required.
