The PCLT-2A, , built on the well-proven ASD (Application Specific Devices) technology, is a a new current limited over-voltage protected digital termination for industrial automation device designed for 24 V DC applications and achieves the front-end circuitry of a digital input module (I/O) in industrial automation, such as decentralized I/O module or PLC I/O's.
Available in a two channels configuration, it offers a high-density termination by minimizing the conducting dissipation and the external components count. It is housed in a surface mount package to reduce the printed board size.
Made of an input voltage protection, a serial current limiting circuit and an output interface, each channel circuit terminates the connection between the logic input and its associated high side sensor or switch.The PCLT-2A is compatible with the type 2 (7.5 mA) or type 3 (3 mA) characteristic of the IEC61131-2 standard. An external resistance RREF allows the limiting current value to be adjusted from 3 to 7.5 mA.
The unique structure of the PCLT limiter allows its activation threshold to be low and insensitive to the output voltage up to 2.5 V. Each input voltage clamping block protects the module input against electromagnetic interferences such as those described in the IEC61131-2 standard and IEC61000-4-2 (ESD), 4-4 (transient burst), 4-5 (voltage surge) and 4-6 (conducted radio frequency interferences) standards. The supply input is also designed with such a protection structure.
The PCLT sensor termination has been designedfor I/O modules in factory automation. Its flexibility will allow designers to develop a large variety ofinput types in isolated and non-isolated versions.
With its robust protection and its current limiter, itis a low-loss EMI-proof solution for highly integrated module interfacing with proximity sensors.
