Transceiver shields against EMI/RFI.
Press Release Summary:
FAULHABER LT-1 transceiver converts unipolar square-wave signals to or from differential signals. When it is set to transmitter, it prevents square-signal degradation over distances up to 4,000 ft between motor, encoder, and control electronics. Measuring 2 in. long and 0.75 in. high, LT-1 offers 2 DB-9 connectors at each end and configuration switches to set it up as transmitter or receiver.Original Press Release:
LT-1 Transceiver Extends The Range Of Feedback Signal
The use of a FAULHABER LT-1 transceiver can be an inexpensive way to shield against EMI / RFI.
Clearwater, Florida, February 15, 2002: The LT-1 transceiver converts a unipolar square wave signal to or from a differential signal. When the LT-1 is set to transmitter it will prevent the degradation of the square signal over a long distance (up to 4,000 ft) between the motor, encoder and the control electronics. Changing the mode of the transceiver to receiver converts the signal back into an operable unipolar, square wave signal. The LT-1 is a simple and low cost solution to what can be a troublesome and often costly problem.
Benefits:
1. Allows communication with motors up to 4,000 feet from controller
2. Maintains encoder feedback signal integrity even in noisy environments by negating the interference of EMI or RFI interference from nearby electric equipment
3. Much more cost effective than fiber optics systems
4. Small size only 2 inches in length and 0.75 inches in height
5. Easy to install, just use a screwdriver
6. No additional power is required by the LT-1
Features:
1. Two standard DB-9 connectors at each end of the LT-1
2. Configuration switches to set up LT-1 as a transmitter or receiver
3. Low cost solution to a costly problem
