Both inputs can be individually set to either symmetric (differential) format using
A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z channels, or to asymmetric (single-ended) format using A, B, Z channels only.
Acceptable input levels are RS422, TTL and HTL 10-30 volts.
The output format can again be selected individually for each output.
The outputs provide always all signals including the inverted channels, even when no inverted
signals are applied to the input.
With Control input 1 = LOW (or unconnected) and Control input 2 = HIGH the signal ways are as
shown in the drawing above, featuring two independent level converters.

2.1. Power supply
The unit requires a 12–30 volts DC power supply via the 2-position power terminal on the front
side (terminal 1 = +, terminal 2 = GND)
The current consumption is about 50 mA (aux. voltages and outputs unloaded)
2.2. Control inputs
The control inputs are accessible via the 3-position terminal strip on the front. They are in LOW
state when unconnected. To switch the inputs to HIGH state, a signal from +10 to +30 volts
must be applied to the corresponding terminal.
2.3. Encoder inputs
The input lines can be configured for different requirements by DIL switch setting. The
following input formats can be used:
Single-ended signals (asymmetric), channels A, B and Z only without inverted inputs
(Level is HTL 10–30 volts in general, exceptionally also TTL, see 2.4)
Differential signals (symmetric), channels A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z
(levels either according to RS422 standard or TTL or HTL 10-30 volts)

GV21002d_e.doc / Sep-13 Page 7 / 11
A, B and Z may at any time also be independent single signals, e.g. from proximities, photocells
etc. Since the level of every channel is selected individually (see DIL-switch), it is possible to
use different levels on the inputs. Consequently it is e.g. possible to take the position
information from the A, /A, B and /B channels of a RS422 encoder, but to add the
corresponding Z index pulse as a HTL signal from a remote photocell
With HTL signals, the switching threshold lies between 6.5 and 8 volts. The input uses an
internal pull-down resistor of 5kOhms.
Every of the two input terminals provides two auxiliary voltage outputs for easy encoder supply:
+5.2 volts/125 mA and +24 volts*/125 mA
*) Output = power supply voltage – 2 volts
2.4. Asymmetric TTL Inputs
Only when exceptionally asymmetric TTL input signals must be processed (i.e. TTL signals
without inverted signal), a 2-position DIL switch located behind the front plate must be set. This
hidden switch becomes accessible by slightly lifting up the front foil at the lower end
(e.g. by means of a small screw driver)
Switch position 1 is responsible for all channels of Input 1
Switch position 2 is responsible for all channels of Input 2

-
Pegel
Ex factory both switches are OFF, i.e. any
single-ended operation requires HTL levels
(this is the normal case)
Asymmetric TTL levels are most sensitive to
noise and interference, therefore not suitable for
cable transmission in an industrial environment!
For all general applications please do not touch the DIL switch hidden behind the front plate !
2.5. Outputs
The outputs provide push-pull characteristics. When set to TTL/RS422 level, the corresponding
output swing is always 5 volts. When set to HTL, the output swing depends on the power
supply input (12 – 30volts).
All outputs are short-circuit-proof.
At any time the signal and the appropriate inverted signal are both available at the output, even
when no inverted signal is applied to the input.

GV21002d_e.doc / Sep-13 Page 8 / 11
3. The Front LEDs
The green LED is lit as soon as a power supply voltage is applied to the unit.
The yellow LED indicates the state of the Control inputs and the basic function of the unit:
Yellow LED off: Control1 and Control2 are either both LOW or both HIGH at the same time. In
this case the unit operates as a splitter (both outputs are connected to the same input)
Yellow LED on: Control1 and Control2 have different states. In this case the unit operates as a
dual level converter or as a switcher (the outputs are connected to different inputs)

Please set unused input lines to “single-ended” HTL at any time!
It is not mandatory to use the same level for all channels of an input. The indications (A), (B), (Z)
show which switch position is responsible for which channel.
When e.g. positions 3 and 4 are set to “0” and position 5 is set to “1”, Input1 would accept
A, /A, B, /B at RS422 standard, and the Z index as a HTL single-ended signal.
Consequently it is possible to e.g. generate an Index from a remote photocell, whereas the
impulses come from the RS422 encoder simulation of a drive system.
