5B45/5B46 Isolated, Frequency Input

Introduction

Models 5B-45-05_46-01The 5B45 and 5B46 are single-channel isolated frequency input modules that produce a 0 to +5 V output proportional to input frequency. Model 5B45 accepts full-scale inputs ranging from 500 Hz to 20 kHz. Model 5B46 accepts full-scale inputs ranging from 20 kHz to 275 kHz. Both models allow the user to set the threshold to either 0 V (for zero crossing signals) or +1.4 V (for positive level signals), and the hysteresis to either ±25 mV or ±400 mV (all input types).

The 5B45 and 5B46 protect the computer side from field-side overvoltage faults. All models withstand 240 V rms at their input terminals without damage, thereby shielding computer-side circuitry from field-side overvoltage conditions. In addition, all 5B45 and 5B46 models are mix-and-match and hot-swappable, so can be inserted or removed from any socket in the same backplane without disrupting system power.

Inside 5B45/5B46 Modules
 
The 5B45/46 internal circuitry compares the input signal to the user-selected threshold (VT) and hysteresis (VH). Signals of virtually any wave shape that exceed the combined threshold and hysteresis levels (VT ±VH) will trigger a comparator at a rate determined by the input frequency. The comparator output is then transmitted across a proprietary transformer-coupled isolation barrier and converted to a high-level analog signal. This signal is then filtered by a multi-pole low pass Butterworth filter and buffered to provide a low-noise, low-impedance output signal that is accurately proportional to input frequency.

Simple Setup and Versatile Choices 

Setting the threshold and hysteresis values is a simple matter of externally wiring to the backplane screw terminals. The threshold for measuring a zero-crossing voltage waveform (such as sine waves) is set to 0 volts by connecting the input signal across screw-terminals 4 and 3. The threshold for a positive level signal (such as a TTL or pulse train waveform) is set at +1.4 V by connecting the input signal across terminals 3 and 2. Hysteresis for both input signal types is set at ±400 mV, but can be changed to ±25 mV by adding a jumper between screw terminals 1 and 4.

Response time is a function of a modules rated input frequency range. (See the 5B45 and 5B46 Model Table).

Convenience Features 

The input circuit is fully floating and isolated from the output and power commons. In addition, the output section acts as a third floating port towards eliminating possible problems from ground loops and power supply noise. The output common must be held within ±3 V of power common.

A series output switch eliminates the need for external multiplexing in many applications. The switch is turned on by an active-low enable input. The enable input should be grounded to power common if the output need not be switched as it is on the 5B01 and 5B08 backplanes.
