Divide-By Module
BEI Sensors
The Divide-By Module option provides a method to divide the effective resolution and signal
frequency of a quardrature output incremental encoder. The Divide By option is available
with the BEI Optical Isolator and Broadcaster. The module receives quardrature counts
from an incremental encoder and divides them by a predetermined integer value. The index
signal is passed through without modication. When combined with the Optical Isolator a
single encoder can be used to feed different control devices, synchronizing their outputs at
different ratios. This can lower parts count and reduce overall system costs.
This module accepts single ended or differential inputs and divides the signal by a factory set
number from 2 to 256. The resulting output signal is a reduced resolution of the input signal.
Ideal for use in machine retrotting and for applications where a different resolution output is
needed from the same encoder source. When ordering, make sure to specify the divide-by
amount in the model number (see ordering options below).

Specications
Power:
The optical isolator can accommodate standard operating voltages from 5 to 28 VDC. It should
never be connected directly to AC power mains. The module draws approximately 75 mA and a
green LED indicates the unit is powered. The optical isolator module does not provide power to
the encoder. Any encoders used in conjunction with this module must be connected to their own
power.
Signal:
Specifying an optical isolator module requires knowledge of three system parameters: the DC
supply voltage available in the system; the encoder output type (logic levels and driver type); and
the input signal specications of the receiving electronics.

Package dimensions are 114.4 mm high by 99 mm wide by 22.5 mm thick. The package
mounts to a DIN rail type EN 50 022 (35mm X 7.5mm). A length of DIN rail is supplied with
each module. The module simply snaps directly to the DIN rail and is ready to use.
