User guide

The BROADCASTER accepts standard incremental encoder inputs, (two channels in quadrature plus an
index and complements) and can broadcast up to four encoder signals to four independent devices. Each
of the broadcast signals is optically isolated eliminating ground loops. This compact package also allows
for signal processing options, such as anti-dither filter, integer countdown or pulse and direction outputs, to
be incorporated into each of the four broadcast signals independently. The broadcaster is ideal for driving
multiple receivers from a single encoder in applications like electronic line shafting or synchronization of
multiple devices to a single operation.

• Broadcasts signals from a single encoder to
four independent receivers
• Signal processing modules (pulse converter,
integer countdown, anti-dither) can be added
to each output for additional capabilities
• Accepts all standard input voltages and
types: single ended, differential and open
collector
• Signals are optically isolated for high noise
immunity
• Compact package saves installation costs
