Here I''ll introduce programmable logic controller (PLC) input circuits using opto-couplers. We use these devices to interface high voltage sensors to low voltage microcontroller logic and to isolate sensitive
It typically consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) on the input side and a photodetector (usually a phototransistor, photodiode, or photoSCR) on the output side, all enclosed in a light-tight package.

An opto-isolator connects input and output sides with a beam of light modulated by input current. It transforms useful input signal into light, sends it across the dielectric channel, captures light on the
For example, input specs consist of information about the light source, such as an LED''s forward current, power dissipation, or wavelength. Output specs often include similar information about the device''s

The main purpose of an optocoupler interface is to completely isolate the input circuit from the output circuit, which normally means there will be two completely separate power supplies, one for the input

This basic optocoupler circuit will specifically respond well to ON/OFF switching input signals. However, if required the circuit can be modified to work with analog input signals and
In order to design a functionally robust and reliable application with optocouplers, it is essential to understand not only the device''s main parameters and parasitic elements, but also their tolerances
Optocouplers consist of an input and an output side. Since there is a lot of energy being converted into light and power, the input side is more critical in terms of the lifetime.

The basic design of an optocoupler consists of a light source, usually an LED (Light-Emitting Diode), driven by the input signal which could be a digital or analogue voltage/current
