Designed by Trust Automation, the TA821 Copper Reduction modules convert electrical encoders, hall sensors, and limit signals to an optical signal and then back into electrical signals.The fiber-optic transmission of command signals and encoder feedback in distances up to 1,000 ft. reduces cost and adds reliability to motion control systems. According to the company, by eliminating costly cooper wire harnesses that are susceptible to electrical noise and lack flexibility, the reliability and performance of the system is enhanced.The TA821 modules are well suited for robotics, medical applications, linear slides, machining centers, and applications in high electrical noise areas as well as applications requiring high-flexibility
harnesses.
