Compact Allen-bradley 4100-ef08 Series [dw41eyMC]

Compact Allen-bradley 4100-ef08 Series [dw41eyMC] | High-Density 8-Channel Encoder Buffer Unit for Motion Control

Overview

The Compact Allen-bradley 4100-ef08 Series [dw41eyMC] is an 8-channel encoder buffer designed to duplicate RS422 TTL quadrature encoder signals for use in motion control and automation systems. Each channel offers a buffered replica of the input, ensuring reliable signal distribution without degradation across multiple receiving devices.

Key Features

• Input Type: RS422 TTL incremental quadrature signal

• Output Channels: 8 independent buffered outputs

• Power Supply: 24V DC nominal (range: 18–36V DC)

• Encoder Supply Options: Selectable 5V or 12V DC to power the encoder

• Output Power Per Channel: Selectable 5V DC, 0.2A max

• LED Indicators: Show power and encoder voltage status

• Mounting: DIN rail with integrated mounting feet

• Signal Direction: Configurable per channel (“As Master” or “Reversed”)
