Optical Isolation for Field Bus Networks
To recognize the full benets of these networks, Avago
optocouplers are recom mended to provide galvanic iso-
lation. As network communication is bi-directional (in-
volving receiving data from and transmitting data onto
the network), two Avago optocouplers are needed. By
providing galvanic isolation, data integrity is retained
via noise reduction and the elimination of false signals.
In addition, the network receives maximum protection
from power system faults and ground loops.
Within an isolated node, such as the DeviceNet Node
shown in Figure 16, some of the nodes components are
referenced to a ground other than V- of the network.
Figure 16. Typical DeviceNet Node
These components could include such things as devices
with serial ports, parallel ports, RS-232 and RS-485 type
ports. As shown in Figure 16, power from the network is
used only for the transceiver and input (network) side of
the optocouplers.
Isolation of nodes connected to any of the three types of
digital eld bus networks is best achieved by using the
HCPL-772X/072X optocouplers. For each network, the
HCPL-772X/072X satisify the critical propagation delay
and pulse width distortion require ments over the tem-
perature range of 0 °C to +85 °C, and power supply volt-
age range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V.

Implementing CC-Link with the HCPL-772X/072X
CC-Link (Control and Communication Link) is developed
to merge control and information in the low-level net-
work (eld network) by PCs, thereby making the mul-
tivendor environment a reality. It has data control and
message-exchange function, as well as bit control func-
tion, and operates at the speed up to 10 Mbps.
Figure 17. Recommended CC-Link application circuit
Power Supplies and Bypassing
The recommended CC-Link circuit is shown in Figure
17. Since the HCPL-772X/072X are fully compatible
with CMOS logic level signals, the optocoupler is con-
nected directly to the transceiver. Two bypass capacitors
(with values between 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF) are required
and should be located as close as possible to the input
and output power supply pins of the HCPL-772X/072X.
For each capacitor, the total lead length between both
ends of capacitor and the power supply pins should not
exceed 20 mm. The bypass capacitors are required be-
cause of the high speed digital nature of the signals in-
side the optocoupler.

Implementing DeviceNet and SDS with the HCPL-772X/072X
With transmission rates up to 1 Mbit/s, both DeviceNet
and SDS are based upon the same broadcast-oriented,
communica tions protocol — the Controller Area Network
(CAN). Three types of isolated nodes are recommended
for use on these networks: Isolated Node Powered by
the Network (Figure 18), Isolated Node with Transceiver
Powered by the Network (Figure 19), and Isolated Node
Providing Power to the Network (Figure 20).
Figure 18. Isolated node powered by the network.
Isolated Node with Transceiver Powered by the Network
Figure 19 shows a node powered by both the network
and another source. In this case, the trans ceiver and iso-
lated (network) side of the two optocouplers are pow-
ered by the network. The rest of the node is powered by
the AC line which is very benecial when an application
requires a signicant amount of power. This method is
also desirable as it does not heavily load the network.
More importantly, the unique dual-inverting” design of
the HCPL-772X/072X ensure the network will not lock-
up if either AC line power to the node is lost or the node
powered-o. Specically, when input power (V
DD1
) to the
HCPL-772X/072X located in the transmit path is eliminat-
ed, a RECESSIVE bus state is ensured as the HCPL-772X/
072X output voltage (V
O
) go HIGH.
Isolated Node Powered by the Network
This type of node is very exible and as can be seen in
Figure 18, is regarded as “isolated” because not all of its
components have the same ground reference. Yet, all
compo nents are still powered by the network. This node
contains two regulators: one is isolated and powers the
CAN controller, node-specic application and isolated
(node) side of the two optocoup lers while the other is
non-isolated. The non-isolated regulator supplies the
transceiver and the non-isolated (network) half of the
two optocouplers.
*Bus V+ Sensing
It is suggested that the Bus V+ sense block shown in Fig-
ure 19 be implemented. A locally powered node with an
un-powered isolated Physical Layer will accumulate er-
rors and become bus-o if it attempts to transmit. The
Bus V+ sense signal would be used to change the BOI at-
tribute of the DeviceNet Object to the “auto-reset” (01)
value. Refer to Volume 1, Section 5.5.3. This would cause
the node to continually reset until bus power was detect-
ed. Once power was detected, the BOI attribute would
be returned to the hold in bus-o (00) value. The BOI
attribute should not be left in the “auto-reset” (01) value
since this defeats the jabber protection capability of the
CAN error connement. Any inexpensive low frequency
optical isolator can be used to implement this feature.
