GENERAL

The VJP8 is a plug-in pulse rate converter that receives contact, 

voltage or current pulse from a field, and converts it into isolated 

transistor-contact pulse or contactless AC switch pulse at a preset 

pulse rate. The VJP8 can also be used as a pulse signal repeater 

by setting the pulse rate and pulse width type.

 • Either pulse output or communication function (RS-485) is 

selectable as Output-2.

 •

Various parameters can be set and modified using a PC 

(VJ77 (sold separately)) or Handy Terminal (JHT200 (sold 

separately)) and the like.
