is there any opto coupler which can handle the variable input
from 5v to 30 v dc

Dear friend ,
i think u can not find any opto which has LED input higher than 2volts, always a series resitor is required to drop out the extra voltage and limit the current.
in ur case when u have 5 to 35 volt input using a simple resistor in series is not a right solution , i have attatched a file which shows a simple solution to this problem.its simply a voltage regulator which limits the max. out put voltage to around 5volts then any opto can be drived using apropriate series resitor.
if u find it ok use this circuit , or we can think of something better.

best of luck .

bye

i got the same idea
but the problem is that i have to add
so many regulators for inputs , i have 24 inputs

Why don´t you use a constant current source for driving the LEDs?

Simple with 1 J-NFET and 1 resistor in series...
 

what will be the effective cost effectiveness in using
a BJT and JFET
