The EL2595 EtherCAT Terminal contains a constant current source for LEDs

and is designed to control one or more LEDs connected in series.

The user specifies the required set current, the integrated power supply unit

then provides the required forward voltage, depending on the connected LEDs.

For this purpose, the EL2595 has a step-up/step-down power supply unit,

which generates the output voltage from the 24 V DC input voltage.

The output voltage is also adjusted during operation in order to maintain the

set current. The current can be switched quickly for short-term lighting,

hence even extremely short flashes of light are possible. The pulse duration

is adjustable from 1 µs to infinity, the flash time itself can be set through a

timestamp via distributed clocks; an external trigger input is also available.

Extensive real-time diagnostics, e.g. for input current/voltage and output

current/voltage allow detailed monitoring of the LED light intensity.

If a specifiable load corridor is exited, e.g., due to load errors, the EL2595

switches off to protect the load (resettable).
