The EL2596-0030 LED strobe control terminal contains a flexible power supply

unit that supplies the LED with the required current and voltage.

Applications from continuous light to short light pulses in the kHz range are thus

possible. Each individual flash can be triggered in a controlled manner by the

control system via the distributed clocks/timestamp function.

The EL2596-0030 has a trigger output for triggering cameras and high-quality,

fast current and voltage control, so that line scan cameras, for example,

also benefit from constant illumination. Extensive real-time diagnostics, e.g.

for input current/voltage and output current/voltage allow detailed monitoring

of the LED light intensity. Thus, overdrive applications with short high-current

pulses through the LEDare possible. If a specifiable load corridor is exited, e.g.,

due to load errors, the EL2596-0030 switches off to protect the LED (resettable).

Special features:

• suitable for lighting-related vision applications up to 24 V DC

• max. output current 0…3 A in pulse mode / 0…1.2 A in continuous mode

• different operating modes possible

• continuous mode (current and voltage output, PWM)

• pulse operation

• RGB/common anode mode

• support of XFC technology timestamp

• synchronized operation through distributed clocks XFC technology possible

Recommended use:

• The EL2564 is the right choice for lighting tasks with RGBW LEDs in voltage mode.

control of LEDs.

the EL2595 and are therefore suitable for applications requiring high-precision

current- and voltage-controlled control of LEDs.

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).

The EL2564-0010 digital output terminal controls LEDs with integrated series

resistor via an adjustable (ground switching) PWM signal.

Common anode RGBW LEDs can be controlled with the four channels.

The operation with four LEDs of the same color is also possible with the

terminal. The terminal has a flexible input voltage of 8…48 V DC. 

The output voltage corresponds to the input voltage. For the operation of

multicolor LEDs the color portion per channel is adjustable. 

Thus any color mix can be realized. In addition to the color mixing per channel,

the adjustment of the total brightness over all channels is also possible.

Another parameter that can be adjusted is the frequency. By setting the

frequency in a range of 1…16.000 Hz, stroboscopic effects can be avoided.

Furthermore, visible flashes can be realized by the low frequencies.
