Introduction 1:

EtherCAT Terminal, 4-channel digital output, PWM, 8...48 VDC, 3 A, common cathode RGBW LEDs

The EL2564-0010 digital output terminal enables the control of LEDs via an adjustable PWM signal. Common cathode RGBW LEDs can be controlled with four channels. In addition, operation with four LEDs of the same color is possible with the terminal. The terminal has a flexible input voltage of 8...48 VDC. The output voltage corresponds to the input voltage.

For the operation of multicolor LEDs, the color component per channel can be set, via which the duty cycle is adjusted. This allows any color mixes to be realized. In addition to color mixing per channel, it is also possible to adjust the total brightness across all channels.

Another parameter that can be set is the frequency. This avoids stroboscopic effects in a range of 1...16000 Hz. At low frequencies, visible flashes are feasible.
