1-channel LED strobe control terminals

The EL2596-xxxx EtherCAT terminals contain an adjustable power supply source for LEDs and are designed for controlling one or more LEDs connected in series in continuous light or pulse mode. The user specifies the desired set current. The integrated power supply unit then provides the necessary forward voltage depending on the connected LEDs. For this purpose, the EL2596-xxxx terminals have a step-down power supply unit that provides the desired output voltage. LEDs with a forward voltage up to just below the EL2596 input voltage can be operated. The high-quality and fast current and voltage control also enables constant illumination of line scan cameras.

The current can be switched quickly for short-term lighting, so that even the shortest flashes of light are possible. As with the EL2252, the flash time itself can be set by timestamp via distributed clock. The operation of the LED with a short-term overdriven current, so-called “overdriving”, is also possible as long as the output voltage remains below the supply voltage.

The EL2596-xxxx features extensive trigger options. Trigger input and output can be used at the same time:

The integration of the LED controller EL2596-xxxx into the EtherCAT system allows

For operation of the 48 V variant EL2596-0010, a ZB8610 fan cartridge is mandatory to ensure that the terminal does not exceed the maximum allowed internal temperature.
