Connection to the trigger output

The EL2596-xxxx has a trigger output for triggering a camera. This trigger output can be switched on in every pulse mode (Current control PLC pulse, Current control timestamp pulse and Current control trigger pulse).

The supply U_{TrigOutSupply} for the trigger function between 10 V and 24 V is to be connected from outside to TrigOut+ and TrigOut-. The trigger input of the camera with its required voltage U₁ is connected

to TrigOut if U₁ = U_{TrigOutSupply} and can thus be switched directly through, or
to TrigExtDiv (see diagram of external voltage dividers) if U₁ < U_{TrigOutSupply} (e.g. for 5 V) and therefore has to be divided down

Connection to the trigger output 1: — Voltage divider for the trigger output

When dimensioning the resistors of the voltage divider R₁ and R_2, make sure that R₁ + R₂ > 2 kΩ. With lower resistances, the power loss at the resistors would be high and would lead to strong heating.
