EL2596 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel LED output, 0…24 V DC, 3 A

The EL2596 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 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 LED are possible. If a specifiable load corridor is exited, e.g., due to load errors, the EL2596 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
• the EL2595 LED terminal of the 1st generationcan be used for current-regulated control of LEDs
• the EL2596 and EL2596-0010 are the significantly more powerful successors of the EL2595 and are therefore suitable for applications requiring high-precision current- and voltage-controlled control of LEDs
