The EL2596-0010 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 EL2596-0010 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 EL2596-0010 switches off to protect the LED (resettable).

Special features:

• Suitable for lighting-related vision applications up to 48 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

Application recommendations:

• The EL2595 LED terminal of the 1st generation is often sufficient for simple lighting tasks.
• The EL2596 and EL2596-0010 are the significantly more powerful successors and are thus suitable for applications requiring high-precision control.
• The EL2564 is the right choice for simple continuous lighting applications with RGBW LEDs in voltage mode.
