Beckhoff EL2596-0030 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel LED output

The EL2596-0030 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 EL2596-0030 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 LEDare possible. If a specifiable load corridor is exited, e.g.,

due to load errors, the EL2596-0030 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 generation can be used for current-regulated

control of LEDs.
