Product Description:

Delivered by Beckhoff, the EL2596 EtherCAT terminal works as a LED strobe control terminal. This terminal comprises one channel and a flexible power supply. The product turns itself off to protect the LEDs when a load error is encountered. This device encompasses a trigger output that can trigger cameras and offers fast and high-quality voltage and current control. The unit’s operation can be done in either continuous mode or pulse mode. It incorporates XFC timestamp technology. This terminal is a good recommendation for overdrive applications featuring short high-current pulses via the LED on its channel.

The product encounters an exit of the load corridor because of a load error. This device incorporates extensive real-time diagnostics. The unit is suitable for lighting tasks that use RGBW LEDs in voltage mode. It uses the TwinCAT 3 Vision software for its operation. This terminal is intended for use by specialists in automation and control engineering. The product’s hardware and software configuration are designed to suit the application and must not be changed. The device encompasses an ESI-EEPROM to store the slave information. This unit controls LEDs with a series connection. It allows changing the voltage or current parameters in an EtherCAT system when the operation takes place. This terminal allows the user to parameterize its trigger input. The product depicts 2-wire connection technology. This device delivers a maximum 14.4 W output power. The unit delivers the power supply for the electronics through an E-bus. It features electrical isolation.

This EtherCAT terminal portrays an IP 20 protection class, thereby facilitating the need for a control cabinet.
