SLA-Series Manual & Analog-input LED Controllers

Product information "SLA-Series Manual & Analog-input LED Controllers"

2 Channels; 9-24 VDC; 100-1,200 mA Per Channel; Interface 0-5 V Analog; Max. Modulation Frequency 1, 50 kHz

Mightex’s SLA-Series of two-channel universal manual and analog-input LED controllers are designed to drive a broad range of LED light sources.

SLA-Series LED controllers have two control modes:

  • Manual Knob Control Mode: the current output of each channel can be adjusted manually
  • Analog Input Control Mode: the current output of each channel can be controlled via 0 to 5 V analog input

The control mode is set via a DIP switch, and the factory default setting is “Manual Knob Control Mode”. The controllers also have a DIP switch for maximum current setting, which allows user to set the maximum current to different levels, in order to prevent LED damage due to overdriving. The factory default setting is 30 mA for SLA-0100-2, and 350 mA for both SLA-1000-2 and SLA-1200-2. When the maximum current setting DIP switch is set at a smaller value (e.g. 350 mA), the LED controller has a finer resolution for the output current.

When the SLA-Series controller is set to “Analog Input Control Mode”, the output current is proportional to the voltage of the analog input signal. The operational mode and the current limit of each channel can be set independently from each other.

Mightex’s SLA-Series of universal manual and analog-input LED controllers currently include three models in total:

Modulation Frequency 3-100 kHz; Current Accuracy ±3% Mightex’s BLS-Series LED controllers are designed for driving Mightex LED light sources, including Type-H super high power LED light sources (BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 models). All BLS-Series LED controllers have two operation modes:  Manual Mode: the user can control the output current by manually turning a knob Trigger Mode: the output current can be controlled via an external analog input signal between 0 V and 5 V The control mode is selected with a slide switch on the front panel, and the factory default is “manual” mode. High-speed, two-channel models BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 feature a high modulation speed of up to 100 kHz for BLS-1000-2 and up to 50 kHz for BLS-300-2. High-current, single-channel models BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 feature maximum output driving currents of 13,000 mA (BLS-13000) and 18,000 mA (BLS-18000) with a modulation speed of 3 kHz. BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 provide DIP switches for maximum current selection on the rear panel, which allow the user to set the maximum output current of the channel to 500/750/1,000 mA for BLS-1000-2, and 1,000/2,000/3,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively. The factory default is set to 500 mA for BLS-1000-2 and 1,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively. When the LED controller is set to “trigger” mode, the output current is fully controlled by the input analog signal (0-5 V).

SLC-Series USB/RS232 & External Trigger LED Controllers
2, 4 Channels; 9-24 VDC; 100-3,500 mA Per Channel; Interface USB, RS232; External Trigger; Current Resolution 0.1-1 mA Mightex’s SLC-Series of USB/RS232 and external trigger LED controllers allow users dual software control of individual LED channels plus external TTL trigger control. User-friendly application software and SDK are provided, and models come with USB and RS232 interfaces with a flip switch on the back of the units to select either USB2.0 or RS232 interface. Each multi-channel, computer-controllable unit comes with PC-based software with a user-friendly GUI, which enables users to drive LEDs without the need to write any code. In addition, a powerful SDK and a rich RS232 command set are provided, in order for users to write their own software and to integrate Mightex’s LED controllers into their own systems. A Linux driver is also available upon request. Furthermore, the drivers have a built-in security feature, allowing users to limit LED driving current and voltage. Models with forward voltage monitoring capability have an accuracy of ±10 mV. Mightex’s SLC-Series of USB/RS232 and external trigger LED controllers can be used to drive any type of LED in any of the three modes ‘Normal’ (or ‘Constant Current’), ‘Strobe’, and/or external ‘Trigger’. Each output channel can be individually configured to work in one of the three modes, and in all three modes, overdrive current limit can be set:Normal: Constant current output at any value from 0 mA to the maximum output driving current with 12-bit resolutionTrigger: External trigger signal could be used to turn on each individual channel, generating driving current with any user-defined waveform. Alternatively, each output channel can work under the “Follower” mode, in which the current output follows the waveform of the trigger inputStrobe: Internal strobe generator generates frequencies as high as 25 KHz. The strobe signal (i.e. current levels, duty cycle and strobe frequency) can be set through software. For SLC-AA and SLC-AV series, the strobe signal can be a user-defined arbitrary waveform with 128 pairs of data points [current (mA), duration (µs)] to define the shape of the waveform and consequently the LED’s optical output. High-precision (FA, FV, XA and XV) types have 0.1mA current resolution, and a maximum current of 100mA in DC mode and 350mA in pulse mode, while 2-channel high-current (HA and HV) types can drive up to 2,000 mA (CW) or 3,500 mA (PWM) output current.
