1) LED current less than 100mA may cause LED light jitter
2) The flash energy is provided by a capacitor and requires sufficient time for
recharging. The flash energy (flash frequency * flash duration * current) is limited
to 1A. E.g.: 100 flashes/s * 100µs * 30A = 0.3A
3) The higher the current and the shorter the cycle time, the greater the latency
can be

Application Samples for CTR-52 Controller
Modbus Control
Hardware
The standard fieldbus provided with the CTR LED controller product line is
based on Modbus TCP. Modbus is a data communications protocol for use
with programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Modbus Setup Information
The CTR controller is a Modbus device that allows you to access the light
settings via Ethernet. The controller communicates using a master-slave tech-
nique in which only one device (the master) can initiate transactions (called
queries). The other devices (slaves) respond by supplying the requested data
to the master, or by taking the action requested in the query.
The CTR light controller is implemented as a Modbus slave. The CTR receives
messages from the master, processes them and responds to them. The pro-
duct does not send messages by itself.
Modbus Setup Information
Modbus Type:
Slave (Server)
Modbus Format:
Modbus TCP
Output Data Mode:
Auto
Notes
‒ The default device IP address is 192.168.0.99. The address can be changed
via the command line tool provided with the MBJ software package
‒
The RESET Button on the back of the device can be used to return to the
factory default settings
‒
Please refer to the fieldbus communication protocol definition for details
Software
The CTR-52 can be programmed via different alternative methods:
‒
Direct Modbus access for which a detailed protocol definition is provided
‒ SDK library to integrate the communication into your software
‒ The easy to use MBJ software user interface based on MS Windows 10®
