S-DIAS Pixel LED Module PL 221
with control for 2x RGB pixel LED strips and 2x 24 V PWM LED
strips
With the S-DIAS Pixel LED module PL 221, two pixel LED strips with a
maximum of 512 pixel RGB LEDs each and two +24 V PWM dimmable
white LED strips can be controlled.
The +5 V supply for the pixel LEDs is provided an internal switching
regulator from the externally powered +24 V supply. The +5 V supply is
protected against short circuit and overload.
The +24 V supply for the +24 V PWM dimmable white LED strips is pro-
vided by the external +24 V supply. The outputs are protected against
short circuit and overload.
The external +24 V supply is monitored for undervoltage.
