Having learnt today myself this module comes with a learning curve I thought it best share some basics with you between the two modules

LEDControl4 (Passive)
This module is for LED systems that already have drivers.

LEDControl4 passive converts 4 analog input voltages into 4 pulse width modulated (PWM) signals (Open-Collector), external LED drivers can be controlled by these PWM signals. In order to protect a connected ProfiLux against possible interferences the input circuits and the output circuits are galvanic insulated through optocouplers. In the case of 0% PWM, the transistors are insulating (output is highly resistive), in case of 100% PWM, the output is permanently pulled to minus potential, this behavior can be inverted.

LEDControl4 passive can produce „flashes“ during a thunderstorm simulation in ProfiLux. During a flash, the PWM-signal is temporarily set to 50%, 75% or 100%, independently from the corresponding analog input. Flashes can be output at channel 1 and channel 2, the flashing behavior can be set

LEDControl4 (Active)
The difference the Active version is that it has the LED driver built in, see here -

LEDControl4 active converts 4 analog input voltages into 4 pulse width modulated (PWM) signals (Open-Drain) and includes drivers for connecting LEDs (max. 3A in sum). In order to protect a connected ProfiLux against possible interferences the input circuits and the output circuits are galvanic insulated through optocouplers. In the case of 0% PWM, the transistors are insulating (output is highly resistive), in case of 100% PWM, the output is permanently pulled to minus potential.

LEDControl4 active can produce „flashes“ during a thunderstorm simulation in ProfiLux. During a flash, the PWM-signal is temporarily set to 50%, 75% or 100%, independently from the corresponding analog input. Flashes can be output at channel 1 and channel 2, the flashing behavior can be set

Confirmed Pricing

Active = $69.00
Passive = $59.00

Bundled GHL LED DIY kits + controller to follow along with Bundled Pacific Sun Modules + GHL controller kits
 
Let me ask what nanotank is asking. If I am going to use a meanwell ELN-60 48P (which is PWM) should I get the LEDCONTROL4 Passive or Active?
