Page 3: Overview
1 Overview This onboard LED + CAM controller can supply energy and can control up to 20 LED illumination heads and up to 10 high speed video cameras. It is made for installation on bord of a vehicle and may be used in crash testing scenarios. It contains internal rechargeable batteries. In its standard version it has a standard KT (Minidau) footprint. -
Page 4: Mounting Information
The drawing below shows the main measures. From the bottom threads at least 6 should be used. We also recommend the good practise of having a stopping edge on the users mounting plate, which can take the acceleration force. Bottom view 4416 LED-Controller MF01 LED 1... -
Page 5: Connectors And Front Panel Elements
2 Connectors and Front Panel elements All connectors and user interface elements are located on the front panel. 2.1 MAIN connector The MAIN connector is used to connect this device to the user´s existing infrastructure. Connections are: Power supply to internal charger Ethernet for communication Trigger input Sync input... -

These inputs also accept TTL input signals. These must be referenced to GND. This table shows, how to connect a TTL sync signal to the MAIN connector: TTL sync out from user´s equipment MAIN Pin 9 TTL GND from user´s equipment MAIN Pin 11 It would be possible to signal T0 with a closing contact between pins 17 and pin 11 - however this is not recommended, because it is an RS-485 input and not an explicit contact input. -
Page 7: Led Head Connector
2.4 LED head connector The LED illumination heads are connected to the LED 1, LED 2 , ... output connectors. Each output connector can supply two LED heads, or one double LED head. Each output connector has one temperature supervising input channel. If (downgraded) devices are not fully equipped with LED ports, then the lower connector numbers ar functional (starting at LED1) and the higher numbers are not functional. -

Switch ON the device (press short) Switch ON or OFF the light (press 1/2 second) Force device to use a default IP Switch OFF the device Switching ON is simple, just press shortly. Switching the light is done by pressing the button a bit longer, then release. Light is switched on at the lowest level on the first press (called setup light), then switched to full level on the second press, then switched off on the third press. -

Page 11: Functional Description
3 Functional Description 3.1 Unknown IP If the devices IP is unknown, these are the possibilities: use DEFAULT IP mode, see 2.6 use SRCH cmd from Diag4400 with ethernet broadcast in a small network use SRCH cmd from Diag4400 with device address "0000", e.g. together with broadcast If still lost, device must be sent in to factory. -
Page 12: Sync And Cont Modes
3.4 SYNC and CONT modes The LED controllers may operate in SYNC mode or in CONT mode. The actual mode can be read with the command GMOD ("get mode"), which is answered with a string like "0000". These are two hex numbers 00 and 00 which reflect the settings für mode and sync edge. -

during T0 test in preparation phase of a vehicle. This can potentially be harmfull for working personell, if they are close to the LED heads. Administrive rules should be set up for working people, if using this function. 3.7 Device shutdown timer The LED controllers have an internal shutdown timer with a user settable value (see Diag4400). -

(switch on/off). To obtain the latest revision, or report bugs and wishes, please contact office(at)ies-elektronikentwicklung.de. The description is based on LED controller model IES 4416 with firmware QL16 or later and Diag4400 revision RB11 or later. - Page 15 To check, if the device responds to commands, send a remote command like IDFY (identify), using the button "send remote cmd". The answers from the controller are displayed in the textfield at the bottom. If the controllers serial number is not known, the special address "0000" can be used. Then, only one command, "SRCH", will give an answer, if a controller hears it.

Page 16: Cmd-Tab
It is an operator panel for switching on/off the light. Access to the diagnostic functions is reached by pressing the "..." button in the lower right edge of the form. 4.2 CMD-Tab The CMD tab was already mentioned. Experienced users may send commands to the controller from here and see the answers. - Page 17 Low light % sets up the intensity of the lowes light level, also called setup light. Sync fail trailling time will keep the light switched on for some time after an external sync signals stops (potentially fails). It is a good feature for crash test scenarios, but it is unwanted at test stands, where a camera controls the light on/off by its sync output.

Page 18: Battery-Tab
Make non volatile, if checked, makes the settings nonvolatile after the Store in Device button is clicked. If not checked, the Store in Device button sends the new settings to the device, and device uses them, but will forget the changes at power off. This volatility is good for experimenting, for temporary setups or when a controlling software sets up the LED controllers prior to each test. -
Page 19: Status -Tab
4.6 Status -Tab This tab provides status information about the LED controller. The status is read from the device on entering the tab (when displayed first). It is also possible to periodically update the status by checking the Poll GSTS and/or PollLGIN boxes. The periodical refresh causes communication traffic every second and fills the "answer"... - Page 20 "ready bits" for every LED head. This bit is set, if the light is illuminated. The LED controller 4416 has three lamp groups, LG001, LG010 and LG100. The diag software polls all three (if polling is checked), but displays only the one selected to keep the display...
