- Integrated voltage regulation up to 60 V per channel
- Light intensity adjustment
- Configuration via integrated web interface
- UDP communication via Ethernet (RJ45)
- Modular expansion via bus connector (shared network connection)
Extension Modules
The modular concept of the LUCON® 4C-20A-V allows flexible adaptation to the requirements of a wide range of machine vision applications. Optional extension modules provide additional functionality and allow existing systems to be expanded easily.
Trigger-Signal Converter
The trigger inputs of the LUCON® 4C-20A-V are PLC-compatible by default, in accordance with EN 61131-2 (Types 1 and 3). A high level is detected at approximately 11 V and above.
In many applications, however, trigger signals originate directly from industrial cameras. Their GPIO outputs typically provide voltage levels of only 3.3 V or 5 V, which are below the standard detection threshold of the controller.
The Trigger-Signal Converter solves this problem. The extension module provides four independent inputs and replaces all four existing trigger inputs of the LUCON® 4C-20A-V.
Installation is particularly simple: the module plugs directly into the controller in place of the existing screw terminal block. Once 24 V and GND are connected, trigger signals ranging from 3.3 V to 24 V can be processed reliably.
Key Benefits
- Four independent trigger inputs
- Supports trigger signals from 3.3 V to 24 V
- Ideal for GPIO outputs of industrial cameras
- Simple plug-in installation
- No additional external signal converter required

DIN-Rail Bus-Connector
Four channels are not always sufficient for demanding machine vision applications. This is why the LUCON® 4C-20A-V was designed as a modular and expandable controller from the outset.
With the DIN-Rail Bus-Connector, up to 24 LUCON® 4C-20A-V controllers can be connected together. This provides a total of up to 96 independent lighting channels within a single system.
A major advantage is the shared network connection. Regardless of the number of connected controllers, all channels can be configured and controlled via a single Ethernet connection.
The bus connector simply snaps onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. The LUCON® 4C-20A-V controller is then mounted directly onto the connector.
Important: One bus connector is required for each controller. For example, an eight-channel system requires two LUCON® 4C-20A-V controllers and two DIN-Rail Bus-Connectors.
Key Benefits
- Connect up to 24 controllers
- Up to 96 independent channels
- Shared Ethernet network interface
- Reduced wiring requirements
- Easy installation on DIN rail
- Modular and scalable system architecture
