Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH, one of the world's leading distributors of electronic components, presents the new RAB5 adapter board from Rutronik System Solutions. The development board has been specifically designed for LED applications in the automotive industry and Industry 4.0. With the RAB5 adapter board, the experts from Rutronik's research and development department are relying on the high-performance LEDs of the OSIRE® series from ams Osram.
The LED market covers a wide range of applications, from vehicle interior lighting to various industrial applications. In the automotive sector, LEDs are instrumental in improving the aesthetics and functionality of the interior. Industrial applications are equally diverse, including the so-called smart factory, automated production lines and intelligent lighting systems that adapt in real time. High-performance LEDs play a key role in creating efficient, adaptable and sustainable manufacturing environments.
Advanced LED applications: with OSIRE LEDs from ams Osram
The RAB5 adapter board from Rutronik System Solutions is based on ams Osram OSIRE® series LEDs as a core component. These LEDs are designed for dynamic ambient lighting and offer individually addressable chips for maximum flexibility in colour and driver selection. The user-friendly ams Osram graphical user interface also enables simple programming of each LED. The intelligent LEDs can be programmed individually, offering unparalleled customization and control options. Thanks to integrated algorithms and a built-in temperature sensor, the high quality of the LEDs is maintained without influence from temperature. Impressively, up to 1000 LEDs can be connected to a single bus, ensuring scalability for various applications.
A development environment for countless industrial and automotive applications
Thanks to the Arduino interface, the adapter board can also be easily combined with other base boards and adapter boards from Rutronik System Solutions. The modular concept enables a variety of approaches to quickly, cost-effectively and easily realise development projects that are still technically sophisticated.
For example, the combination of the RAB5 adapter board with the RDK4 base board is particularly promising for motor control applications. The Infineon PSoCTM 4100S Max automotive microcontroller, integrated on the RDK4 base board from Rutronik System Solutions, with a cost-effective Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core, enables seamless integration and advanced control capabilities. The combination of the boards leverages the strengths of both and provides a comprehensive platform for the development and testing of automotive applications.
