The Strobelight functionality has various conffiguration options. The Strobelight can have different animation patterns:

  • single storbe

  • double strobe

  • tripple strobe

The speed ot the animation is also configurable. The brightness of the Strobelight is configurable in a two steps:

Brightness calculation

The brightness value is defined by an ISDU in the first stage. The intended use of the Brightness ISDU is setting the brightness once, in case the default value is not proper for the current application. There is a second stage for the brightness correction, which is called brightness reduction. This can be done via process data. The intended use of this brightness value is reducing the brightness temporary. With the temporary reduction the brightness can be reduced for example during the night shift.
