DCM Sistemes PLC0307A Compact Linear Bar Light

Electrically this is a 'Type C' continuous light: it runs straight off 24 VDC (±8%) at up to 5 W with no controller or strobe driver required, drawing power through a 3-pin male chassis (aerial) connector wired PIN1 +24 V, PIN2 0 V, PIN3 control. That simplicity is the design trade. You get a fixture you can power from the same 24 V rail as the rest of the cell and switch on continuously, with no iBlueDrive or external controller to specify, wire or program. In exchange you forgo overdriven strobing, so for fast-moving lines you control motion blur with the camera's exposure and trigger rather than with a pulsed flash. For steady or slow-indexing inspection, continuous DC drive keeps integration trivial and avoids any controller as a failure point or cost line.

The light is monochromatic and offered in a wide spread of wavelengths from a single mechanical platform: 365 nm UV, 400 nm, 470 nm blue, 525 nm green, 630 nm red (the default), 850 nm IR, plus a W00 white option. Choosing the wavelength is the main optical decision, because each colour reveals different things — red/IR for penetration and contrast on many plastics and for suppressing ambient, blue/green for fine surface detail and crisper edges, UV for fluorescence and certain coating or adhesive checks. Pairing a monochromatic source with a matching bandpass filter on the lens lets you reject ambient room light and stabilise contrast, which is the typical reason to pick a single-colour bar over white. Environmentally the unit is rated IP40, so it is protected against solid objects but not against water or washdown, and it operates from 0 to 40 C (storage 0 to 60 C); plan it into a dry, enclosed cell rather than a wet or outdoor station.
