Can I use the Triplc's (T100MD888+, specifically) PWM outputs as dimmers for halogen lighting? Has anyone tried this?
A 24VDC, 50 Watt bulb will draw just over 2A at full on so it falls within the PWM output's capabilities.
What about the concept of using PWM for halogen dimming? Is this even a valid technique? If so, what's the lowest frequency I can run the PWM at without the bulbs flickering or pulsing? And can I drive the bulbs with the same power supply I use for the Triplc or is that a bad idea?
I know I can probably answer most of these questions experimentally (and I probably will) but I just wanted to be a little confident that I'm not going to fry a plc before I try it.
