Hebastack

The Hebastack is the compact board-stack solution for ILaS® and ISELED® systems. Without housing, without power supply, and even more compact than the Hebabox, it is specifically designed for direct integration into control cabinets and EOL test benches. It provides full gateway functionality with Ethernet (Modbus TCP) and digital I/Os – extremely space-saving, flexible, and ideal for automated quality assurance.

Technical Aspects

Experience how easy and efficient programming is with our technology. Our development platforms are specifically designed to enable intuitive and powerful control of ISELED® LEDs.

Arduino IDE

The open-source Arduino software (IDE) allows you to quickly and easily upload code to the board. This is a real advantage for our customers, as the platform is particularly intuitive, flexible, and ready to use immediately.

FastLED – Animation library

If you want it to look particularly beautiful, you can easily control your ISELED® lights with the FastLED animation library by simply replacing the FastLED commands with FastISELED.

Hebatronic Demo Program

Our demo software is an advanced example program that enables the control of ISELED® LEDs via ILaS®. This demo program requires the use of our ISELED®uino with our ILaS® shield to facilitate communication over the ILaS® bus.

PLC integration for ILaS® networks

Control ILaS® from the PLC
– fast, secure, scalable

The Hebastack makes setpoints and status information of your ILaS® nodes directly available in the PLC via Modbus TCP. This allows you to integrate EOL test benches and automation systems without extensive adjustments.

Why Hebastack?

  • Plug & Integrate: Easy integration via Ethernet/Modbus TCP – existing controls remain in place.
  • Transparent access: Clearly structured register mapping for commands, parameters, results.
  • Scalable & generic: Works with different ILaS® topologies and node configurations.
  • Production-ready: Robust for EOL testing, rework stations, and series production.
  • PLC retains the logic: Test sequences and semantics remain in your control system – the Hebastack provides the access.

How the Hebastack works

  • 1
    Select command & write parameters – via Modbus register.
  • 2
    Execute – the Hebastack (ISELED®uino + Hebatronic library) communicates with the ILaS® nodes.
  • 3
    Read result – status and data are returned in a structured way via registers.

If desired, we adapt the command set and register layout to your project-specific needs.

02/03

Integration & compatibility

  • PLC-agnostic: e.g., Siemens S7/TIA, Beckhoff, CODESYS, and others.
  • Interfaces: Ethernet (RJ45, Modbus TCP), 24 V digital inputs/outputs (trigger/reset/status), ILaS® bus output.
  • Mounting: DIN rail

Optional: We implement use-case-specific embedded extensions (e.g., performance optimization) as needed.

Hebastack

How do you connect the Hebastack to a PLC?

PLC integration

ILaS® directly at the PLC — ready to use: either via Ethernet/Modbus TCP or via 24 V I/Os. Seamlessly integrable into existing lines; trigger/reset/status optionally via register access or I/O. The ILaS® bus is controlled directly by the Hebastack. Scalable, robust – ideal for EOL testing, rework, and series production.

01/03

Digital I/Os for test systems

Thanks to integrated digital inputs and outputs, assemblies and test sequences can be controlled directly. This enables reliable control and monitoring of test functions in real time.

02/03

Scalable gateway solution

The Hebastack is based on our proven platform components – ISELED®uino and ILaS® shield as well as an Arduino® MKR Ethernet shield. It is available as a desktop device, DIN rail module, or rework box; all variants can be assembled modularly and expanded as needed – ideal for use in industrial testing and production lines.
