I have just done exactly that.
I used 16 independent channels (4 for royal blue, 4 for neutral white and 8 for colour enhancement) on an 8x8.2x2 with about 160 leds.

Depending on how many channels of control you want, you may need to add some more L ports (1-10v ports). In my case I had to add some more L ports, so PLM-4L (2 sockets, with 4 1-10v channels).

eg.
Inbuilt L port -> GHL EVG-AP-2F EVG -> 2 x MEANWELL ELN-60-48D ( Dimmable) -> lots of LED's
or
PLM-4L -> GHL EVG-AP-2F EVG -> 2 x MEANWELL ELN-60-48D ( Dimmable) -> lots of LED's

Ok that sounds good i have a profilux plus 2 ex it has the two L1 2 and the L 3 4 ports and it also has 4 ports that says L
On them se picture
4699
How many ports will my lamp have to have?
I think I can run them with 6 drivers of the MEANWELL ELN-60-48D is that possible and how many of the GHL EVG-AP-2F EVG will I be needing?

The picture is of the 2 x PLM-4L, each of these have 4 x 1-10v interfaces, 2 per connector.
With just these two cards, you can have up to 8 channels on your lighting.

The EVG-AP-2F can control two ELN-60-48D drivers. So if you want to run 6 drivers you will need three ELN-60-48D.
Each EVG-AP-2F will connect to one of the L a sockets (2xL ports) with the cable that comes included with the EVG-AP-2F.

One thing it may be worth checking is that the Profilux plus II Ex should have 6xL ports (L1/2, L3/4 and L5/6) as standard (two sockets on the bottom row, one socket on the top row next to the conductivity and redox ports). Then you have eight more installed with the two cards (L7/8, L9/10, L11/12 and L13/14).

My understanding was that the PII range could only have 8 L ports but I may be wrong or this may have changed with new firmware.

Doh I did not see the L5 6 yes I have that too
I bought it used and I'm all new to this
So the only thing I need to buy is the 3 GHL EVG-AP-2F EVG and I'm good to go?

Yup, then solder, connect and configure.

If you have any issues pm me as I have only just finished doing this, so it's all fresh in the mind.
