Gardasoft Ligting Controllers


Gardasoft lighting controllers are designed to give complete programmable control over most types of LED lighting, allowing a vast range of dynamic lighting conditions to be set-up and stored. They have a large number of potential applications and because they can be controlled in real time, one single lighting installation can be programmed to light a range of different scenarios at once, potentially saving the cost of having to use several seperate lighting rigs.

PP600 Series Lighting Controllers
Model
Description
PP-600
The Standard model without serial control
PP-610
As Standard model, plus serial control via RS232
PP-602
As Standard model, plus JST (CCS) connectors (no serial control)
PP-612
As above plus serial control via RS232
PP600 Series F Fast Swotching Version.

The new F version limits some of the maximum timing ranges in return for a far faster switching time. The F version is aimed at applications with very fast moving parts or where lighting switch times can effect the inspection results.
The PP600 series IO controllers provide repeatable intensity control of LED lighting for machine vision applications. It includes the power supply, intensity control, timing and triggering functions required for machine vision systems. For illumination systems that use the new generation of high intensity LEDs, consider using one of the PP800 series lighting controllers listed below.

PP100 Series Lighting Controllers
Model
Description
PP-100
series

Eight constant current outputs
8 opto-isolated (5 - 24V) digital inputs
4 changeover relay contact outputs
Total output 1A constant or 3A pulsed at 12 to 18V
Output per channel up to 500mA constant or 1A pulsed in 0.25mA steps
Supply 24 volt DC unregulated
Supply current max 200mA plus LED requirements
DIN rail mounting
150mm long by 104mm wide by 45mm high
The PP100 includes all the power supply, intensity control, timing and triggering functions required for machine vision systems. It can be configured to provide constant or pulsed output, with control over the delay, intensity and duration. Configuration is very generalised to allow a vast range of real time operations to be set up to run off digital input triggers.

PP810 Series Lighting Controllers
Model
Description
PP-810
4 independatnt constant current output channels
From 0.1A - 30A in steps of 0.1A
Up to 4A per ch cont, or up to 10A pulsed
4 Digital inputs, opto-isolated otion, TTL or RS422
15A per µsec per channel
From 1 microsecond - 10 milliseconds in steps of 100 nanoseconds
Output voltage 0 - 40V
 

The 800 series is intended for use with the next generation of high intensity, 'LumiLED' based illuminators, that are available from a range of manufactureres such as the NER LALL series of lights.
The PP800 is verysimilar to the PP600 series, but is designed to handle the new generation of high intensity LEDs, LumiLeds. It includes the same, intensity control, timing and triggering functions as the 600 series, and can be configured to provide constant or pulsed output, with control over the delay, intensity and duration. Configuration is very generalised to allow a very large range of real time operations to be set up to run off digital input triggers.

PP-900
series
Mains or DC power supply
Safe-Sense™ Technology (Patent Pending)
Continuous Fault Detection (Patent Pending)
“Display-and-Buttons” Interface
The PP900 provides automatic, fool-proof operation with CCS lights, providing plug and play operation. (The trademark “CCS” belongs to CCS Inc, Japan). On connection, the PP900 will automatically sense the voltage and current rating of the light. This works for all 12V, 24V and HLV lights.
The PP900 is a single output constant current supply providing very stable continuous or pulsed output for LED lighting used in machine vision. It includes Gardasoft Vision’s very popular “Display-and-Buttons” interface which allows the unit to be configured in seconds.

The PP721 PC Drive Bay Mounting Kit allows the PP600 range to be mounted in a standard 5.25" drive bay. This is particularly useful where space is at a premium, or where there is no separate electrical cabinet to hand. The PP600 is mounted in a sliding tray for easy maintenance and access to the unit controls. The package includes the 5.25" mounting frame, sliding tray and all fixing screws.
