Compatible with nearly any LED lighting assembly available today.
Two independently controlled output channels.
RS 232 configuration options.
Safesense® technology for safe overdriving.
Safepower® for easy installation.
Small compact unit with optional DIN mounting available.
The new RT range has all the features of Gardasoft pp range of constant current LED Lighting controllers with the added benefits of safe power technology. Safe power allows much greater flexibility in the DC power supply used. The advantages of safepower are that no heatsinking is required and the output voltage is not limited to the supply voltage.
The RT Series provides control of LED lighting for machine vision applications. It includes the power regulation, intensity control, timing and triggering funcitons required for machine vision systems.
Three modes of operation are provided separately for each channel: Continuous: Output is a continuous current. Pulsed: Output is pulsed once per trigger. Switched: Output switched according to a digital input. Selected: Output intensity selected by a digital input.
The RT220 and RT260 can be configured using simple string commands sent from an application program using RS232, TCP/IP or UDP. The Gardasoft
Vision website www.gardasoft.com has a free download of a demonstration program (with fully commented source) showing how the RT220 and RT260 can be controlled from a PC using C++.
