The RT range is Gardasoft’s latest generation of LED lighting controller solutions for machine vision applications. Implementing our patented SafePower™ technology, installation is very easy, removing the need of having to use a bespoke DC power supply or heat sinking the controller. All RT models also include our SafeSense™ technology, which enables the safe overdriving of LEDs. To get the very best out of your LED lighting solution, in terms of brightness stability and control, lighting should be driven from a current source, not a nominal voltage supply. The Gardasoft pulse / strobe controllers are current sources, with the RT200 controller range offering two output channels which are independently controlled.

The PP800 models can be quickly configured using our free software which can be downloaded from this page, or for the PP820 Ethernet enabled controller range simply by accessing the controller via your internet browser; type in the IP address for the controller into your browser and you have full access to all of the parameters. If you are using a third party software package the PP800 range has a simple command set that is detailed in the manual allowing easy communication. As with all Gardasoft products, all the settings are stored in non-volatile memory, and it will retain these settings even when the Ethernet or RS232 connection is disconnected. Gardasoft Controllers are universally compatible with LED Vision lighting, from manufacturers such as CCS.
The Gardasoft TR-CL180 is a single-channel industrial Lens Controller which provides very accurate and repeatable control of tunable lenses. The TR-CL180 has been developed in close collaboration with Optotune. The TR-CL180 includes a precise, constant current drive for the liquid lens and is able to read data stored within the liquid lens. It is compatible with Optotune EL-10-30-Ci, EL-16-40-TC and EL-3-10 tunable lenses.
Gardasoft TR Series LED Controllers are a core component of a triniti Intelligent Lighting system. triniti is a new enabling technology from Gardasoft, which provides expert control, operational intelligence and full integration of Machine Vision lighting – all within a ‘plug & play’ environment.
The RTCC4 combines the features of the Gardasoft RT Series LED Lighting Controllers with the addition of two digital outputs for Triggering or general use. This combination provides a high level of integration in Machine Vision systems – reducing complexity, space and cost.
