Gardasoft TR Series LED Strobe Controllers

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.

Key features:

  • 1, 2 and 4 channel LED lighting controllers
  • Compatible with triniti Intelligent Lighting platform
  • GigE Vision compliant
  • Pulsing up to 20A
  • Continuous output to 3.0A
  • 30W maximum output per channel
  • Pulse timing to 20µs
  • Ethernet and Push-button interfaces (dependent on model)

Triniti application benefits

  • Enables non-expert users to use expert Machine Vision lighting techniques
  • Revolutionises the integration of lighting parameters right through to application level software
  • Addresses the industry’s need for a flexible system that is readily ‘plug & play’
  • Provides a stability of brightness, long-term, that helps to enhance the reliability of Vision systems, over many years
