4 channel Ethernet Lighting Controller

LFC 420 from Gardasoft

Gardasoft, the leader in lighting controllers, introduces the LFC 420 4-channel Ethernet controller. The new LFC 420 joins Gardasofts' successful series of Ethernet controllers - LFC 520 and LFC 820. The new 4-channel LFC 420 lighting controller allows your vision system to control the light remotely. Brightness for example can be adjusted programmatically to accommodate different inspection requirements in an online application. With 4 channels the LFC 420 can control RGB lights, adjust their brightness, the colour mix and still leave another channel to control one additional light.

In addition to its four independent channels, the main features of this new product include the ability to control the current and light output, to run in continuous or strobed output, control strobe period and strobe delay. It supports up to 10A per channel in pulse mode and programming is via its integrated Ethernet interface. The LFC 420 can therefore be deployed as a Web server and can be controlled via imaging software from a remote computer. It can also be accessed using an IP address and from any Web browser.

As with all Gardasoft products, the LFC 420 has the SafeSens technology integrated into it. This restricts the maximum current, based on pulse length - automatically protecting any light connected to it against excessive temperatures and damage.
