RTCC4 Combined LED Control and Trigger Timing

Key features:

  • Combines Lighting Control with Trigger Timing
  • Two extra digital outputs to standard Gardasoft RT Controllers
  • Includes all RTCC4 timing and sequencing functionality
  • Encoder input
  • SafePower™ and SafeSense™ technologies for Lighting Control

For a full specification please refer to the RTCC4 datasheet

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.

Some applications have fixed speed mechanisms and the time from the trigger to the reject gate is well known; for others, an encoder may be used to determine belt movement. Two types of encoder input are supported - one wire systems which have distance only, and two wire systems having distance and belt direction only.

Taking the functionality of the Gardasoft RTCC4 Timing Controller and integrating this into the RT Series controllers enables precise lighting control combined with the ability to trigger external components such as cameras and reject gates. In addition, inputs can be accepted from encoders or proximity switches that can then be used to trigger the lights or one of the additional digital inputs. The Gardasoft White Paper on LED Controller technology is a useful reference for the principles of attaining maximum performance for Machine Vision illumination.
