Advanced Illumination - DCS-400E Quad Controller
-
Whether you're looking to create shapes from shading using computational imaging or building a multi-point inspection line, Advanced Illumination's Quad Controllers are engineered to solve a wide variety of applications.
-
The DCS-400E provides a total of 4 channels, each capable of firing independently. Built-in pre-programmed sequencing, allows users to progress through pre-determined recipes. This provides users the ability to automatically time a lighting sequence and output a correlated camera trigger, and to do so through multiple pre-programmed routines. As an example, by using the DCS’ frame-start signal, it is possible to synchronize a camera exposure to capture each channel as they flash in sequence.
-
Driven with Ai's proprietary SignaTech™, the DCS-800E and DCS-400E delivers peak performance while maintaining safe currents for ensured long-term stability.
-
Both Quad Controllers are housed in a compact enclosure with DIN rail mounting, delivering seamless integration into your existing machine vision system.

Whether you're looking to create shapes from shading using computational imaging or building a multi-point inspection line, Advanced Illumination's Quad Controllers are engineered to solve a wide variety of applications.
-
The DCS-800E provides a total of 8 channels using 2 outputs, each channel capable of firing independently. Built-in pre-programmed sequencing, allows users to progress through pre-determined recipes. This provides users the ability to automatically time a lighting sequence and output a correlated camera trigger, and to do so through multiple pre-programmed routines. As an example, by using the DCS’ frame-start signal, it is possible to synchronize a camera exposure to capture each channel as they flash in sequence.

-
GUI, WebServer & Command Line Tools
-
Software SDKs including: LabView, C++, C# and more
-

-
Overdrive currents in strobe mode limited to 5-10x
-
The Inline Current Source (iCS 3) provides steady and optimal current to lights from a small package when a larger, more flexible external controller is not necessary.
-
Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The iCS 3 and iCS 3S employ Ai's exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width.
-
The iCS 3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the iCS 3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.
-
All iCS models employ reverse input polarity protection
-
The Inline Current Source (iCS 2) provides steady and optimal current to lights from a small package when a larger, more flexible external controller is not necessary.
-
The ICS2 provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.
-
All iCS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
-
A wash down version is provided with any light to which it is attached is also wash down.
-
0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.
-
The compact Pulsar 320 provides the ultimate in lighting control flexibility for strobe-only, high power requirement applications.
-
2 outputs for controlling 2 lights independently, each capable of 50A @ 100 volts output.
-
Controlled locally w/PC and USB2, or remotely with built-in Ethernet interface.
-
For pulse widths down to 1 µsec (1µsec resolution).
-
Capable of overdriving currents 10-30x in strobe mode.
-
For applications requiring power cables longer than the standard 2 meters provided with Ai lights.
-
Standard cable lengths are 3, 5, 9 and 15 meters.
-
To simplify the mounting process, Ai offers a line of camera brackets for positioning lights under or around the camera lens.
-
Most brackets are designed to be held in place by the same screw that secures the camera.
