PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
1 Getting started
This user manual describes the setting up and operation of thePP600F
and PP602F lighting controllers.
The P600F and PP602F lighting controllers differ from the standard
controllers in the following respects:
They are faster with more repeatable pulse widths,
Pulsing on output channel 1 can only be triggered from input 1,
Pulsing on output channel 2 can only be triggered from input 2,
Pulse widths and delays are a maximum of 9.9ms,
When setting up pulsing using the buttons, the output current is set before
the pulse delay.
The specific controller variant is referred to in this manual when necessary,
otherwise the controllers are referred to as PP600F.
Read Section 2, Safety (or Section 3, Sicherheit, or Section 4, Sécurité)
and Section 10, Reference information, and check the PP600F fulfils your
requirements.
Connect the PP600F up to a supply and an LED lighting unit as described
in Section 8, Connections. Note that the supply voltage must be
connected to three terminals. When the PP600F powers up, it should
show two alternating lines on the display to indicate that it is operating
properly.
Read Section 9, Operation and use the Simple Set Up to make the
PP600F supply a small continuous current to the LED unit. Check that the
LED unit illuminates.
Mount the PP600F as described in Section 6, Mechanical fixing, using a
DIN rail or the mounting holes. In particular, read the notes on heatsinking
in Section 7, PP600F heat output.
For additional information on the use of the PP600F. Visit

2 Safety
Read this before using the PP600F. Always observe the following safety
precautions. If in doubt, contact your distributor or Gardasoft Vision. The
following symbols mean:
Warning: Read instructions to understand possible hazard
Warning: Surface may get hot.
Warning: Possible hazardous voltage.
Where these symbols appear in the manual, refer to the text for
precautions to be taken.
2.1 Heat
Ensure the PP600F is mounted correctly (see Section 6, Mechanical
fixing), and that you do not exceed any of the ratings for the unit (see
Section 10, Reference information).
At its maximum ratings, the PP600F's enclosure can exceed 75°C which
is sufficient to cause a burn if touched. Place in a position where personnel
cannot accidentally touch it and ensure there is a free flow of air around
the unit.
2.2 Electrical
The PP600F produces high energy pulses. Take care to connect the
outputs correctly and protect the output wiring and load from any short
circuits. When switched off, energy remains stored in the PP600F for
about 15 seconds.
The PP600F does not have complete tracking isolation of inputs and
outputs, therefore, please observe the following guidance:
Computer equipment that is connected to the communication or trigger
ports must be internally powered or separated from mains electricity by
double insulation/reinforced isolation or be approved to IEC 60950-1
standard. All other equipment connected to the triggers or other ports
must also have double insulation/reinforced isolation protection from the
mains supply.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) used to energise the PP600F must provide
double insulation/reinforced isolation from mains electricity and protected
against short circuits and overloads. We recommend using a PSU that lim-
its its output current to the appropriate rating of the controller by design,
by setting the current limit on the supply (if possible), or through over cur-
rent protection. The PSU should be approved to either IEC 60950-1, IEC
—6—

PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
60335-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC61558-1,-2,-16. The PSU may also be
approved to equivalent or superior safety standards.
Any energised conductors derived from mains electricity must also have
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output. Refer to Section 10, Reference
information for allowable voltage limits.
At maximum ratings the temperature of the enclosure can exceed 75°C.
Therefore, either all cabling must be rated to at least 100°C, or all cabling
must be additionally insulated by an appropriately rated heat resistant
sleeve or prevented from touching the metal enclosure of the controller, or
its heatsink where fitted.
Power supply cabling to the controller must be rated to at least 4A.
The cabling from the channel output to the load must be rated higher than
the maximum channel output current.
If the controller is setup incorrectly, or in the event of failure, the energy
provided by the power supply to the controller may become directly con-
nected to any or all output channels. You must consider this during install-
ation, and if necessary, provide adequate protection.
The DC power supply to controller must be externally fused to 4A using a
slow blow fuse (T4AH, 50V).
The installer must provide a clearly marked, nearby and easily accessible
switch as part of the installation to allow the controller to be disconnected
from its energy source on both power conductors.
Transients caused by inductive loads must be suppressed externally to
the PP600F.
Warning: This is a Class A product. Its use in residential areas may cause
radio interference, and such use should be avoided unless special
measures are taken by the user to restrict emissions to a level that allows
the reception of broadcast transmissions.
2.3 General
The PP600F must not be used in an application where its failure could
cause a danger to personal health or damage to other equipment.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
2.4 Installation guidance (disclaimer)
This information is for guidance only. Installers must perform their own risk
assessment specific to each installation. While Gardasoft Vision Ltd has
taken every care in the preparation of this advice, Gardasoft Vision Ltd
accepts no liability for damages of any kind except those required by law.
Deliberate acts of endangerment and vandalism are not covered by this
document and must be considered by the installer.

bleibt Energie für etwa 15 Sekunden im PP600F gespeichert.
Das PP600F verfügt über keine vollständige Nachlaufisolierung der
Eingänge (einschließlich Trigger- und Kommunikationsports) und
Ausgänge. Beachten Sie daher unbedingt die folgenden Hinweise:
Computergeräte, die an die Kommunikations- oder Trigger-Ports ange-
schlossen sind, müssen über eine interne Stromversorgung verfügen oder
vom Stromnetz durch eine doppelte Isolierung/verstärkte Isolierung
getrennt sein oder nach dem Standard IEC 60950-1 zugelassen sein. Alle
anderen Geräte, die an die Trigger- oder andere Ports angeschlossen
sind, müssen ebenfalls durch eine doppelte Isolierung/verstärkte Iso-
lierung vom Stromnetz getrennt sein.
Das Netzgerät, das zur Stromversorgung des PP600F dient, muss durch
eine doppelte Isolierung/verstärkte Isolierung von der Stromversorgung
—8—

PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
getrennt sein und gegen Kurzschlüsse und Überlastungen geschützt sein.
Wir empfehlen die Verwendung eines Netzgeräts, das den
Ausgangsstrom durch konstruktive Maßnahmen, durch Einstellen der
Stromgrenze an der Versorgung (wenn möglich) oder durch einen
Überstromschutz auf den geeigneten Nennstrom der Steuerung
begrenzt. Das Netzgerät muss nach IEC 60950-1, IEC 60335-1, IEC
61010-1 oder IEC61558-1,-2,-16 zugelassen sein. Das Netzgerät kann
auch nach gleichwertigen oder höheren Standards zugelassen sein.
Alle stromführenden Leiter, die vom Stromnetz abgeleitet sind, müssen
ebenfalls Sicherheitskleinspannung (SELV) am Ausgang erzeugen.
Hinweise zu den zulässigen Spannungsgrenzwerten finden Sie im Section
10, Reference information.
Bei den maximalen Grenzwerten kann die Temperatur des Gehäuses
75°C überschreiten. Daher muss entweder die gesamte Verkabelung für
mindestens 100°C bemessen sein oder die gesamte Verkabelung muss
zusätzlich mit einer angemessen dimensionierten wärmebeständigen
Tülle isoliert sein oder gegen Kontakt mit dem Metallgehäuse der Steue-
rung oder deren Kühlkörper, sofern angebracht, geschützt sein.
Die Verkabelung der Stromversorgung zur Steuerung muss für min-
destens 4 A bemessen sein.
Die Verkabelung vom Kanalausgang zur Last muss höher als der maxi-
male Kanalausgangsstrom dimensioniert sein.
Wenn die Steuerung falsch eingerichtet ist oder im Fall eines Fehlers, kann
es vorkommen, dass die von der Stromversorgung an die Steuerung abge-
gebene Energie direkt mit einem oder allen Ausgangskanälen verbunden
wird. Sie müssen dies bei der Installation berücksichtigen und gege-
benenfalls für einen geeigneten Schutz sorgen.
Die Gleichstromversorgung der Steuerung muss extern durch eine träge
Sicherung (T4AH, 50V) bis 4A gesichert sein.
Der Installationstechniker muss einen deutlich gekennzeichneten, leicht
zugänglichen Schalter als Teil der Installation in der Nähe vorsehen, mit
dem die Steuerung an beiden Stromleitern von ihrer Stromquelle getrennt
werden kann.
Durch induktive Lasten verursachte Einschaltstöße zum PP600F müssen
extern unterdrückt werden.
Warnung: Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Produkt der Klasse A. Die
Verwendung in Wohngebieten kann zu Funkstörungen führen und eine
solche Verwendung sollte vermieden werden, es sei denn besondere
Maßnahmen werden vom Anwender ergriffen, um die Emissionen auf ein
Niveau zu begrenzen, das den Empfang von Rundfunkübertragungen
ermöglicht.

surcharges. Nous recommandons d'utiliser un boîtier d'alimentation qui
limite le courant de sortie de l'appareil à la valeur nominale appropriée du
contrôleur, en réglant la limite de courant sur l'alimentation (si possible) ou
via la protection contre les surcharges. Le boîtier d'alimentation doit être
approuvé selon la norme CEI 60950-1, CEI 60335-1, CEI 61010-1 ou
CEI61558-1,-2,-16. Le boîtier d'alimentation peut aussi être approuvé

Tous les conducteurs sous tension dérivés depuis l'alimentation secteur
doivent aussi posséder une sortie à tension de sécurité extra-basse. Se
reporter à la Section 10, Reference information pour les limites de tension
autorisées.
Lorsqu'il atteint ses valeurs nominales maximales, le boîtier du PP600F
peut dépasser les 75°C. Par conséquent, tout le câblage doit soit avoir
une capacité minimale de 100°C, soit être en plus isolé par une gaine
suffisamment résistante à la chaleur, soit ne pas toucher le boîtier en
métal du contrôleur ou son dissipateur thermique s'il est installé.
Le câblage d'alimentation vers le contrôleur doit avoir une capacité
minimale de 4A.
Le câblage reliant la sortie de la chaîne à la charge doit avoir une capacité
supérieure au courant de sortie maximal de la chaîne.
Si le contrôleur est mal réglé ou en cas de panne, l'énergie fournie par
l'alimentation au contrôleur peut devenir directement connectée à
n'importe quelle chaîne de sortie ou à toutes les chaînes de sortie. Vous
devez prendre en compte ce paramètre durant l'installation et si
nécessaire, fournir une protection adéquate.
L'alimentation en courant continu vers le contrôleur doit être protégée par
un fusible 4A en externe, plus précisément un fusible à action retardée
(T4AH, 50V).
Dans le cadre de l'installation, l'installateur doit fournir un interrupteur
clairement marqué, qui soit à proximité et facilement accessible, pour
permettre au contrôleur d'être déconnecté de sa source d'énergie sur les
conducteurs d'alimentation.
Les coupures causées par des charges inductives doivent être
supprimées de manière externe vers le PP600F.
Attention: Il s'agit d'un produit de classe A. Son utilisation en zone

The PP600F current controller provides repeatable intensity control of LED
lighting for machine vision applications. It includes the power supply,
intensity control, timing and triggering functions required for machine
vision systems.
LED lighting needs a constant current supply as small variations in voltage
can cause large variations in light output. Currents can be specified in
0.25mA steps below 1A and in 1mA steps above 1A.
Three modes of operation are provided separately for each channel:
Continuous:
In continuous mode the output is a continuous current.
Selected Continuous:
In selected continuous mode one or both inputs can be used to select an
output current. For each state of the inputs, the output current is fixed.
Strobed:
In this mode output is pulsed once per trigger. One input is used as a
trigger. The delay and pulse duration can range from 8µs to 9.9ms in 1µs
steps.
The PP600F is set up using four push buttons and a four digit seven-
segment display (see Section 9, Operation).
Configurations are saved in non-volatile memory so that the PP600F will
resume operation after a power cycle.

PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
6 Mechanical fixing
The PP600F can be mounted onto a flat surface using the threaded holes
in the base, see the diagram below. The PP600F should only be mounted
either vertically or with its base horizontal. It should be mounted at least
15mm away from the sides of plastic enclosures. Likewise leave a similar
space between the PP600F and any parts which could be affected by high
temperatures.
Note: The thickness of the base is 3.2mm. Fixing screws must not extend
into the enclosure by more than 6mm.
The enclosure of the PP600F is used to dissipate power in the form of heat.
For this reason the material to which the unit is attached must be suitable,
preferably metallic with ability to dissipate the produced heat. This is
particularly important if the power dissipation of the PP600F (as defined
by PDin Section 10, Reference information) exceeds 10 Watts.
The PP701 kit is available for mounting the PP600F on a DIN rail.
The PP600F does not have an IP rating and should be mounted so that
moisture and dirt cannot enter the unit.
To avoid a fire hazard, consider the implications of overheating in the
unlikely event of a fault in the PP600F. The power dissipation in a fault
—15 —

PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
condition is approximately given by the sum of the following for the two
channels:
(VPS-VL) x IPS
Where: VPS = Power supply voltage
VL= Rated voltage for lighting
IPS = Maximum current delivered by the power supply.
Either limit the power supply output current(s) so that not more than 30W
can be dissipated in the PP600F, or mount the unit in an enclosure.
For further information about heat output from the PP600F, refer to
Section 7, PP600F heat output.
To limit the power, set the power supply output voltages to the minimum
value required by the LED light and the PP600F together. Chose a PSU
that limits its output current by design, by setting the current limit on the
supply (if this feature exists) or use fuses. Remember to de-rate the fuse if
mounted in an enclosure, as the temperature will be higher than ambient.
An enclosure may also be required for other parts of the system such as
power supplies and should provide mechanical and environmental
protection in industrial applications.
If an enclosure is used, it should be metal or plastic (with a flammability
rating of UL94-V1 or better) and with no holes below or to the sides of the
PP600F when mounted. Cable entries below the PP600F should be
through glands that also have a flammability rating of UL94-V1 or better.
Observe the specified gap between the PP600F and any other part or side
of the enclosure.

PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
7 PP600F heat output
The PP600F controller has a linear circuit to produce constant current
output. This section explains how to calculate the heat output from the
PP600F and what measures you can take to manage it.
7.1 Heat output per channel
For a continuous output current, the heat output is given by:
Heat output = IOx (VS- VL)
Where: IO= Output current set by the user
VS= Supply voltage across VS1+ and GND
(for output 1)
VL= Voltage across the light LD1+ and LD1–
(for output 1)
This is usually easy to calculate as the voltage across the light is normally
the voltage rating of the light as declared in its specification. Alternatively
you can measure it using a voltmeter.
For a pulsed output, the heat output is given by:
Heat output = IOx duty cycle x (VS- VL)
Where: IO= Output current set by the user
VS= Supply voltage
VL= Voltage across the light
And duty cycle is defined as:
Duty cycle = WP x FT
Where: WP= Pulse width in seconds
FT= Trigger frequency in Hz
When overdriving, the voltage across the light is more difficult to identify. In
most cases, you can use the voltage rating of the light.
—17 —

PP600F/602F LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
7.2 Total heat output
The total heat output from the PP600F is given by adding the heat output
for both channels as calculated above.
If the heat output is no greater than 10W, no heatsinking is required. If the
heat output is between 10W and 24W, the PP600F needs to be mounted
on a solid piece of metal to dissipate the heat. Above 24W, it is necessary
to have a large heatsink with fan cooling.
There are several ways to reduce the heat output from the PP600F. Refer
to Application Note APP909 – PP600 Heat Output which is available from
the PP600 product page at www.gardasoft.com.

8 Connections
All connections are made on screw terminals. The opto-isolated inputs
require a voltage between 4.5v and 24v DC for a positive logic level. Open
circuit or less than 1v gives a negative logic level.
Note: The case of thePP600F is not connected to the GND supply
connection.
The input connector has the following connections:
Screw terminal ID Function
IP1+ Input 1 positive
IP1– Input 1 negative
IP2+ Input 2 positive
IP2– Input 2 negative
The power connector has the following connections:

Ensure that the wire gauge used for these connections is appropriate for
the current to be drawn. Ideally, wires should be double crimped or
independently secured to ensure they cannot come loose. Route low
voltage and mains wiring separately. If they must be loomed together
ensure that low voltage insulation rating is sufficient or that supplementary
insulation is used.
