Artistic Licence artCore

artCore is a powerful, compact and scalable application lighting controller, providing up to 32 universes of networked lighting control from a single DIN rail mounted device. Designed for both standalone applications and as the central control platform for the cueLumen solution, artCore combines lighting control, automation, user interfaces, timed operation and system integration within a robust, PoE-powered controller. Supporting Art-Net and sACN, artCore provides the flexibility required for modern networked lighting installations while retaining the simplicity needed for everyday architectural control.

Specifications

Control & Communication

A comprehensive application engine provides multi-zone control, extensive scene storage, sequenced events, master controls, multiple button operating modes and configurable startup logic.

artCore supports scalable user-interface solutions ranging from simple button stations to touchscreen control. The previous touchscreen support limit has been removed, while systems can support up to 128 keypads, enabling comprehensive control across large, multi-room and multi-zone installations.

An integrated astronomical timeclock enables lighting to respond automatically to time of day, sunrise and sunset, with time maintained using NTP or the internal real-time clock (RTC).

For larger or mission-critical applications, multiple artCore controllers can be cascaded, allowing systems to scale beyond 32 universes and providing options for system redundancy.

Configuration

Configuration and system management are supported by Composer , Artistic Licence's offline configuration and management application. Composer enables an entire system to be designed and configured offline before deployment, with configuration subsequently pushed to the installed system. Existing system configuration can also be pulled back into Composer for review, modification and maintenance.

Enhanced diagnostics and internal logging are available through the artCore web interface, providing installers and system maintainers with greater visibility of system operation and simplifying commissioning and fault finding.
