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.

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.
