The CVS-1457RT is packed with features such as dual Power over Ethernet, GigE machine vision ports, deterministic camera triggering over Ethernet, and I/O via the FPGA.
National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced the CVS-1457RT machine vision system, a compact and rugged machine vision system that is powered by a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom processor with two independent GigE Vision ports using PoE technology. (Power Over Ethernet). These ports support deterministic camera triggering over the Ethernet bus so users can power the camera, send triggers, and acquire images from a single Ethernet cable.
The CVS-1457RT also features FPGA-based I/O, which can be combined with the easy-to-use Vision RIO API to seamlessly synchronize visual inspection results with other parts of the system, such as encoders, ejectors, and sensors. of proximity. The CVS-1457RT can be programmed with either NI LabVIEW system design software or with NI Vision Builder for automated inspections (AI).
The CVS-1457RT is a part of the LabVIEW RIO (Reconfigurable I/O Architecture), an integral part of NI's graphical systems design platform. A modern approach to the design, prototyping, and deployment of embedded monitoring and control systems, graphical system design combines the LabVIEW programming environment with off-the-shelf hardware to dramatically simplify development, making engineers can combine powerful machine vision, I/O, industrial communication, data logging, and human-machine interface tools in a single environment.
"The CVS-1457RT represents a huge step forward for NI's compact machine vision systems," said Jamie Smith, director of product marketing for embedded systems at National Instruments. “I don't think there is a better machine vision system out there for engineers and scientists involved in machine building, automated inspection, manufacturing, or quality control.”
The most important advantages:
• Form Factor: The CVS-1457RT is small, robust and fanless, ideal for industrial applications.
• PoE Technology: The CVS-1457RT reduces cabling complexity and is compatible with recent low-cost PoE cameras on the market and “non-PoE” GigE cameras.
• I/O and Synchronization: Embedded I/O includes eight isolated digital inputs, eight isolated digital outputs, two I/O with transistor-transistor logic, a quadrature encoder, one VGA port, two USB ports, one serial port, and a LAN port.
• Programmable with LabVIEW: Engineers can take advantage of the productivity benefits of the LabVIEW RIO architecture and easily integrate the CVS-1457RT into existing toolchains.
