IEEE 1394 Interfaces with Reconfigurable DIO

NI PCIe-8255R

  • IEEE 1394 interface and digital I/O on one board
  • Includes NI Vision Acquisition software
  • Communicate triggers and results with 29 digital I/O lines
  • Acquire from multiple IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b cameras
Data Sheet

With the National Instruments NI PCIe-8255R image acquisition board, you can trigger and synchronize multiple IEEE 1394 cameras without requiring additional digital I/O boards or custom circuitry. This board contains 29 digital I/O lines for synchronizing vision components such as cameras, triggers, and lights. It also contains quadrature encoder inputs, product selection lines, and general-purpose digital I/O for communicating with actuators, PLCs, and NI programmable automation controllers (PACs).

Though not required, you can extend the functionality of the NI PCIe-8255R board by taking advantage of NI Reconfigurable IO technology. Using the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can customize the 29 digital I/O lines of the board to perform a wider variety of packaging inspection, assembly verification, and robot control applications.
