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.
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
