IEEE 1394 Interfaces with Reconfigurable Digital I/O

NI PCI-8254R

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

With the National Instruments PCI-8254R 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, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and NI programmable automation controllers (PACs).

Though not required, you can extend the functionality of the NI PCI-8254R board by taking advantage of NI reconfigurable I/O 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.
