Webcast: NI 177x High-Performance Smart Camera Overview
The high-performance NI 177x Smart Cameras feature monochrome or color CCD image sensor options and a powerful Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor for automated inspection applications. The rugged mechanical design, including IP67 housing, M12 connectors, and lens cover, protects the cameras against harmful ingress of water (up to 1 m immersion) and dust.
These high-performance NI Smart Cameras also include digital I/O lines (4 input, 4 output), an RS232 serial connection, and a Gigabit Ethernet connection to dynamically control lighting, synchronize with conveyor belts, and drive sorting mechanisms. In addition, the connectivity options support communications protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet I/P, and TCP I/P to interface with other industrial devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), programmable automation controllers (PACs), and human machine interfaces (HMIs). The NI 177x Smart Cameras also feature a VGA video out connection to monitor inspection images.
With the National Instruments machine vision software approach, you can configure your inspection with the easy-to-use, stand-alone NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection software (included with NI Smart Cameras) or program it for more advanced customization using the NI Vision Development Module. Both options feature hundreds of built-in machine vision and image processing functions you can use to enhance images, check for presence, locate features, identify objects, and measure parts. The deterministic real-time operating system offers increased reliability for inspection systems that require long-term, continuous operation.
NI Smart Cameras include the following:
-NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (full-featured for NI Smart Camera and NI vision real-time target emulation only)
-NI Vision Development Module Deployment License
-NI Vision Builder AI Deployment License
Note: NI LabVIEW software, the Vision Development Module, and the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for development must be purchased separately.
