• All versions are designed for High-Speed Image Acquisition Based on the PCI bus

CDCMachine VisionCamera

Cognex provides CDC Series numbersMachine VisionCamera, supported in combination with MVS-8100D, for wide range visual applications. CDC SeriesMachine VisionThe camera combines the latest digital camera technologies such as CMOS image sensor technology. Unlike analog cameras that require filtering and sampling before signal processing, the CDC SeriesMachine VisionThe camera converts 1: 1 digital images directly and provides images without "pixel jitter.

CDC-100 camera-the world's smallest high-resolution digital CMOS camera, is an economical choice for high-resolution imaging applications. The CDC-100 provides a 13-frame/second full-resolution image (1280x1024) when detecting tiny targets that require higher resolution ). For higher-speed applications, the CDC-50 provides a standard resolution (640x480) image with a frame speed of up to 60 frames/second. MVS-8100DImage Acquisition CardSupports synchronous collection of combinations of CDC cameras (up to 3 ). VisionPro supports the use of 2 MVS-8100D in one PC when more than 3 cameras are neededImage Acquisition Card.

The CDC series cameras are half the weight and volume of normal digital cameras and are suitable for a variety of mounting structures, including: robot arm and otherMachine VisionSystemX-Y platform. In harsh application environments, the robust Housing provides protection. It has 9-Pin Micro-cable connector. It has optional built-in Optical Isolation trigger and access connector, without other connection modules.

Communication flexibility

New communication options simplify the integration process

In the visualSystemAnd PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), robots andMotion ControlTraditional complex tasks that require careful planning. This task may take weeks to write user communication software, and more time to test and debug theseSoftware. To solve the preceding problems, VisionPro provides optional Cognex VisionLinx communication.SoftwareGreatly accelerates and simplifies the visualSystemIntegration with other automation devices, applications, and networks.

Connection with Control Products

VisionLinxSoftwareAllows users to quickly configure two channels of communication between VisionPro, PLC, SLC, and PC-based controllers through an easy-to-use user interface. VisionPro runs directly in the host PC and sends Data directly to an automated network including ControlNet, Data Highway Plus, and Ethernet using the DF1 communication protocol.

 

VisionLinx has an easy-to-use dialog box that provides comprehensive management of data transmission between VisionPro and the selected terminal.

 

VisionLinx has easy-to-use ActiveX controls and COM objects, allowing users to add communication options in their VisionPro applications. The ActiveX Control of VisionLinx provides an easy way to add the "point and click" configuration for communication. The VisionLinx COM object allows you to simplify the data flow to the PLC. Data in VisionPro is sent to a specific data table or storage area in the PLC. You can control the data buffer size, data flow direction, and display and activation records of the status of each connection. VisionLinx 2.0 has a PLC simulator application that allows you to test communication software without connecting to the PLC. CommunicationSoftwareDebugging has to wait for controlSystemTime and budget are wasted. VisionLinx solves the above problems by replacing RSLinx, communication hardware, and PLC with VisionLinx simulator. VisionLinx can respond to read and write operations like a PLC without the need for programmer code. When an application is online immediately, you can know whether it can work. If a problem occurs, they can determine whether the fault point is a PLC configuration or a network wiring, rather than a problem with their program.
