IEEE 1394 Image Acquisition with Digital I/O NI PCI-8254R, NI PCIe-8255R NEW! • 2 IEEE 1394a camera inputs • 400 Mb/s image data transfer • 29 TTL and isolated DIO lines • 15 input, 14 output • Reconfigurable DIO with LabVIEW FPGA Operating Systems • Windows XP/2000 Recommended Software • LabVIEW and the NI Vision Development Module • Vision Builder AI Driver Software • NI Vision Acquisition software (included) Overview With the National Instruments 825xR image acquisition boards, you can build machine vision systems that trigger and synchronize two or more IEEE 1394 cameras without requiring additional digital I/O boards or custom circuitry. The NI PCI-8254R has 400 Mb/s of bandwidth and two direct-connect IEEE 1394a ports that share that bandwidth. The NI PCIe-8255R has 800 Mb/s of bandwidth shared between two directconnect IEEE 1394b ports (IEEE 1394a cameras are compatible with a converter cable). Both of these boards feature NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) technology and include all the digital I/O you need for industrial control and communication. About IEEE 1394 IEEE 1394 is a PC bus standard ideally suited for machine vision. Any IEEE 1394 camera that complies with the DCAM (or IIDC) standard works with the National Instruments Vision Acquisition driver. With digital image quality, simple cabling, standard software, and a lower cost, IEEE 1394 cameras are quickly replacing analog cameras in machine vision applications. Today, there are more than 300 industrial IEEE 1394 cameras available from nearly every major vision company. Vision Acquisition Software NI Vision Acquisition software offers a mobile, easy-to-use solution for acquiring images from IEEE 1394 cameras. The driver software integrates with NI Measurement & Automation Explorer, so you can easily configure your camera. You also can quickly set up your system by connecting an IEEE 1394 camera to your computer and immediately begin acquiring images. With a set of easy-to-use functions, you can quickly create applications in National Instruments LabVIEW, C/C++, or Visual Basic. Vision Acquisition software is compatible with IIDCcompliant cameras. You can connect a maximum of 16 cameras to your board and acquire from each one. Advanced functionality includes the ability to query the camera for onboard parameters and to change programmatic parameters programmatically. Vision Acquisition is also compatible with Camera Link, analog, GigE, and parallel digital cameras (through compatible NI hardware), so you can use programs written for NI 825xR boards with a wide range of cameras without major changes to your code. Onboard Digital I/O The NI 825xR series has 15 digital input lines – 13 isolated 24 V lines and two dedicated TTL lines. There are also 14 digital output lines – four isolated 24 V and 10 dedicated TTL. You can access all 29 digital lines for synchronizing vision components such as cameras, triggers, and lights. You also can use quadrature encoder inputs, product selection lines, and general-purpose digital I/O for communicating with actuators, PLCs, and NI programmable automation controllers (PACs). Reconfigurable I/O As with the Compact Vision System, you can extend the NI 825xR functionality with NI RIO technology. Using the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can customize all 29 digital I/O lines to perform a wider variety of packaging inspection, assembly verification, and robot control applications. IEEE 1394 Image Acquisition with Digital I/O Multicamera Inspection Choice of Sensor NI 825xR boards provide a low-cost way to inspect from several angles. With two IEEE 1394 ports, you can directly connect two cameras to a board with ease. You can connect up to 16 IEEE 1394 cameras to each board with the addition of an IEEE 1394 hub. IEEE 1394 is a standard bus, which means you have a wide variety of cameras that can connect to NI 825xR boards. From the more than 300 cameras available to complete your application, your choices range from a low-cost, low-resolution sensor to a high-performance sensor. There are also specialty cameras such as infrared and linescan. To find a complete list of cameras, visit the NI Camera Advisor at ni.com/camera. In addition, as new, improved industrial IEEE 1394 cameras enter the marketplace, you can upgrade your system with the latest cameras without changing the image acquisition board or your software.
