Software for Fast Development or Performance – You Choose With the National Instruments machine vision software approach, you no longer need to make a trade-off between the power and flexibility of a programming language such as LabVIEW and the ease of use of a menu-driven environment such as Vision Builder for Automated Inspection, which simplifies the development process by replacing programming complexity with an interactive development environment. Vision Builder for Automated Inspection is designed to solve gauging, part present/not present, alignment, and optical character recognition applications. Overall, if you need the power Rugged Real-Time Compact Vision Systems and flexibility of a full application development environment, you should use LabVIEW. With LabVIEW, you develop your own custom image processing algorithms, optimize your image processing application for speed, optimize memory usage, develop a custom user interface, and extend the I/O capabilities to PXI and Compact FieldPoint. To bridge from a configuration environment for fast development to an easy-to-use programming environment such as LabVIEW, Vision Builder for Automated Inspection generates LabVIEW code so you can customize and optimize your inspection algorithms to meet the requirements of the most complex applications. Vision Builder for Automated Inspection NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection is configurable machine vision software with which you can prototype, benchmark, and deploy applications. Vision Builder for Automated Inspection does not require programming yet is scalable to powerful programming environments such as LabVIEW. A built-in deployment interface is included so you can quickly deploy your inspection, guidance, and identification applications. It also includes the ability to set up complex pass/fail decisions to control digital I/O devices and to communicate with serial devices such as PLCs. LabVIEW National Instruments LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and a CVS-145x system with cameras and accessories deliver deterministic, real-time inspection. Using LabVIEW graphical programming, you develop your LabVIEW Real-Time applications on a desktop machine, and then download the program to run on a CVS-145x system with a real-time OS. Thus, you can use all the powerful development tools of LabVIEW to develop real-time, reliable solutions. The NI Vision Development Module is for scientists, engineers, and technicians who are developing LabVIEW machine vision and scientific imaging applications. It includes IMAQ Vision, a library of powerful functions for vision processing, and Vision Assistant, an interactive environment for developers who need to quickly prototype and test LabVIEW machine vision applications. Choice of Sensor By using FireWire image acquisition, CVS-145x systems give you the option of choosing the sensor that is right for your application. You can choose a low-cost, low-resolution sensor or a high-performance sensor. In addition, as new improved industrial FireWire cameras enter the marketplace, CVS-145x systems are ready for them. External Device Control CVS-145x systems have 29 digital I/O lines with built-in functionality for communicating with external devices, such as reading quadrature encoder inputs, generating strobe pulses, and writing to or reading from digital lines. Using these signals, you can dynamically control your lighting or cameras, synchronize with a conveyor belt, or communicate with relays that control solenoids and other actuators. CVS-145x systems have 15 digital input lines – 13 isolated 24 V lines and two dedicated TTL lines. There are 14 digital output lines – four isolated 24 V and 10 dedicated TTL. In addition, CVS-145x systems can send commands and data to other devices, such as PLCs, via Ethernet and RS232 Serial. Connect the system to any network to monitor the inspection. Send images over the network for viewing or store them in a database for future reference. In addition you can use NI VI Server technology to publish your data and results in real time to a Web browser. Real-Time Display Using the VGA output, you can see the product under inspection in real time, as well as pass/fail and inspection data. All of the overlays are user definable; with LabVIEW you can change the overlays programmatically and create custom user displays.

If you need analog signals, specialized digital inputs, or other types of distributed control to interface to your CVS-145x system, you can connect them easily. You can use either RS232 or NI DataSocket technology to communicate with individual channels on Compact FieldPoint modules. Use this data for decision making on a CVS-145x system or show the data on the real-time display. Run your application with confidence. CVS-145x systems use the powerful, award-winning LabVIEW Real-Time engine, a reliable and embedded programming environment. Time-bounded algorithms ensure that you can meet the deterministic demands of your system; configure your inspections to occur in a defined amount of time. CVS-145x systems were designed with harsh industrial environments in mind. The temperature range of 0 to 55 °C ensures that uptime is kept at a maximum. The absence of fans, vents, or moving parts ensures the compact vision system to be a reliable addition to your industrial inspection robotics, packaging, or assembly applications.
