Overview
Configurable Software
National Instruments CVS-145x compact vision systems give you
flexibility, integration, and ruggedness for all of your inspection,
alignment, gauging, and identification applications. A highperformance processor integrated with three FireWire ports means
that NI CVS-145x systems are equipped to handle any inspection task.
A diverse range of digital I/O options means that CVS-145x systems
can communicate with a wide range of automation devices including
PLCs, relays, and robotics. CVS-145x systems are designed for extreme
operating temperatures common in manufacturing environments. No
longer are you confined to the limited image processing capability,
sensor size, and sensor speed of traditional smart cameras.

Choose Your Compact Vision System
There are three CVS-145x products. The CVS-1456 provides highperformance image processing and analysis along with ample storage
for images and data. If you need color processing or want to inspect
from multiple cameras, choose the CVS-1455. The CVS-1454 is ideally
suited for applications that require a few simple inspections from a

communicate with a variety of automation devices.
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.

Rugged Real-Time Compact Vision Systems
Connect to Compact FieldPoint
Rugged, Reliable Design
CVS-145x systems connect easily to Compact FieldPoint, the
National Instruments real-time modular industrial control and
measurement system. 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.
CVS-145x systems are ready for panel and DIN-rail mounting.
