National Instruments Corporation 782997-01 NI PCIe-8233, 4-Port GigE Vision Frame Grabber with Power over Ethernet

The NI CVS-1457RT is a compact and rugged machine vision system that withstands the harsh environments common in vision-guided robotics, industrial inspection, and OEM vision applications.

The NI Compact Vision System uses GigE Vision with Power over Ethernet technology to connect with off-the-shelf cameras, giving you options with a wide range of functionality, performance, and price. In addition, you can connect two cameras (or more using switches) to one compact vision system for multicamera inspections to significantly lower the price of your deployed system.

The NI CVS-1457RT offers unprecedented FPGA-based I/O capabilities and network connectivity for distributed machine vision applications. The advanced features include the ability to synchronize your inspection results with industrial I/O and configure hardware-timed network triggers to trigger camera acquisition. Use the advanced FPGA personality that is shipped with the system or customize the FPGA functionality using LabVIEW FPGA.

To program the NI Compact Vision System, you have the choice of configuring your machine vision application quickly with NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) or programming your application with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle. Vision Builder AI is an easy-to-use stand-alone programming environment for creating full visual inspection applications. If you prefer a more customized solution, you can program the NI Compact Vision System with LabVIEW software and the LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle, which includes the three modules you need for programming LabVIEW vision applications on real-time targets (LabVIEW Real-Time Module, LabVIEW Application Builder, NI Vision Development Module).
