National Instruments has announced the NICVS-1457RT, a rugged, compact device powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom processor and featuring two independent GigE Vision ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology.

These ports support deterministic camera triggering over the Ethernet bus, so users can power the camera, send triggers and acquire images all from a single Ethernet cable. 

The new device also features FPGA-enabled I/O, which can be combined with the Vision RIO API to tightly synchronise vision inspection results with other parts of the system, such as encoders, ejectors and proximity sensors. It is programmed with either NI LabVIEW system design software or NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI). 

The NI CVS-1457RT is a part of theLabVIEW reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture, an integral part of the NI graphical system design platform. A modern approach to designing, prototyping and deploying embedded monitoring and control systems, graphical system design combines the openLabVIEW programming environmentwith commercial off-the-shelf hardware to dramatically simplify development, so engineers can combine powerful vision tools, I/O, industrial communication, data logging and human machine interface into a single environment.

Small, rugged and fanless, the NI CVS-1457RT is ideal for industrial applications. Onboard I/O includes eight isolated digital inputs, eight isolated digital outputs, two transistor-transistor logic I/O, a quadrature encoder, a VGA port, two USB ports, a serial port and a LAN port.
