vicosys® 5400 offers outstanding image processing performance

Whether it's a blob analysis, a grey value test, a 360° pattern scan, or an angular position, the new vicosys^® 5400 image processing PC completes these tasks more than twice as fast as its immediate predecessor, the vicosys^® 4400. That's why the high-performance image processing system is suitable for complex tasks and time-critical computer operations.

The compact and robust casing (147 x 171 x 230 mm3) is identical in construction on the outside to the standard version, the vicosys^® 5300. Instead of an Atom E3827 Processor there is an Intel Core i3-6102 CPU running inside. It is supported by 4GB of DDR4 SDRAM, as well as by a 4GB CompactFlash card. The system can be integrated directly into a machine environment, and could make a PLC (programmable logic controller) redundant.

Wide array of connections

Vicosys^® 5400 works together with the most diverse image sources. High resolution (30 megapixels) and high speed (300 fps), up to 16 cameras from different manufacturers can be used simultaneously and in any combination. So, for example, area scanners and push broom scanners, black-and-white and colour cameras, CCD and CMOS image sensors, as well as near-infrared and thermal imaging cameras.

A wide array of connections, for example four 4 GigE Vision camera interfaces, as well as the processing interfaces CANopen, Sercos3 (in the pipeline), Modbus, and four opto-isolated digital on/off switches can allow for versatile configuration options. Video output is via a DVI port.

The image processing system's concept of operations and the range of functions are compatible with the smart cameras in the pictor^® family. So the development of a smart, compatible component system for industrial image processing continues resolutely.
