Adlink Technology, a provider of machine vision platforms and boards, has released the EOS-1000, a compact vision system based on the Intel Core2 Duo P8400 processor. The EOS-1000 provides four independent PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports with data transfer rates up to 4.0Gb/s and combines high computing power and multi-camera imaging, ideal for applications such as 3D vision robotic guidance.
The EOS-1000 is a compact (200 x 165 x 85mm) vision system designed for demanding industrial environments and mission critical applications. It has undergone harsh vibration and shock testing during its design to ensure durability. While in operation, the EOS-1000 can tolerate vibrations of up to 5G. Long-life embedded components were selected and system monitoring components were incorporated to monitor CPU temperature, fan speed, and system responsiveness to provide a very robust and reliable platform.
The PoE technology featured on the EOS-1000 allows power to be supplied through the Ethernet cable. Vision applications will greatly benefit by the extended cable distances of up to 100m. Such PoE solutions can simplify system installation and lower the maintenance costs. The system also provides an auto detection function to ensure compatibility with both PoE, and conventional non-PoE devices.
The system also features multiple I/O options, including two RS232/485, four USB, 32 isolated digital lines, and dual storage options (HDD and CompactFlash) for a ready-to-use vision system.
