The
PL-A741 is a high-performance, 1.3 megapixel monochrome
C-mount camera designed specifically for machine
vision applications. Fully IIDC 1.3 (DCAM) compliant,
the PL-A741 uses a standard FireWire interface
for plug-and-play operation with the host computer.
Extended features—such as trigger and general-purpose
output controls—add a level of functionality
beyond the IIDC
standard, providing excellent performance for
the price.
The
new PL-A741 from PixeLINK combines the functionality
of a frame grabber with a CMOS imager to provide
a solid machine vision camera in a simple to use
package. With triggering and GPO capabilities
on-board the camera and no need for a separate
frame grabber in the computer, your system complexity
and cost are reduced. Data from the camera is
transferred to the computer over a standard, inexpensive
FireWire adapter and cable, which supplies camera
power and provides all control inputs.
The PL-A741 is a feature rich camera
with DCAM (IIDC V1.31) compatible functionality
including multiple image formats and modes, including
Format 7, shutter, gain, brightness (black level
offset), frame-rate controls, and trigger (Modes
0 to 4 with variable polarity). In addition, the
PL-A741 has extended functionality that can be
accessed using the PL-SDK-VERSION-4 Application
Programming Interface (API). This functionality
includes additional trigger modes, general purpose
outputs that can be used as communications lines
or strobe signals for lighting or motion controllers,
on-board user-programmable lookup table (LUT),
applied in real-time, on-board non-volatile memory
for camera configuration, and camera configuration
descriptors for rapid changes to camera settings
between frames.
The PL-A741 was designed for generic
machine vision and OEM applications such inspection,
testing, OCR tasks, positioning and high-contrast
imaging. It can also be used as a line-scan camera
for low-speed applications.
