SUPPORTED VISION HARDWARE<br />

Supported cameras<br />

PreciseVision is a software package and does not<br />

include hardware. This software is designed to capture<br />

vision images that are generated by either Ethernet or<br />

USB cameras. PreciseVision permits three camera<br />

options:<br />

OPTION 1 - DALSA Genie GigE cameras that<br />

communicate via a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection.<br />

OPTION 2 - IDS Imaging uEye cameras that<br />

communicate via a USB 2.0 connection.<br />

OPTION 3 - Other 3rd party USB cameras (Precise<br />

is not able to provide support for 3rd party USB<br />

cameras that have not been tested and qualified)<br />

VISION<br />

When using the standard version of PreciseVision,<br />

the system can connect to multiple DALSA cameras<br />

or multiple USB cameras. However, you cannot<br />

connect to both DALSA and USB cameras<br />

simultaneoulsy. In the Multi-Instance version of<br />

PreciseVision, the same rule applies to each<br />

instance, i.e. a single instance cannot be connected<br />

to a mix of DALSA and USB cameras. However,<br />

different instances can be connected to either<br />

DALSA or USB cameras.<br />

PC CPU Loading<br />

Typically more expensive<br />

640x480 up to 1600x1200<br />

Similar to IDS for same resolution<br />

Supports trigger input and acquisition output<br />

Reduced load relative to USB cameras<br />

Typically 20% less expensive than equivalent DALSA cameras. Nonindustrial<br />

3 rd party USB cameras can be significantly less expensive.<br />

640x480 up to 2560x1920 with even higher resolutions to be announced<br />

soon.<br />

Similar to DALSA for same resolution using USB 2.0 (480 Mbits/sec).<br />

USB 3.0 (4.8Gbits/sec) due in 2011 will reduce the acquisition time.<br />

Same as DALSA.<br />

Higher load relative to Ethernet cameras. Multiple cameras will require a<br />

higher performance CPU. 5 or more cameras may degrade acquisition<br />

time.<br />

Cable length 100M 5M. Powered USB hubs might be able to extend length<br />

Installation and support<br />

Arm-mounted cameras<br />

Fewer steps but more prone to complications due to firewalls,<br />

Ethernet card compatibility, Ethernet switch problems, and<br />

somewhat more complicated driver installation.<br />

Simpler to install on Precise robots since both Ethernet cable<br />

and power are available at end-of-arm<br />

Typically easier for single cameras if wired point to point since no firewall,<br />

less issues with USB hardware interface, simpler driver installation.<br />

Multiple cameras are a bit more difficult to setup since each must be<br />

assigned an ID and registered with the DirectShow interface.<br />

Requires extra external cable for Precise robots<br />

Power 12VDC 4 watts provided in second cable from extra PS 5VDC taken from single USB cable<br />
