NI CVS-1459RT: compact, rugged vision system

Robert Eastlund, Vice President of Sales for Graftek Imaging Inc, says: "The NI Compact Vision System is my go-to solution for vision applications where reliability and uptime are key. Now I can leverage the easy connectivity and high throughput of USB3 while taking advantage of new features for high-performance processing and HMI integration. The NI CVS-1459RT enables high-resolution, high-speed industrial vision solutions."

The NI CVS-1459RT is programmed with either LabVIEW system design software or Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI). Engineers have the option of using LabVIEW FPGA to further customise the FPGA-enabled I/O and tightly synchronise vision inspection results with other parts of industrial systems, such as encoders and proximity sensors.

NI's CVS-1459RT is based on the LabVIEW 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 open LabVIEW programming environment with commercial off-the-shelf hardware to simplify development so engineers can combine powerful vision tools, I/O, industrial communication, data logging and human machine interfaces (HMIs) into a single environment.

Key benefits:

• The rugged form factor is suitable for industrial applications up to 55degC
• Synchronisation with automation devices for camera and lighting triggering via onboard industrial I/O
• High-bandwidth camera interface with dual USB 3.0 ports for compatibility with low-cost USB3 Vision cameras; ability to use ports with peripherals such as external storage for logging data
• Processing power with quad-core Intel Atom processor and 64-bit NI Linux Real-Time OS
• Board-level versions available for OEM applications
