Matrox Iris GT with Matrox Design Assistant
Matrox Iris GT for Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) NEW
Matrox GatorEye – Industrial camera family NEW
The Matrox Iris GT is a line of dust-proof, immersion-resistant and extremely rugged smart cameras equipped with the highly efficient embedded Intel® Atom™ processor. Applications for the Matrox Iris GT are developed without conventional programming using the Matrox Design Assistant integrated development environment, or the optional Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) programmer’s toolkit.
Matrox Iris GT – Powerful, configurable smart cameras
Matrox Iris GT is a line of powerful smart cameras with Matrox Design Assistant
2.1, an intuitive, versatile and extendable integrated development environment
(IDE). Manufacturing engineers and technicians can easily and quickly configure
and deploy machine vision applications on a highly integrated platform without
the need for conventional programming. Video capture, analysis, location, measurement,
reading, verification, communication and I/O operations as well as a web-based
operator interface are all set up within the single IDE.
Benefits
- Simplify system integration by using a camera, processor and software
development package from a single vendor with over 30 years of industry
experience
- Reliably handle typical production rates by way of a powerful embedded
Intel® architecture processor running Microsoft® Windows® CE real-time
operating system
- Conveniently administer, control and monitor application and device
through a web-based user interface
- Tackle different image resolution, size and speed requirements through
a choice of monochrome CCD sensors
- Synchronize image capture and processing to the production process
using the externally triggered electronic camera shutter
- Directly interface to other automation equipment through the integrated
digital I/Os, Ethernet and serial ports
- Communicate over the factory-floor and enterprise networks by way of
an Ethernet interface
- Sturdy, dust-proof and washable IP67-rated casing that can be used
in a variety of applications
Matrox Design Assistant
Matrox Design Assistant is a flowchart-based, Windows program that integrates a development environment (IDE) for Matrox Iris GT smart cameras. In addition to building a flowchart, the IDE enables users to directly design a graphical operator interface to the application.
Benefits
- Easily and quickly solve machine vision applications using a intuitive flowchart-based methodology
- Tackle machine vision applications with utmost confidence using field-proven tools for analyzing, locating, measuring, reading, and verifying
- Learn and use a single program for creating both the application logic and operator interface
- Maximize productivity by getting instant feedback on image analysis and processing operations
- Communicate actions and results to other automation and enterprise equipment through discrete I/Os, RS-232 and Ethernet (TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP™2 and MODBUS®)
- Maintain control and independence through the ability to create custom flowchart steps
