ADLINK Introduces PCIe-CPL64 64-bit Dual-Channel PoCL Frame Grabber
ADLINK Technology, Inc., a leading provider of industrial frame grabbers, has announced the release of the PCIe-CPL64, supporting the power over camera link (PoCL) standard. The PCIe-CPL64 is specifically designed for cost-sensitive computer vision applications by providing two base configuration channels with data transfer rates up to 4.0 Gb/s and pixel clock rates up to 85 MHz. The PoCL feature reduces costs by reducing wiring as external power adapters would not be necessary.
The PCIe-CPL64 can also support non-PoCL cameras automatically through SafePower function which is designed for backwards compatibility with non-PoCL cameras. By supporting the extended memory space of 64-bit operating system such as the 64-bit editions of Microsoft® Windows® XP and Microsoft® Vista®, the PCIe-CPL64 is well-suited for large address space vision applications such as flat panel display, LCD, and solar cell surface inspections.
The PCIe-CPL64 provides two TTL/LVDS trigger inputs to synchronize the image acquisition process with an external encoder or position sensor and two programmable trigger output to manage triggered events such as activating a strobe light. The PCIe-CPL64 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Microsoft® Windows® XP and Microsoft® Windows® Vista operating systems. ADLINK also provides CamCreator®, a simple, yet powerful, utility to setup, configure, test, and debug a system without requiring any software programming.
Pricing and Availability
The PCIe-CPL64 is currently available in the low $800s for OEM quantities.
