The DSP (Digital Signal Processor)-based multi-processor and multi-tasking system MVS-35cf is now even more robust and enhanced by a compact flash memory drive. There is no compromise between PC and accessories, and no intelligent camera where size is more important than function. Its concept was not evolved from "synergetic considerations", but in the heads of experienced developers on the basis of market demands and requirements.
The MVS-35cf is a stand-alone image processing system developed to use the advantages of modern double-speed full-frame cameras. Only 0.02 seconds are now needed to record the image of a component to be tested; in other words:if the mechanical conditions are satisfactory, it is possible to check at least 3000 specimen per minute. The MVS-35cf is able to record and evaluate a camera image at any time, i.e. asynchronously and independently of the video cycle; up to 50 times per second at full resolution. If two cameras are connected to the MVS-35cf, these can naturally be read out in a way that is determined exclusively by the time of the part arrival, simultaneously and asynchronously. As a result, it is now possible for the first time to check and measure two views of a product with one image processing system at the same time. Due to the fact that the MVS-35cf runs independently of the video cycle, the exposure time is identical to the integration time of the camera and the interference of light from external sources is reduced considerably in comparison with previous levels. The MVS-35cf has all the practical interfaces needed for automation applications: a data bus for communication with lighting systems, inputs and outputs for 16 sensors and 16 actuators, Ethernet (TCP/IP) as well as a special input for an incremental encoder are proof of the fact that all interfaces have been thought of. The visiTeach® software is stored in the fail-safe EEPROM memory as before. A PC compatible compact flash memory drive is provided for saving measured values, images or programs.
