Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 DF

Four-connection CoaXPress CXP-12 frame grabber with Data Forwarding

- Four CoaXPress CXP-12 connections and four Data Forwarding outputs: 5,000 MB/s camera bandwidth
- PCIe 3.0 (Gen 3) x8 bus: 6,700 MB/s bus bandwidth
- Feature-rich set of 10 digital I/O lines
- Extensive camera control functions

CoaXPress Data Forwarding

The data forwarding capability allows image data from one camera to be transferred to multiple frame grabbers on different Host PCs to distribute the image processing load. Data can be distributed between up to 10 synchronized daisy chained PCs. PCs can be close to each other or up to 40 meters away.

Frame Grabber CXP 12 Quad Fast High Resolution

Acquire images from the fastest and highest resolution cameras

  • Highest data acquisition rate in the industry
  • Up to 5,000 MB/s bandwidth from camera to host PC memory

Line scan Metadata

Line-Scan Triggering Capabilities

Allied Vision frame grabbers offer many capabilities to synchronize line-scan or 1D cameras, sensors and lighting controllers. Frame grabbers can control the camera scanning rate based on the signals received from a motion encoder.

They support continuous web scanning (to inspect infinite, continuously moving surfaces without losing a single line) and discrete object scanning (to acquire the image of objects moving in front of the camera).

Area scan Metadata

Area-Scan Triggering Capabilities

Allied Vision frame grabbers offer many capabilities to synchronize area-scan or 2D cameras, sensors and lighting controllers, for stationery or moving objects in the field of view, or moving cameras.

Memento Event Logging Tool

Memento is an advanced development and debugging tool available for Coaxlink and Grablink cards.
Memento records an accurate log of all the events related to the camera, the frame grabber and its driver as well as the application.

  • It provides the developer with a precise timeline of time-stamped events, along with context information and logic analyzer view
  • It provides valuable assistance during application development and debugging, as well as during machine operation

Other benefits

General Purpose I/O Lines

    • Compatible with a wide range of sensors and motion encoders.
    • High-speed differential inputs: Quadrature motion encoder support up to 5 MHz.
    • Isolated current-sense inputs: 5V, 12V, 24V signaling voltages accepted, up to 50 kHz, individual galvanic isolation up to 250VDC and 170VAC RMS.
    • Isolated contact outputs.
    • High-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs/ LVTTL outputs.

Flexible Line-Scan Camera Operation With The Rate Converter

  • The rate converter is a smart, programmable frequency multiplier/divider.
  • Used with motion encoders and line-scan cameras, it allows the user to choose the aspect ratio of the pixels in the image.
  • It provides a way to calibrate the acquisition chain to easily reach square (1:1 aspect ratio) pixels.
