Euresys Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 Value Capability

Line Scan Trigger Capability 2/2

- The Coaxlink image acquisition card controls the camera scan rate based on signals received from the motion encoder.

If the part is moving faster, the camera's acquisition line rate will increase.

If the part is moving slower, the camera's acquisition line rate decreases.

- The Coaxlink board interprets the A/B signals from the Quadrature Motion Encoder to know in which direction (forward or backward) the part is moving.

- The Coaxlink card can also be commanded to acquire laser lines when the object is moving only forwards or only backwards.

- When a backward movement is detected, the function called ‘Backward movement cancellation’ stops the acquisition.

Line acquisition is automatically resumed when forward motion is resumed at the position where acquisition was interrupted.

- The rate converter enables the camera to acquire lines at any programmable resolution below or above the resolution of the motion encoder.

This provides designers with an amazing degree of freedom in the application development process.

This provides designers with amazing freedom and flexibility in the application development process.

- The rate splitter allows the camera to acquire images at a resolution higher or lower than that of the motion encoder,

and is implemented by splitting the encoder input signal using a programmable integer multiple.

input signal using a programmable integer multiplier.

Line-scan Metadata insertion

When activated, this feature records metadata beside image data. Line metadata are captured every acquired image line.

Buffer metadata are only captured when the first image line of a buffer is acquired.

The metadata are composed with a configurable set of general purpose event counters, quadrature encoder

The metadata are composed with a configurable set of general purpose event counters, quadrature encoder position counters and/or I/O line status.

This feature allows line-scan applications to correlate image data with system events including motion encoder positions.
