Customer Testimonials

"At our Global Technology Development facility, we are always looking to optimize the size, speed and reliability of our manufacturing machines. The CompactRIO platform provides the high speed determinism we need for efficient and precise component placement.

The new MoviMED AF 1501 frame grabber module enables us to integrate video feedback into the same platform and fully automate the entire process."

MoviMED AF 1501 Frame Grabber Module - Global Technology Development

"As a system integrator for custom robotics, LabVIEW with CompactRIO has become our core prototyping platform because it provides the versatility we need for a wide range of applications, from designing walking robots to high precision positioning systems. With the new MoviMED AF 1501 frame grabber module for CompactRIO, we can further improve our development process by adding vision to the same platform, creating an integrated system."

Machine Vision Meets National Instruments CompactRIO

Programmable ROI
9-bit ADC
“PSS” Progressive Skip Sampling
Hardware Accelerated Thresholding
-40 to 70 Degrees C

PSS - Progressive Skip Sampling

Pixel resolution is reduced to optimize frame rate. The resulting progressive image is ideal for motion sensitive applications.

Programmable ROI

User-configurable region of interest from 1 x 1 pixel to the entire frame size.

Hardware Accelerated Thresholding

Image thresholding at full frame rate using on-module hardware. Resulting binary image reduces processor load.

Speed Optimized Mode

Gray level bit depth is reduced from 8 bits per pixel to 4 bits per pixel. Resulting image transfer rate is doubled.

360 degree panoramic video with cRIO and AF-1501
We put together a pretty simple setup with an analog video camera pointing to a shiny and reflective Christmas decoration bulb. We recorded this video using the new AF-1501 framegrabber module for cRIO throug a National Instruments NI 9073 compact RIO. The software was coded in LabVIEW and took less than 5 minutes to put it together (NI Vision).
