5 processors
|
|
The PV500's amazing performance is a result of five processors sharing processing tasks and computing data simultaneously. Whilst a special custom-made ASIC receives and pre-processes the image data, two digital signal processors (DSPs) synchronously take care for the calculation-intense tasks. The separate graphics accelerator allows the synchronous image display and image output (e.g. via Ethernet). An additional 32bit RISC CPU controls and administers all processes.

Quad-speed camera
|
|
Not only the impressive processing speed of the PV500 controller, but also our newly developed quad-speed cameras contribute to the overall high system performance. They operate with four times the transfer rate of a conventional CCD camera. This results in an image transfer time of only 8ms instead of 33ms for a standard camera. The speed can be increased even further if only partial images are transferred. In this case, the transfer time decreases to 2ms (see also partial imaging).

Partial imaging
|
|
Quite often, only certain parts of an image are relevant for the quality judgment of the product. In such cases, the digital cameras of PV500 are just ideal since they allow you to transfer only selected parts of the total image to the controller for inspection. This reduces the transfer time to 2ms, which equals max. 30,000 partial images per minute. Up to two image parts can be defined for each camera individually.

Pipeline processing

|
The dedicated hardware architecture of the PV500 allows real pipeline processing. This makes it possible to perform image grabbing and processing in parallel. With this feature, the total inspection time can be shortened significantly.
