M-Series Embedded Vision System Supports Power over Ethernet

PPT Vision's IMPACT M-Series Embedded VisionSystem has Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and uses standard CAT 5 Ethernetcables. System cameras are powered from the embedded M40 processor-eliminating theneed for a separate computer for programming and processing and individual dataand power cables. PPT Vision says the limited cable wiring decreasesinstallation and wiring expenses, while providing a more clear and safeworkspace for operators and equipment. PoE allows for increased systemflexibility with the ability to install virtually anywhere, allowing devices tobe located at distances over 100 m from a power supply.

Using uninterrupted power supply (UPS), PoE offers the availability of theIMPACT M-Series cameras operating on the M40 processor. This combination allowscontinuous operation, eliminating power interruptions and system downtime.

The IMPACT M-Series Embedded VisionSystem allows up to four M-Series Smart Cameras to perform independentasynchronously-triggered inspections, eliminating the need to purchase andinstall multiple cameras.

The IMPACT M-Series is useful in manufacturing industries such aselectronics, pharmaceutical, and medical devices to consumer products andautomotive. Typical applications include inspecting electronic connectors,correct part seating during die stamping and detection of fill level and capposition on bottles.
