National Instruments has released the NI PCIe-8236 and NI PCIe-8237R two-port GigE Vision frame grabbers featuring PoE technology.
The NI PCIe-8237R features NI LabView FPGA-enabled I/O, including isolated digital inputs and outputs. It also incorporates bidirectional TTL lines for implementing custom counters, PWM signals and quadrature encoder inputs. It offers advanced triggering and synchronisation options, such as a low-jitter, low-latency FPGA-based network trigger as well as RTSI synchronisation bus support.
Both frame grabbers are fully compliant with isolation specifications in the PoE standard to provide additional safety for the vision system and its operators. They can also interface with the latest low-cost PoE cameras on the market as well as non-PoE GigE Vision cameras with cable lengths up to 100m.
