How to choose a visual Industrial Computer?

Machine vision is a comprehensive technology, including image processing, mechanical engineering technology, control, electric light source lighting, optical imaging, sensors, analog and digital video technology, computer software and hardware technology. It converts the captured target into an image signal and transmits it to a special image processing system to obtain the morphological information of the captured target, thereby completing the detection work, in which the image processing is completed by an industrial computer.

Machine vision is used in manufacturing, mainly for appearance inspection, defect detection, etc. Different inspection requirements have different requirements for inspection equipment. But in the detection process, the image is acquired through CCD and video capture card, and analyzed and processed by industrial computer. In this process, the target object can be automatically photographed, recorded, stored and transmitted, which can greatly improve the intelligent process and efficiency of production automation.

Therefore, in a machine vision system, the performance of an industrial computer directly affects the processing speed and running time of the entire vision system, which is the key to the entire vision system. So, how to choose an industrial computer for machine vision?

The choice of industrial computer should pay attention to the following points:

1. Industrial Computer interface

Determine the number of cameras, light source controllers, and connection modes in the vision system. If the system has 8 cameras and 4 light sources need to be controlled, the cameras are connected through a network cable, and the light source controller is a 232 interface, then the number of network interfaces and serial ports of the industrial computer can be determined.

2. Industrial Computer configuration

The configuration of industrial computer mainly includes processor, memory, memory, software, etc. According to the size and installation environment of the industrial computer, select the processor to ensure the stable operation of the industrial computer. Determine the amount of memory for a given purpose. Some vision systems need to store images every time. If they run continuously every day, they will produce large memory images. At the same time, in order to speed up the processing speed and reduce current transformers, it is necessary to consider using solid-state hard drives instead of mechanical hard drives.

3. Installation method of Industrial Computer

According to the feasible installation methods, industrial computer can be divided into wall-mounted, rack-mounted, desktop and embedded. The industrial computer can be selected according to the use requirements and considering the wiring method, such as avoiding wiring difficulties such as front wiring and rear wiring.

4. The size of the Industrial Computer

Due to the space limitation of the test equipment, the size of the industrial computer is also affected. The installation size of ordinary industrial computers ranges from 1U to 7U in height; embedded industrial computers are small and light, with a width of only ten centimeters. Therefore, first choose the industrial computer product specifications according to the site installation size.

So at last,have you known How to choose a visual Industrial Computer?
