USB 3.0 Interface Cards for Seamless Vision Systems

With the USB 3.0 interface cards with 2 or 4 ports, you no longer have to worry about faulty drivers or operating system updates. Frequently occurring problems are also a thing of the past, such as when the PC's host controller has already been occupied with additional peripherals, and conflicts occur on the data bus, which in turn lead to data errors or image loss. Furthermore, our vision components are available on the market longer than the chipsets used in common PCs.

USB interface card overview:

  • USB 3.0 interface cards with 2 or 4 ports
  • Ensure a stable vision system
  • USB 3.0 camera and interface card plus components and software from a single source - for optimized system design
  • Easy installation (plug-and-play) of camera and interface card through pylon Camera Software Suite (SDK)
  • Reduced system complexity and cost
  • Attractive price packages consisting of camera plus interface card

Select a suitable interface card directly for your camera, as well as additional components such as matching lenses and cables - you get them all from us! We simplify the component selection, reduce your testing effort and accelerate the integration.

USB 3.0 Interface Cards – Running like clockwork

Leverage our full-featured USB 3.0 portfolio in your next vision project.

Tips for the selection of compatible PC cards:

  • If the on-board host controller of the PC is already occupied by a peripheral, dedicated PC cards are recommended to avoid malfunctions.
  • Use tested and approved drivers from the manufacturer.
  • Dedicated chipsets on PC cards can save computational power.
  • Some PC cards can supply the camera directly with electricity. This eliminates additional cables and possibly power adapters.

microDisplay X

microDisplay X

During the activation of frame grabbers, microDisplay X helps you test the entire system configuration, select and parameterize applets and perform camera settings.

  • Configure cameras (GenICam) and applets directly in the start window and save or access the configuration
  • Load multiple applets (one applet per board)
  • Enlarge DMA (Direct Memory Access) output window for a large-scale display of an individual DMA output
  • Optimized accuracy of the frame rate information (frames per second) during the acquisition
  • Easy setup of line scan camera systems with line profile and line histogram (provide information on individual pixel values and the distribution of a line)
  • Buffer assigned in applet but not used (if the image section transferred by the camera is too small) is displayed in red in the DMA output window
  • New log window to access general and camera discovery log information, grabber events and system status information at any time

microDiagnostics

microDiagnostics

microDiagnostics makes it possible to flash a frame grabber with applets and perform various tests for a successful activation

  • Support with the speedy activation of the frame grabber
  • Test functions simplify an overview of the full system’s functionality
  • Simple camera change by selecting and flashing another applet

SDKs

SDKs

The Software Development Kit (SDK) is an easy way to integrate a frame grabber and camera into the customer’s application while using complex trigger settings, particularly the microEnable frame grabber function, to their full extent. A generic application programming interface (API) enables platform-independent work. Of course, the SDK also helps system builders develop their own C/C++/C# or Python applications.

  • Quick and easy integration of frame grabbers into your application and software environment
  • Flexible for the use of different programming languages (C++, C#, Python)
  • Reduced development times for projects

VisualApplets Expert

VisualApplets Expert

Experienced users have the option of applying existing hardware code, debugging the design under runtime conditions and creating paths to parameters in hierarchical structures.

  • With the custom library, system builders apply their image processing modules programmed in VHDL or Verilog (VHDL libraries) in VisualApplets as generic operators, thus preserving their preparatory work.
  • The debugging library enables enhanced debugging to detect programming errors, deadlocks and bandwidth problems and to increase the design stability.
  • The parameters library offers users tools to change even those parameters that might be deeply embedded in the design’s hierarchical structures. The changes are automatically and consistently updated during the runtime.

VisualApplets Libraries

VisualApplets Libraries

VisualApplets libraries comprise multiple operator libraries which expand the operators’ scope with valuable image processing functions, such as those for segmentation, classification and compression.

  • Segmentation/classification: These operators are used to segment and define objects in images and assign characteristics to them.
  • Compression: The JPEG operator makes it possible to execute the JPEG image compression directly on the FPGA of the vision hardware to reduce image data.

VisualApplets Protection

VisualApplets Protection

To prevent the use of proprietary applets on external frame grabbers and thus protect intellectual property from outside access, the applets and frame grabbers can each be securely encoded with a lock.

  • Applets and frame grabbers are each securely encoded with a lock.
  • Two protective mechanisms guarantee maximum security.
