Now, an even-smarter, self-contained
camera-and-software combo offer a single-point solution
Combining the robustness
of Teledyne DALSA's highly-integrated BOA
Smart Camera with the flexibility of Teledyne DALSA's
advanced, already-installed Sherlock
Inspection Software, offers a single-point solution
with uncompromised design flexibility and integration resources.
The Teledyne Dalsa BOA smart camera has defined a new standard for
industrial smart cameras and has made deep penetration into the industrial
and factory automation vision markets. Released over a year ago the
BOA was supplied with the easy-to-use iNspect Express point and click
vision software. Now with a significantly faster hardware engine the
BOA Pro offers unsurpassed power and flexibility with Sherlock in
a compact, robust smart camera package. The BOA smart camera series
is now offered with a range of sensor resolutions, performance grades
and software to accommodate the needs of both the application and
the user.
The Sherlock embedded software is setup via a local
PC connection to BOA using an Ethernet connection. During development,
images from the camera are fed directly to the Sherlock GUI and commands
from the program are executed directly on the cameras. This methodology
optomises the user-design experience while providing an accurate representation
of runtime performance.
Once configured for runtime, the Ethernet link can be disconnected
or used to communicate with other devices on the factory floor, such
as PLCs, Robots and HMIs. In addition to Ethernet, BOA Pro cameras
provide direct connections for RS-232 serial, discrete I/O and lamp
control. BOA Pro cameras are supported by various hardware and software
accessories to simplify factory integration. |

About the Sherlock
interface: Extensive Library of Instructions, Preprocessors and Advanced
Algorithms
Sherlock's wide-ranging capabilities allow
users to standarize on a machine vision software interface that can satisfy
users' current and future inspection needs. Sherlock provides a comprehensive
set of vision tools and functionality that can be deployed across all
industries. The software's extensive library of instructions, preprocessors
and advanced algorithms can be combined in a flexible programmatic method
using point and click to solve from simple tovery demanding tasks. Maximum
design flexibility is provided to allow users to customise algorithms,
construct scripts and develop operator interfaces.
The Sherlock setup interface to BOA Pro is installed on a PC. During development,
images from the camera are fed directly to the Sherlock GUI and commands
from the program are executed directly on the camera. This methodology
optimizes the user-design experience while providing an accurate representation
of runtime performance. A secondary interface is available through a standard
web browser for device setup, runtime monitoring and firmware updating.
