Now with Profinet option
20 March 2015
In Addition to EtherNet/IP, EyeSens vision sensors by EVT now also support the field bus standard Profinet IO. This means they can communicate with both of the most common communication standards of industrial Ethernet.
With Profinet it is possible to create solutions for product engineering, process automation and building automation, as well as for drive and control technology or synchronous motion-control-applications.
For the EyeSens vision sensors conformity class A (CC-A) was used. This class makes a fast real time communication with a superordinated control possible. All functions of the discrete In- and Outputs (Trigger, handshake as well as all results) can be communicated via Profinet.
In big plants with numerous sensors and actuators in particular, the time and effort of installations are reduced considerably with Profinet; there is no need for the complex IO-cabling of every single sensor and the network integration is configured easily via drag-and-drop-function.
The EyeSens vision sensors contain specific EyeVision commands and are available for various applications such as OCR/OCV or barcode reading, object detection, pattern matching, measurement technology, color control, etc. The compact cameras are equipped with either lens and illumination or as C-Mount version.
