Compliance Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference Regulations Determining FCC Class The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only) or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products. Depending on where it

Chapter 1 Introduction LabVIEW VI creation wizard, Vision Assistant can create LabVIEW VI diagrams that perform the prototype you created in Vision Assistant. You can then use LabVIEW to add functionality to the generated VI. IEEE 1394 and NI 8254R ® The NI 8254R uses FireWire (IEEE 1394) technology. FireWire is a cross-platform implementation of the high-speed serial data bus—defined by the IEEE 1394-1995 and IEEE 1394a-2000 standards—that can move large amounts of data between computers a

2 Hardware Overview Digital I/O The digital I/O functions on the NI 8254R are accessible through 2 TTL inputs, 10 TTL outputs, 13 isolated inputs, and 4 isolated outputs. You can use input signals as triggers, product selection ports, change detectors, or to read quadrature encoders. Uses for output signals include controlling camera reset and exposure, controlling strobe lighting, outputting inspection results, or communicating with PLCs. You can also define the functions of digital input

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview Using National Instruments RIO hardware and the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can define your hardware without in-depth knowledge of hardware design tools or hardware description languages (HDL). When the signal requirements change, the LabVIEW code can be modified and downloaded to the FPGA to change the I/O mix or type. This flexibility allows you to reuse the same hardware and software at no extra expense. NI-IMAQ I/O devices such as the such as the NI 8254R, the N

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview Trigger Inputs Trigger inputs are available from both TTL inputs and isolated inputs. You can use these trigger inputs to synchronize the NI 8254R with an external event, such as the assertion of a signal generated by a proximity sensor or a PLC, to indicate that an inspection item is passing in front of the camera. The NI 8254R uses this input to initiate a timed pulse that can be used for camera control, lighting control, encoder pulse counting, and result outp

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview If the trigger input is set to Immediate in LabVIEW or using a None status signal in C and Visual Basic, the pulse generation occurs as soon as the pulse mode is set to Start in LabVIEW or imaqIOPulseStart in C and Visual Basic. After generating a pulse, it immediately generates another pulse until the pulse generation is stopped. If the trigger input is set to one of the hardware trigger inputs, the timed pulse output waits for an assertion edge on the appropri

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview Pulse Width Pulse width is the amount of time between the first (assertion) edge of a pulse and the second (deassertion) edge. Pulse width is configurable only in microseconds from 1 µs to 4,294,967,295 µs. Trigger Polarity Each pulse generator can be individually configured for rising or falling edge triggering. Even if multiple pulse generators are using the same trigger, each can have different polarities. Figure 2-2 shows the output of a pulse generator config

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview Trigger Change Detectors The NI 8254R is capable of detecting edges on various trigger lines and latching this information for future retrieval. This feature is useful for high-precision hardware-monitoring of the presence of external events without the need for software polling. You can arm for the detection of a rising edge, falling edge, or both on a supported trigger input line. Supported trigger input lines include TTL Input 0, TTL Input 1, ISO Input 8, ISO

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview Based on the input to the product selection port, you can configure the application software to run the appropriate inspection sequence. For example, an upstream NI 8254R programmed for part classification might drive the product selection port of a downstream NI 8254R. Alternatively, a PLC with information about which part is being inspected can drive the product selection port of the NI 8254R. Using ISO Input 5 as a Latch You can configure the product selection
