microEnable 5 ironman – Frame Grabbers in the Upper Performance Segment

The ironman frame grabbers are among the most powerful image acquisition and preprocessing boards in machine vision in all major industrial and application areas. The integrated FPGA features high parallel processing, low thermal power, and deterministic latencies. All frame grabbers are developed by our Mannheim, Germany office (formerly Silicon Software).

The me5 ironman is a high performance frame grabber equipped with an extensive internal memory of 1 or 2 GB for lossless image transfer. It features a powerful vision processor (Xilinx FPGA of the Virtex 6 series) and has a wide range of deployment options via an onboard GPIO using add-on trigger hardware. The power supply of the cameras is ensured by their power over functionality feature (Power over Camera Link and Power over CoaXPress). The programmable version allows implementation of complex algorithms for real-time image processing.

Your advantages at a glance

  • Fast installation and camera connection
  • Deployment of powerful FPGA technology
  • Support of Camera Link and CoaXPress (CXP-6) interfaces
  • Extended image preprocessing, such as debayering and shading and fixed pattern noise correction
  • Easy setup of multi-camera systems

  • Setup and synchronization of several frame grabbers using add-on trigger boards
  • Support for different sensor types (monochrome, color, area and line scan sensors)
  • Interference-free data transfer even over longer cable lengths
  • Robust industrial use with high MBTF values

The ironman Frame Grabbers – Bar surpassed

In the most demanding applications, they rush far ahead.

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

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
