Titles and results of numerical calculations and judgment outputs can be

displayed on the inspection screen. You can register your own text for

display, and change the maximum and minimum limits for numerical

calculations directly from the menu.

Convenient new display function

Data Monitor Function

When using two cameras simultaneously for an

operation such as measuring the distance

between two points, you can use an external

signal to switch the display. It is also possible

to split images captured by two cameras for

display as one image on the screen. You can

select either vertical or horizontal for the image

split direction.

Two-image switch/split function (A210 only)

With the A series, we introduced a progressive double-speed random

camera that provides 3 times the maximum ratio of conventional units with

1/60 second for a high-quality picture and no image degradation. In field

mode, it reaches 4 times for 1/120 second. The result is fast inspection

without having to worry about inspection time or image quality.

Up to eight graphics (circles, ellipses, rectangles and lines) can be displayed

on the inspection screen. This is very convenient when performing manual

positioning for camera adjustment with production equipment.

A Series

The A Series can connect to a range of PLCs without a communication

program. In addition to the Matsushita Electric Works PLC-FP Series, it can

be used with PLC products from Mitsubishi, Omron, and Allen-Bradley

(Ver. 2.2 or later).

The A Series can perform type switching data communication and read and

write measurement data and inspection results to and from PLCs without

requiring that you create a communication program.

Speed and precision (Strongest in its class)

Reduced size (Smallest in its class)

With a small 120

× 40mm footprint, installation is simple. Tight installation

with checkers next to each other is also possible. With considerations for

wiring, connectors, and removable terminal blocks, installation with all

units facing one direction is possible for no wasted space.

Installation on DIN rails is also possible.

We offer true cost performance and wipe away the concept that image

processing is expensive.

Internal synchronous signal inspection

Compatible with the internal synchronous signal of NTSC, video scopes and

special cameras can also be used. However, depending on the model, some

may not be able to be connected. Consult your Matsushita Electric Works

representative (there is one connection port).

The A series comes equipped with a 32-bit RISC, 200

MHz CPU with pipeline processing.

It attains 360 MIPS and 1.4 GFLOPS for astronomically

high-speed processing. With the super-

quick CPU, increased floating point

operation speed, pipeline processing,

specially designed algorithms, and a

large memory capacity, it achieves not

only extremely high-speed inspection,

but also the ultimate in precision as

well.
