Datasheet

ADLINK Technology unveil the industry’s first compact Camera Link embedded vision system which features two independent Power over Camera Link ports, rich I/O capability, and a powerful 3rd Generation Intel Core i7/i5 quad core processor. The EOS-4000 is perfectly suited for speedy and accurate high-resolution performance supporting industrial automation and medical imaging environments.

The Intel 3rd gen quad-core processor delivers maximum computing power, while Camera Link connectivity provides image transmission with no CPU loading. Streaming raw image data over dedicated point-to-point link topology, the EOS-4000 offers no network latency or protocol overhead. The EOS-4000 also implements direct memory access solutions, rearranging data for efficiency. Supporting 64-bit memory addressing and RAID technology (dual SATA interface), the EOS-4000 executes transmission of image data from cameras to the system memory without utilising any CPU resources.

Enabling integration and deployment, the EOS-4000 features rich I/O capabilities including one encoder input, two trigger inputs, four RS-232/422/485 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, dual storage (two SATA interface, and one CFAST slot), an internal USB port, and 1 kbit programmable EEPROM. Further accelerating time-to-market, it provides management of copy protection and software license authentication for system development.

With 64 optocoupler isolated digital I/Os, the EOS-4000 supports software configurable digital filter function (0.25 μs-131 ms). Securing recognition of input signals carrying noise or chatter, this makes the EOS-4000 ideally suited for demanding industrial environments.

Providing a stable secure and high performance software operating environment, the EOS-4000 is offered with optional Microsoft Embedded Standard 7, File-Based Write Filter, and thread-safe I/O function. The CamCreator utility is included to enable setup, configuration, testing, and system debugging with no software programming requirement. The EOS-4000 is ideally suited for embedded vision in high-speed and large image machine vision applications. It combines increased computing power with multi-channel connectivity and a ready-to-deploy application platform.
