DevKit shortens development time of machine vision systems

In recent years, for the development of industrial equipment, such as production facilities and inspection equipment, the flexible support of multiple industrial networks and high system performance is required to further support the enhancement of data throughput via networked equipment. More than ever before, more complicated and high-performance system development with minimum risks and reduced costs is required. 

The TB-7Z-IAE, is offered with a compact 60×85mm design, and provides high performance and high reliability, assured by various environmental tests for mass production. The SoM is equipped with both the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC and 2ch Gigabit Ethernet, and can support industrial network protocols without changing board design, even when such protocols are revised. In addition, as it is equipped with industrial grade devices that support an enhanced operation temperature range, the TB-7Z-IAE can flexibly accommodate a wide range of applications.

By using a higher quality mass-production board with the TB-7Z-ISDK evaluation environment, customers can shorten the time it takes to get their products to market with drastically reduced costs.

The DevKit is offered with reference designs which enable the construction of a machine vision system without using a PC. Sample images imported to the TB-7Z-ISDK from a compatible camera are also supplied. The user can start the development of Zynq PS software or Zynq PL logic from the image-processing stage, thus shortening development time.

The TB-7Z-ISDK DevKit will be available from April 2015.
