Software for product development

- Programmable to IEC 61131-3 with CODESYS - Robust metal housing for surface or panel mounting - High-performance CAN interface for various communication tasks - E1 type approval by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (German Federal Motor Transport Authority) Cameras for mobile applications and 3D sensors are used to monitor blind spots around mobile machines and commercial vehicles. They can be directly connected to graphic dialogue modules with colour display or to control systems. The cameras are enclosed in a sturdy metal housing rated IP 69K so that they can be mounted outside of the vehicle or machine. The units offer increased EMC levels and hold an e1 type approval. Applications include rear area and blind spot monitoring on construction machines, agricultural machinery and municipal vehicles.

- Visual assessment of distance, level or volume - Reliable function due to time-of-flight measurement - Illumination, measurement and evaluation in one unit - Output of distance and grey values - Integration by means of intuitive parameter setting software The 3D camera detects scenes and objects in their spatial dimensions at a glance. In contrast to laser scanners it does not require moving components and so is robust and wear-free. It measures the distance between the sensor and the nearest surface point by point using the time-of-flight principle. The sensor illuminates the scene with an internal infrared light source and calculates the distance by means of the light reflected from the surface. Applications can be found in such areas as packaging, storage and materials handling, airport logistics, collision avoidance, robotics, monitoring of space and persons. If the camera is integrated into a machine, the measured data can be evaluated with common image processing libraries. A software development kit with code samples is available in different programming languages.

- Can be used on common Windows PCs - Easy networking via CAN bus - User-friendly configuration of AS-i masters and slaves - Intuitive, user-friendly handling In machines, installations and mobile machinery software is indispensable. Therefore it is necessary for the user to have compatible and easy-to-use programs for software creation, parameter setting and remote maintenance. The programming tools to IEC 61131-3 provide the programmer with a variety of programming languages for fast project implementation and management. A powerful visualisation module for graphic visualisation of machine and installation functions completes the package.
