Overview
The NI Embedded Vision System is a rugged automation controller that combines
industrial camera connectivity with open communication and multicore performance.
The NI EVS-1464RT is designed to acquire and process images in real time
from multiple IEEE 1394 and GigE Vision cameras, and is ideal for machine
vision applications such as high-speed sorting, assembly verification, and
packaging inspection.
The NI Embedded Vision System offers a fanless design, extended
temperature range, real-time operating system, and solid-state drive, making
it ready for demanding manufacturing conditions by reducing maintenance
requirements with no moving parts and increasing reliability.
A diverse range of digital I/O and industrial communication options means
that the EVS-1464RT can communicate and integrate with a wide variety of
automation devices including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human
machine interfaces (HMIs), robotics, sensors, and actuators. The fast multicore
processor and real-time OS make this vision system ideal for more complex,
higher-speed inspections.
Camera Selection and Multicamera Support
The NI Embedded Vision System works with any IIDC-compliant IEEE 1394
camera and any GigE Vision-compliant Ethernet camera. National Instruments
has developed the first real-time driver software for communicating, configuring,
and acquiring images from both IEEE 1394 and GigE Vision cameras in realtime.
The system provides a low-cost way to simultaneously acquire and process
images from several cameras to inspect parts from multiple angles, increase
overall system resolution, and use several specialty cameras at once (color,
monochrome, infrared, line scan, and so on). With dual IEEE 1394b and Gigabit
Ethernet ports, you can simultaneously power and acquire from up to four
IEEE 1394a and b cameras and connect as many GigE Vision cameras as the
bandwidth permits. You can expand beyond the number of ports using hubs
and external power sources for additional cameras. To find a complete list of
cameras, visit the NI Camera Advisor at
ni.com/camera.
Rugged Industrial Design
The NI Embedded Vision System was designed for harsh industrial environments.
The absence of moving parts make this machine vision system less susceptible
to damage from ambient vibration, reducing maintenance requirements and
making it a reliable addition to your packaging, assembly, and manufacturing
environments. The EVS-1464RT runs with a 1 GB solid-state drive, which can be
expanded with CompactFlash storage for logging images and data, as well as
external IEEE 1394 hard drives and USB mass storage devices. It is also cooled
by convection, and the temperature range of 0 to 45 °C ensures that uptime is
kept at a maximum.
Multicore Image Processing
With NI LabVIEW and NI vision software, the NI Embedded Vision System
takes full advantage of its multicore processor by automatically balancing
the computational load on each core. Machine vision applications can run
deterministically and reliably with LabVIEW Real-Time Module software, which
you can use to achieve low-level control for prioritizing crucial tasks, such as
image processing, over less time-critical tasks such as video display.

Figure 1. NI EVS-1464RT Connectivity Options
Industrial Communication and
Onboard Digital I/O
The EVS-1464RT has 29 reconfigurable digital I/O lines – TTL and isolated. These
lines feature built-in functionality for communicating with external devices,
such as reading from a quadrature encoder, generating strobe pulses, triggering,
and writing/reading from digital lines. Using these signals, you can dynamically
control your lighting or cameras, synchronize with a conveyor belt, drive
mechanisms for sorting parts or integrate the NI Embedded Vision System
with PLCs.
In addition, you can use the system to send commands and data to other
devices, such as PLCs and operator interfaces, using Ethernet protocols such as
TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP, as well as serial protocols such as RS232 and
Modbus serial. With enterprise connectivity, you can also monitor the inspection
results, view images, or store data in databases for statistical process control.
Real-Time Display and HMI
The EVS-1464RT outputs real-time images and pass/fail results from the
inspection through the built-in DVI port. All of the image overlays are user-
definable and can be changed programmatically to create custom user displays.
Also, a simple Web browser on any Windows CE, XP, or XP Embedded touch
panel can act as an operator interface for selecting inspections, updating
parameters, or training a new part. In addition to being a Web server, the
EVS-1464RT can be configured in LabVIEW to host Web services to stream data.
Software Scalability
National Instruments uses the same configuration software (Vision Builder for
Automated Inspection) and programming software (Vision Development Module)
across the NI vision hardware portfolio. This means that after learning just one
set of vision software, you can easily reduce time and costs to maintain your
systems or build new applications while enjoying the freedom to choose the
suitable hardware for each application, be it a PC, an NI Embedded Vision System,
or an NI Smart Camera. All NI vision software comes with NI Vision Acquisition
Software, a collection of drivers for IEEE 1394 and GigE cameras that scales to
support a larger range of camera types for use with other NI vision hardware.
Customized I/O with LabVIEW FPGA
The EVS-1464RT features a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) directly
connected to the digital I/O lines. If your application requires custom I/O
behavior, you can use LabVIEW FPGA to reconfigure the digital I/O lines to
achieve additional I/O functionality such as custom triggers, timing, PWM
outputs, encoder-based queued pulse generators, customer digital protocols
and high-speed counters.
The LabVIEW FPGA IPNet site (ni.com/ipnet) hosts a collection of existing
FPGA examples and intellectual property (IP) from National Instruments
developers and external users in the LabVIEW FPGA community that you can
use with your real-time NI Embedded Vision System.

Real-Time Embedded Vision System
NI Vision Software
Configure or Program Your Inspection
With the National Instruments machine vision software approach, you can
configure your inspection with easy-to-use, stand-alone NI Vision Builder for
Automated Inspection software or program it for more advanced customization
using the NI Vision Development Module. Both options feature hundreds of
built-in machine vision and image processing functions you can use to enhance
images, check for presence, locate features, identify objects, and measure parts.
Figure 2. You can configure the EVS-1464RT using Vision Builder AI or
program the system using the Vision Development Module.
Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) simplifies the development and
maintenance process by replacing programming complexity with an interactive
development environment, without sacrificing performance or range of functionality.
With Vision Builder AI, you can easily configure, benchmark, and deploy a vision
system that addresses most vision applications from pattern matching to code
reading and presence detection to precision alignment and classification.
Vision Builder AI includes a deployment interface for quick deployment and
features the ability to set up complex pass/fail decisions to control digital I/O
devices and communicate with serial or Ethernet devices such as programmable
automation controllers (PACs), PLCs, and HMIs.
LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle
The LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle is an addition to LabVIEW
that includes all the software you need to program all your real-time machine
vision applications for the NI Embedded Vision System. The bundle includes:
◾
◾
Vision Development Module
◾
◾
LabVIEW Real-Time Module
◾
◾
LabVIEW Application Builder
With the Vision Development Module, you have complete freedom to build
highly customized real-time machine vision applications using the LabVIEW
graphical programming environment. You also have the option to develop your
own custom image processing algorithms, optimize your inspection for speed, or
take advantage of the large choice of toolkits or add-ons that complement the
LabVIEW environment, such as LabVIEW FPGA.
Using LabVIEW graphical programming, you can develop your machine
vision applications on a desktop PC and then download the program to run on
the real-time NI Embedded Vision System. Thus, you can use all the powerful
development tools of LabVIEW to develop deterministic, reliable solutions.
The Vision Development Module also includes NI Vision Assistant, an
interactive prototyping environment that generates ready-to-run code.
Dynamic Execution
For inspections that require complex decisions, conditional branches, or iterative
loops, Vision Builder AI offers an innovative state diagram process model. In
this model, you configure each state to perform a certain series of actions from
acquiring images to gauging a part to communicating with external devices. The
results of these steps determine which transition path you take to the next state.
By using state diagrams, you can create seemingly complex machine vision
applications that provide the flexibility of a programming language with the ease
of use of a configuration environment. State diagrams are not only an intuitive
way to represent machine vision applications but also a self-documenting
method that is easy to share among colleagues.
