Description
The Part Number 787314-01 identifies a specific Frame Grabber model, the PXIe-8246. This model is described as a CCA, PXIe 4 Port GIG-E Network Interface Card, designed to enhance connectivity and data acquisition capabilities. It features 4 GigE ports, enabling high-speed data transfer and communication with multiple devices simultaneously.
One of the key features of the PXIe-8246 is its support for Power Over Ethernet (PoE). This allows the card to deliver power to connected devices over the Ethernet cable, simplifying wiring and reducing the need for additional power supplies. This model is compatible with both Camera Link and GigE Vision cameras, offering versatility in connecting different types of imaging devices for a wide range of applications.
Regarding software compatibility, the PXIe-8246 works seamlessly with the NI Vision Development Module and NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI). These software tools provide advanced vision analysis and processing capabilities, making it easier to develop and deploy complex vision-based inspection systems.
The card also includes PoE Status LED Indicators to provide immediate visual feedback on the operational status. The LEDs display Red for PoE protection, Green when PoE is operational, and remain Unlit when PoE is not powered. Additionally, the Ethernet Status LEDs indicate network activity and connection speed, with the Activity/Link LED and Ethernet speed status LED providing real-time network status information.
For connection speed, the Link Speed Indication uses an intuitive color-coding system: Unlit indicates no link or a connection speed of 10 Mbps, Green signifies a 100 Mbps connection, and Amber denotes a speed of 1,000 Mbps. This feature makes it easy to verify the connection speed at a glance, ensuring optimal performance and troubleshooting network issues more effectively.
