ADLINK Launches EOS-1200 Embedded Vision System

January 12, 2012. ADLINK Technology Inc. has announced the release of the EOS-1200 Gigabit PoE embedded vision system, which incorporates the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core processor. The system provides four independent Gigabit PoE (power over Ethernet) ports with data transfer rates up to 4.0 Gbps.
 
The EOS-1200 supports IEEE 1588 precision time protocol, enabling multi-camera synchronized image acquisition via a software trigger mode. Combining IEEE 1588 and PoE support allows a single Ethernet cable to deliver power supply, data transfer, and data synchronization, thereby reducing cabling requirements while decreasing maintenance burdens and total cost of ownership. Users can program power status to boost energy efficiency when cameras are idle. The EOS-1200 also provides auto-detection to ensure compatibility with both PoE and conventional non-PoE devices.
 
“The GigE Vision standard has been widely adopted as mainstream technology in the machine-vision industry. The EOS-1200 is fully compatible with GigE Vision cameras and GigE Vision analysis software, meaning that customers benefit significantly by its time-to-market and ease-of-deployment advantages, with no compatibility concerns,” said Neil Chen, product manager of digital imaging at ADLINK.
 
The EOS-1200 features four serial ports, two USB 3.0 ports, 32 PNP/NPN isolated digital I/Os, two SATA interfaces, and one CFAST slot.  Driver support is provided for Windows 7/XP and Embedded standard 7, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. List prices start at $1885.
