February 8, 2013. Matrox Imaging, a supplier of machine-vision components to OEMs, machine builders, and integrators, will demonstrate new hardware and software for traceability, inspection, and guidance at ATX West exposition, held in conjunction with MD&M West, February 12-14 in Anaheim, CA.
Visitors to booth 4996 will see multiple Matrox Iris GT smart cameras being monitored and controlled remotely from a single HMI (human-machine interface) application, which is included with Matrox Design Assistant 3.0 smart-camera software. Design Assistant 3.0 is the latest release of the flowchart-based integrated development environment (IDE) for the Matrox Iris GT smart camera line, which makes it fast and easy for users to create their application's flowchart and HMI.
Design Assistant 3.0 simplifies and accelerates HMI design with ready-made operator view layouts. The analysis status step consolidates decision making and simplifies flowchart design, while filmstrip views ensure that previously analyzed images are close at hand. Release 3.0 also permits monitoring and controlling multiple smart cameras via a multicamera HMI application and provides support for PROFINET communication, which allows for direct interfacing to Siemens automation devices.
