Zebra Indio Accessory Model Overview
Zebra® Indio provides the industrial I/O and communication capabilities to turn any PC running Aurora Imaging Vision software into a genuine vision controller. It provides discrete inputs and outputs managed in hardware for the real-time synchronization of a vision application with automation devices. It also provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for interfacing with programmable logic/automation controllers or GigE Vision® cameras equipped for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Real-time synchronization
Zebra Indio delivers real-time I/O management through a dedicated hardware-assisted mechanism. The mechanism enables output events to occur at precise moments in time, based on elapsed time, or specific input events. An input event can come directly from a discrete input—including from a rotary encoder—or a count derived from a discrete input. Programmed output events are stored in a hardware list, which is traversed based on a clock or an input event. The carrying out of an output event results in a state transition, pulse, or pulse train on a specific discrete output. Multiple cascadable hardware timers are available to count or generate specific events.
Industrial Ethernet or GigE Vision
Zebra Indio also makes available a Gigabit Ethernet port through a standard RJ45 connector for industrial networking using the EtherNet/ IP™, Modbus®, and PROFINET® protocols. PROFINET communication is hardware-assisted to ensure timely response. The Gigabit Ethernet port can alternatively connect to a GigE Vision camera and power it by way of PoE support.
Facilitate computer integration with a PCIe® x1 interface
Benefit from real-time synchronization with 16 discrete digital I/Os. Get straightforward access to I/Os via standard D-Sub connector. Support factory-floor and lab use with 24 V and TTL-compatible signaling. Protect against unintended use with optical isolation and resettable fuses. Track moving production lines with support for two rotary incremental encoders. Use status indicator LED for each I/O to assist with integration troubleshooting. Leverage Gigabit Ethernet port for industrial communication or video capture using GigE Vision. Use with Aurora Design Assistant, formerly Matrox Design Assistant (DA) and Aurora Imaging Library, formerly Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), vision software.
