October 20, 2011 – Teledyne DALSA, announces BOA Pro, which combines a highly integrated BOA smart camera with Sherlock inspection software, resulting in a compact industrial vision solution with diverse applicability across all manufacturing industries. BOA Pro applications are configured through a web browser via a standard Ethernet interface. During development, images from the camera are fed directly to the Sherlock GUI and commands from the program are executed directly on the camera. This methodology optimizes the user design experience while providing an accurate representation of runtime performance. A secondary interface is available through a standard web browser for device setup, runtime monitoring, and firmware updating.
At runtime, BOA Pro runs autonomously and can be disconnected from the PC.
Features and Benefits
- Advanced interface offers maximum design flexibility
- Field-proven tool set suits most applications
- JavaScript based scripting tool
- Flexible industrial communications
- Support for custom operator interfaces
- Full-featured off-line emulator
- Tiny form factor ideal for tight-fit applications
- IP67 Enclosure withstands harsh environments
Teledyne DALSA’s Sherlock inspection software provides a comprehensive set of vision tools and capabilities that can be applied to applications across all industries. Sherlock’s extensive library of instructions, preprocessors and advanced algorithms can be combined in a variety of ways to solve simple or very demanding tasks. Maximum design flexibility is provided to allow users to customize algorithms, construct scripts and develop operator interfaces. “Sherlock’s wide-ranging capabilities allow users to standardize on a machine vision software interface that can satisfy their current and future inspection needs,” said Steve Geraghty, Director of Teledyne DALSA Industrial Products.
“Embedding Sherlock inside our BOA smart camera offers a single-point solution with uncompromised design flexibility and integration resources.”
