The BOA NEXUS Smart Bridge is a complementary device for BOA smart cameras, and works with existing BOA camera systems to expand their information sharing capabilities.
It allows users to quickly realize a runtime monitoring system that will display inspection images and application specific information from multiple BOA cameras. The operator interface can be displayed on a standard monitor using the BOA NEXUS hardware, thus eliminating the need for expensive HMIs. BOA NEXUS offers a convenient means to setup and maintain BOA cameras online and supports methods to collect and share information between cameras, system components and the factory enterprise.
BOA NEXUS is equipped with low power, dual core processor to effectively manage communication between BOA cameras, display and other system resources. Each of the six (6) Gigabit compliant Ethernet ports internally connect through independent data lanes to alleviate bandwidth bottlenecks. Network ports can be configured for isolated or bridged system configurations and each can be expanded using external switches to accommodate larger camera installations.
In addition to Ethernet, BOA NEXUS provides standard external interfaces for system integration, including display, 3 USB ports and an RS-232 serial port. The display port is compatible with standard monitors and capable of supporting resolutions up to 2048x1536.
Built-in software automatically discovers BOA cameras on the network (either directly or indirectly via Ethernet switches) and helps manage any IP address and firmware version conflicts. The NEXUS software interface provides easy access to setup, maintenance and operational features of the BOA INS and IDR cameras. BOA PRO users can setup cameras using client software installed on the device and utilize prebuilt Win32 compatible operator interfaces customized for their application needs.
