FAQs on Machine Vision Controllers

The machine vision controller is an analysis module for data processing and result output. It is equipped with uniVision image processing software and various interfaces for flexible communication with higher-level controls.

More about machine vision controller technology

Machine vison cameras and 2D/3D profile sensors can be connected to the controller. Up to 16 devices can be freely combined.

Up to 16 devices can be connected to the machine vision controller simultaneously.

The machine vision controllers are available in two variants. The following interfaces are available depending on the equipment variant:

• RTE (Real Time Ethernet)
  • PROFINET
  • EtherNet/IP
  • EtherCAT
• Ethernet TCP/IP
• UDP
• Digital I/O
• SFTP

Depending on the variant, the machine vision controller is equipped with the following license packages:

• uniVision
• uniVision Extended
• uniVision Script
• uniVision Robotics

uniVision image processing software

The scope of functions of the machine vision controller can be expanded at any time with the help of license-based upgrades.

The machine vision controller is maintenance-free, so no additional care and maintenance measures or intervals need to be observed.

Mounting brackets for wall fastening are included in the scope of delivery.

No, the machine vision controller can only be used with the pre-installed wenglor uniVision image processing software.

The machine vision controller has a higher performance and is particularly suitable for fast applications or when multiple devices (machine vision cameras and 2D/3D profile sensors) are required for one application. In the case of a smart device, the image and profile evaluation takes place on the device itself.

A wenglor-specific Linux operating system is installed on the machine vision controller.
