General purpose I/O lines

Compatible with a wide range of sensors and motion encoders.

High-speed differential inputs: Quadrature motion encoder support up to 5 MHz.

Isolated current-sense inputs: 5V, 12V, 24V signaling voltages accepted, up to 50 kHz, individual galvanic isolation up to

500VAC RMS.

Isolated contact outputs.

High-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs/ LVTTL outputs.

High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

Direct transfer into user-allocated memory

Hardware scatter-gather support

64-bit addressing capability

Area-scan triggering capabilities

A trigger is used to start the acquisition when the part is in position. Hardware triggers come from the Coaxlink’s I/O lines.

Software triggers come from the application.

An optional trigger delay is available to postpone the acquisition for a programmable time.

A trigger decimation function allows to skip some of the triggers.

Camera exposure control allows the application to control the exposure time of the camera.

When the acquisition starts, at the appropriate timing, the Coaxlink board generates a signal to control an illumination device

connected to one of its output lines.
