BOA200 Smart Camera series Go to Teledyne Dalsa Cameras Go to Smart Cameras Go to Vision Systems

With an emphasis on versatility and flexibility, the BOA200 vision system comes in three software-defined models, in a range of resolutions for both monochrome and colour applications and with three performance options. All three software packages include a comprehensive suite of tools and capabilities as well as support for standard factory protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus and ProfiNet.

Aimed at increasing productivity, this easy-to-use and inexpensive vision system is built with the best in engineering design and manufacturing expertise, and offers scalable vision solutions to satisfy a wide range of application needs from positioning robotic handlers to complete assembly verifications. Packaged in a small, rugged enclosure, the BOA200 fits easily into existing production lines, machinery or moving equipment.

Designed and ruggedized for harsh environment factory floor deployment, BOA200 is an all-in-one intelligent vision system with an easy web browser set up and remotely monitored via Ethernet cable.

The Boa application setup does not assume programming or machine vision knowledge.

The BOA200 IDR - for identification and validation applications embedded with a relevant-to-task sub-set of iNspect Express software
Identifies and reports
BOA IDR is an image-based identification and verification camera that allows manufacturers to identify, automatically, parts for traceability and error proofing. A highly-integrated solution, the BOA IDR offers product identification and tracking for high speed applications in automotive, consumer products, electronics, packaging and pharmaceutical industries.

The IDR version is offered with a subset of iNspect Express tools that applies only to identification, tracking and associated verification applications and is a good choice for manufacturers who need to inspect product markings for correctness or traceability. BOA IDR combines 1D and 2D reader tools with character (OCR) and pattern recognition capabilities to identify or verify all required product markings and the IDR software is embedded within the device and is setup through a web browser interface.

The controls are easy to navigate and accommodate users of all experience levels. Advanced features, such as custom scripting, are provided for more complex applications. User administration controls and logging features are also included to help customers achieve system validation when required. Included with BOA IDR is a fully functional software emulator that allows users to develop or debug applications offline. Runtime Images can be saved to the offline PC using the Ethernet interface. The emulator maximizes machine up time during application development and maintenance. BOA application setup does not assume programming or machine vision knowledge.

BOA IDR supports standard communication protocols, such as Modbus and Ethernet/IP, for seamless connection to complementary control devices.

BOA200 PRO - for higher-performance applications; embedded with Sherlock software
BOA200 PRO combines the robustness of the highly-integrated BOA smart camera with the flexibility of Sherlock™ inspection software, resulting in a compact industrial vision solution with diverse applicability across all manufacturing segments.

Easy to set up, control and integrate
Offered with a range of sensor resolutions, performance grades and software to accommodate the needs of both application and user, the embedded software is set up via a local PC connection to BOA using Ethernet. Once configured for runtime, the Ethernet link can be disconnected or used to communicate with other devices on the factory floor, such as PLCs, Robots and HMI's. In addition to Ethernet, BOA cameras provide direct connections for RS-232 serial, discrete I/O and lamp control. BOA cameras are supported by various hardware and software accessories to simplify factory integration.

The benefits of embedded Sherlock software
Sherlock Embedded has been specifically designed for the BOA PRO vision system.

The software includes a client design interface, installed on a PC, that communicates with the server or engine embedded on the camera. 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 whilst 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.
