Indio cards provide industrial I/O and communication capabilities that allow users to turn any PC running Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Design Assistant vision software into a genuine vision controller. The I/O card features 16 discrete digital I/Os for real-time synchronization with automation devices. Indio also provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for interfacing with PLCs, automation controllers, and GigE Vision cameras equipped for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Benefits of the Indio
- Turn PCs Into Vision Controllers - Indio delivers I/O and communication capabilities to turn any PC running Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Design Assistant software into a vision controller. Its GbE connectivity allows for interfacing with a PLC or GigE Vision cameras via PoE.
- Range of Industrial I/Os - Indio I/O cards have eight discrete inputs and eight discrete outputs that support both factory-floor and lab use. Optical isolation and resettable fuses help protect the I/Os against unintended use.
- Synchronize in Real-Time - A dedicated hardware-assisted mechanism on the Indio card allows for real-time I/O management and synchronization of a vision application with automation devices.
Additional Software Features
- Aurora Imaging Library, formerly Matrox Imaging Library, machine-vision software development kit (SDK) has a deep collection of tools for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display, and archiving. Code-level customization starts here. LEARN MORE
- Aurora Design Assistant, formerly Matrox Design Assistant, integrated development environment (IDE) is a flowchart-based platform for building applications, with templates to speed up development and bring vision applications online quicker.
