M40 Processor Features and Benefits

  • Controls up to 4 M-Series cameras — Reduces cost per inspection point via shared processing

  • PC built into the M40 processor — No added PC required, lower installation cost

  • Multi-Core processing power — Increases inspection power providing higher inspection rates

  • Wide selection of camera models — Allows for a selection of unique camera capabilities for application specific requirements

  • Supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) — Reducing cabling complexity by eliminating the necessity for camera power cables

  • Supports GigE Cameras — Capable of running up to 100m from M40 processor to cameras using standard Cat6a cables

  • Utilizes IMPACT's Vision Program Manager (VPM) — Allows fast deployment of flexible, robust inspection tasks and migration of existing inspection tasks to A, T, C and M processors

  • Utilizes IMPACT's Control Panel Manager (CPM) — With the addition of a monitor, the M40 enables deployment of a configurable and secure operator interface with "on-the-fly" control

  • Easily integrates with PPT VISION's A, T, & C Smart Cameras — allows for data sharing and inter-camera communication without the need for a PC

  • Optional Embedded Security Software — Maintains security by preventing unauthorized changes to the system software.

PPT M_Series Cameras

The M-Series cameras offer a wide range of features and performance capabilities, providing unparalleled machine vision configuration and integration for factory automation.

M-Series Cameras Features and Benefits

  • Asynchronously triggered cameras — Allows independent image capturing per camera

  • Up to 5MP Cameras available — Higher resolution inspection accuracy

  • High Speed Image Capture Rates - Up to 210 frames per second (fps)

  • PoE Camera Models — Reduced Cabling Complexity

  • GigE Cameras — Allowing cable runs up to 100 meters from M40 Processor

  • Industry Standard Cabling - Use standard low cost Cat-5e or Cat-6 cables

  • Trigger and Strobe I/O on Camera — Simplified lighting integration

  • Right Angle Cameras — Allows increased camera mounting possibilities

  • Small Form Factor (60 x 29 x 29 mm) — Easier mounting in space constrained locations

  • Integrated Camera Control — All camera settings fully integrated into IMPACT Software
