Smallest motion sensor sensitivity can be adjusted
Claimed to be the world's smallest PIR (passive infrared) sensor, the MP Motion Sensor is now available in an analogue output model that enables sensitivity to be adjusted.
Connector copes with mating stresses
The P5KF Narrow-pitch Connector from Matsushita Electric Works features a unique bellows-type twin contact structure that resists mating stresses and offers high contact reliability.
This allows for image recognition more similar to that of the human eye than conventional RGB-mode image processing systems that means it is more sensitive to slight variations in shades of colour.
True to other Matsushita vision systems, the AX30 is very easy to configure.
Using a handheld pendant for navigation, the graphical interface leads the user through a simple three-stage sequence of Image Capture, Processing and Result Output to configure the system for the application.
Two cameras can be connected to the AX30 offering greater flexibility and colour based applications can be processed using area and size measurement, position detection and counting checkers.
The AX30 is able to connect to any colour VGA compatible monitor.
However, there is also a dedicated LCD VGA monitor that provides clarity and sharpness to application images and menu screens.
The AX30 supports Compact Flash technology and can use cards up to 512Mb to store application parameters and images.
