The following products are available from Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG:
• VIP-3/SC/D25SUB/F (2315188) (The VIP-3/SC/D25SUB/F VARIOFACE
module), a DIN-rail mountable connection module. It is similar to the
BREAKOUT-BOX* connection module, described previously, but lacks the serial
connection and the compatibility with G4 Opto-22 standard I/O modules. The
VIP-3/SC/D25SUB/F VARIOFACE module does not ship with a cable. This
module is described in detail in the
Appendix E: Connection modules .
• DFLK-D25 SUB/B (2280323) (The DFLK-D25 SUB/B VARIOFACE module),
a rack-mountable connection module. It is similar to the VARIOFACE module
with screw connection, described earlier, but is smaller and is not DIN-rail
mountable. The DFLK-D25 SUB/B VARIOFACE module does not ship with a
cable. This module is described in detail in the
Appendix E: Connection modules .
Software overview
Matrox Iris GT comes with the Matrox Iris portal website installed. The Matrox
Iris portal website consists of a series of pages through which you can configure
your Matrox Iris GT, find other smart cameras on your network, update the
firmware, and handle licensing information.
To operate Matrox Iris GT, you can use one or more Matrox Imaging software
products that supports the smart camera. These are the Matrox Imaging Library
(MIL) and Matrox Design Assistant. Matrox Iris GT with MIL is distributed with
the runtime version of MIL. All Matrox Imaging software is supported under
Microsoft Windows. Consult your software manual for supported versions of these
operating systems.
MIL
MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized
functions for image capture, processing, analysis, transfer, compression, display,
and archiving. Image processing operations include point-to-point, statistical,
spatial filtering, morphological, geometric transformation, and FFT operations.
Analysis operations support calibration, are performed with sub-pixel accuracy,
and include pattern recognition (normalized grayscale correlation and Geometric
Model Finder), blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis, measurement,
metrology, character recognition (template-based and feature-based), code
recognition and verification (1D, 2D and composite code types),
3D reconstruction, and color analysis.
