Machine vision and deep learning edge IoT device

Matrox® Iris GTX is the next evolution of smart cameras from Matrox Imaging. Offering faster, higher-resolution sensors and substantially more processing power than its immediate predecessor, Matrox Iris GTX provides exceptional performance for a compact all-in-one vision system. Paired with flowchart-based Matrox Design Assistant® X software, engineers and technicians can quickly configure and deploy machine vision applications directly to the Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras. Video capture, analysis, classification, location, measurement, reading, verification, communication, and I/O operations—as well as a web-based operator interface—are all set up within the same software. Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras are model edge IoT devices, performing data acquisition and analytics, and providing results nearest to the manufacturing process requiring guidance or inspection, thus ensuring consistent, timely response and action.

An Intel® Atom® x6000 series embedded processor allows the use of faster, higher-resolution image sensors that together deliver new levels of performance to the Matrox Iris GTX. The efficient processor enables the Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras to handle both traditional machine vision workloads as well as deep learning inference. These smart cameras also offer real-time digital I/Os for interfacing directly to automation devices. They provide GigE and USB ports, and a VGA video output to enable full integration within an automation cell or machine.

Compact footprint for harsh industrial spaces

Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras are designed for challenging environments. Boasting the same small footprint and cabling connections as its immediate predecessor, the Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras features a sturdy IP67-rated housing and robust M12 connectors for its external interfaces, allowing them to operate in dusty, wet, and other demanding conditions. These smart cameras accept standard C-mount lenses within a dust- and liquid-proof protective cap. Contained within this cap is an interface to a Corning® Varioptic® C-C-Series auto-focus lens for focus adjustment from within on-device software. Matrox Iris GTX also feature an LED lighting intensity control output—compatible with Advanced illumination Inline Control System (ICS) 3 lighting control and Smart Vision Lights brick spot lights—for direct adjustments within the on-device software. The ability to adjust the lens focus and control illumination intensity directly from within on-device software eliminates the need for manual intervention in hard-to-reach places.

Quick and reliable response

Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras offer real-time digital I/Os for interfacing directly to automation devices. Each digital I/O on the Matrox Iris GTX is managed by a dedicated hardware engine for real-time performance. The real-time I/O engine enables an output event to occur at a precise moment in time, after a certain elapsed time, or following a specific input event. An input event can come directly from an input, including from an incremental rotary encoder or a count derived from an input. A programmed output event is stored in a hardware list, which is traversed based on a clock or an input event. The carrying out of an output event results in a state transition, pulse, or pulse train on a specific output. Multiple hardware timers, which can be cascaded together, are available to count or generate specific events.

Matrox Iris GTX also feature a hardware-assisted mechanism for PROFINET communication, ensuring timely response when the automation controller is set up for a short cycle time or when the processor is too busy performing other tasks.

Flowchart-based vision software

Matrox Iris GTX smart cameras come ready for running applications developed using Matrox Design Assistant X — an integrated development environment (IDE) for Microsoft® Windows®. Users can easily configure flowcharts to create machine vision applications, rather than write program code. The IDE also lets users design a graphical web-based operator interface for the application. The flowchart-based approach streamlines development to get applications up and running quickly. Refer to the Matrox Design Assistant X datasheet for more information.
