Panasonic A110, A210 specifications As always, the a Series is packed with easy-to-use features

As always, the A Series is packed with easy-to-use features.

In addition to the ease-of-use and reliability that you expect from the No. 1

manufacturer in the field, we also provide convenient new functions for a diverse range of solutions.

Convenient new display function

■Data Monitor Function

Titles and results of numerical calculations and judgment outputs can be displayed on the inspection screen. You can register your own text for display, and change the maximum and minimum limits for numerical calculations directly from the menu.

Display text can be registered

Result display reference from numerical calculation judgment output possible (10 lines x 2 pages)

■Marker Function

Up to eight graphics (circles, ellipses, rectangles and lines) can be displayed on the inspection screen. This is very convenient when performing manual positioning for camera adjustment with production equipment.

Connects to a variety of PLCs

The A Series can connect to a range of PLCs without a communication program. In addition to the Matsushita Electric Works PLC-FP Series, it can be used with PLC products from Mitsubishi, Omron, and Allen-Bradley (Ver. 2.2 or later).

The A Series can perform type switching data communication and read and write measurement data and inspection results to and from PLCs without requiring that you create a communication program.

■Compatible PLC products

●Matsushita Electric Works FP Series

●Mitsubishi MELSEC A series/FX Series

●Omron SYSMAC-C Series

●Allen-Bradley SLC500 (Ver. 2.2 or later)

Judgment conditions can be changed using the ENT key (numerical calculations only)

The A series comes equipped with a 32-bit RISC, 200 MHz CPU with pipeline processing.

It attains 360 MIPS and 1.4 GFLOPS for astronomically

high-speed processing. With the super-

MIPS

With a small 120 ⋅ 40mm footprint, installation is simple. Tight installation with checkers next to each other is also possible. With considerations for wiring, connectors, and removable terminal blocks, installation with all units facing one direction is possible for no wasted space.

■Two-image switch/split function (A210 only)

quick CPU, increased floating point 32 bit

Installation on DIN rails is also possible.

When using two cameras simultaneously for an operation such as measuring the distance between two points, you can use an external signal to switch the display. It is also possible to split images captured by two cameras for display as one image on the screen. You can select either vertical or horizontal for the image split direction.

Two types available to suit your application

■ A210 with two camera connections and	■ A110 with one camera connection and
high-end functions	good cost performance

■Double-speed random camera

(progressive rectangular-lattice CCD element)

With the A series, we introduced a progressive double-speed random camera that provides 3 times the maximum ratio of conventional units with 1/60 second for a high-quality picture and no image degradation. In field mode, it reaches 4 times for 1/120 second. The result is fast inspection without having to worry about inspection time or image quality.

■Internal synchronous signal inspection

Compatible with the internal synchronous signal of NTSC, video scopes and special cameras can also be used. However, depending on the model, some may not be able to be connected. Consult your Matsushita Electric Works representative (there is one connection port).

*The shutter speed on the random camera, before exposure, needs to be set to 1/120 to 1/20000 seconds.

We offer true cost performance and wipe away the concept that image

processing is expensive.
