Product Summary
The HE1600T, one of our Visionscape®family of networked Smart Cameras,
combines a rugged IP67 smart camera form-factor with the broad applicability,
flexibility, and proven vision toolkit of Visionscape®, and our line of high
performance vision boards. Designed for use in a broad range of vision
applications, the Visionscape® Smart Camera HE1600T provides a cost effective,
easily deployed solution for manufacturers to monitor quality, control processes,
or identify and trace parts on their production lines.
Visionscape® Smart Cameras are configured as flexible, general-purpose smart
cameras with C-mount optics and separate lighting. Like all other Visionscape®
Smart Cameras, the 1600T comes standard with built-in digital I/O, serial
communications, and Ethernet networking. All vision processing is done on-
board using a high performance, embedded CPU. A real-time, multitasking
operating system ensures deterministic performance and facilitates integration in
high-speed manufacturing lines.
The Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600T offers an extensive array of built-in
vision processing tools, including Data Matrix and bar code reading, optical
character recognition (OCR), image processing, image analysis and feature
extraction, flaw detection, object location, calibrated dimensional measurements,
and various custom processing options. Developed and perfected on prior
generations of our machine vision systems, these tools have already been
successfully applied in thousands of production installations worldwide.
Setup of a new vision application to run on the camera is done on a host PC on
the same network using the same powerful graphical application environment as
the rest of the Visionscape®line. Our patented Visionscape®step program
architecture allows running the same vision application program on any
Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600T vision Smart Camera or any
Visionscape®vision board, leveraging the end-user’s investment in application
development and training.
Scaleability and compatibility with the rest of the Visionscape®family set the
Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600T apart from other smart cameras in the
market today. The same point-and-click environment can be used to configure
applications deployed on smart cameras and framegrabbers.
The Smart Camera family supports 16 MB of Non-Volatile memory for Kernel
and Job saving (3 MB maximum AVP size) and 64 MB of RAM for operation.
The camera sensor (depending on model) supports acquisitions of:

Effective Frame Per Second & Pipeline Operation
Formulas
Use the following formula to calculate effective FrameRatePerSecond in a
Visionscape®Job:
Where VS Overhead is typically:
Interrupt Latency + Framework Overhead = 0.5 msec max
Or
In Table 1–2, EFPS is given in PowerStrobe with 1msec Integration time and Job
in full pipeline, meaning that the Job tools + idle processing time, i.e., less than
(IT + VFT + 0.5) above.
Full Pipeline = (AVT AVP Processing Time + IDT Inspection Idle Time +
LossLess Connection Overhead) < (IT + VFT + VSO) idle time is defaulted to
3% of the Inspection Time as defined in the VisionSystemStep property page.
Table 1–2 lists Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600T models, modes, and
frames per second.

Triggering Rules for Single Channel Devices
The Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600T has a single acquisition channel.
When a Job is constructed, only one Acquire can run at a time. Table 1–3
summarizes the recommended cases. Note that Visionscape®enforces this
condition by honoring the first Acquire requested and generating an overrun on
any other Acquire that are requested to run from the external controlling device
(usually, an external trigger or a PLC).

Additional Flash & System Memory (HE1600T)
The Enhanced Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600Te contains twice the Flash
(32MB) and twice the RAM (128MB) of the standard Visionscape®Smart
Camera HE1600T. The firmware fully supports both models:
• The Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600T (16M Flash / 64M RAM).
• The Enhanced Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600Te Smart Camera (32M
Flash / 128M RAM).
The Enhanced Visionscape®Smart Camera HE1600Te can save an AVP of
up to 16MB in size, allowing much larger AVPs to be developed for the
device.
