Powerful Software Upgrades for Banner VE Series Smart Cameras

Banner has released upgrades to their Vision Manager software for the VE series smart camera, making the PC programming software even more powerful. Individual tool results, such as X and Y coordinates, can now be exported over EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus/TCP with the new Industrial Protocol Flexible Map feature. Use the Logic tool to combine tool results using Boolean logic or to drive discrete outputs from tool results. The latest version of Banner's Vision Manager software is free and available now.

Vision Manager Software Upgrade:

• Support for the new, lower resolution WVGA and 1.3MP cameras, in addition to the 2MP camera
• Create custom Industrial Ethernet maps to export individual tool results
• Combine tool results or drive discrete IO using the Logic Tool
• Backup, restore, and reset to default settings through the emulator
• Choose to display only the image and annotations while in full screen image mode
• Image export sample application and source code now available

Banner Engineering's free and easy-to-use Vision Manager Software provides a number of tools and capabilities that enable VE Series Smart Cameras to solve a wide range of vision applications, such as item detection, part positioning, feature measurement, and flaw analysis.

Banner's VE Series Smart Camera is Now Available in Two New Resolutions!

Banner Engineering's easy-to-use VE Series Smart Camera is now available in two new resolutions. The 1.3MP and WVGA resolutions have speed and price advantages compared to the 2MP model, but offer the same powerful inspection capabilities. With multiple resolutions now available, users can select the smart camera most suitable for their application.

Three Hardware Resolutions:

• 1.3MP - Recommended model for initial testing of an application
• WVGA - Operates at higher speeds than the 1.3MP and 2MP models and is well suited for applications where cost is a key consideration. This model is available for under $2000!
• 2MP - Capable of detecting smaller objects than the 1.3MP and WVGA cameras and has a larger field of view than these models
