Product Description
Zebra CONPT2 Concord PoE dual-port PCIe 2.1 x4 Gigabit Ethernet NIC with PoE and hardware-assisted ToE. Partially licensed for Aurora Design Assistant/Imaging Library. Note: Includes a mDP-to-HD15 cable adaptor.
GigE Vision interface cards for simplified cabling
Zebra® Concord PoE is a new generation of Gigabit Ethernet adaptors for interfacing one or more GigE Vision® cameras sup porting power-over-Ethernet (PoE). Available with two or four Gigabit Ethernet ports, these network interface cards (NICs) simplify system configuration, not only by handling command and streaming protocols but also providing power over a single standard Cat 5e/6 cable per camera connection. An isolated PoE implementation protects cameras, board, and host computer from damage due to electrical faults and stray current that adversely affects camera detection.
ToE
Zebra Concord PoE also provides—as an option—a useful ToE capability for multiple cameras working together. The hardware- assisted ToE capability allows the sending of a software trigger or an action-command to one or more cameras based on an external input event. The ToE applies to camera(s) on the same or multiple Ethernet ports for a given trigger event. Moreover, this ToE feature helps reduce trigger latency and remove jitter brought on by a non-deterministic host environment.
Real-time I/Os
The ToE option includes digital I/Os that are managed by a dedi cated hardware-assisted mechanism for real-time performance. The mechanism enables output events to occur at precise moments in time, based on elapsed time, or for specific input events. An input event can come directly from a discrete input—including from a rota ry encoder—or be count-derived from a discrete input. Programmed output events are 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 dis crete output. Multiple cascadable hardware timers are available to count or generate specific events.
