ADLINK Technology provides a wide range of digital imaging products for industrial, medical and transportation industries and OEM machine vision applications. Products includes PCI Express frame grabbers, compact vision systems for various interfaces, such as Camera Link, IEEE 1394 (FireWire b), and Gigabit Ethernet. ADLINK is a global company with headquarters and manufacturing in Taiwan; R&D and integration in Taiwan, China, and the USA; and an extensive network of worldwide sales and support offices.
The ADLINK GIE64+ quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Vision frame grabber features PoE (Power over Ethernet), IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol and a smart PoE application programming interface. The GIE64+ supports PCI Express® x4 lane, and four independent Gigabit Ethernet ports with data transfer up to 1 Gb/s, with GigE Vision camera compliance. Multi-channel synchronization, PoE interface, IEEE 1588 PTP technology and smart PoE support allow the GIE64+ to dramatically cut cabling requirements by as much as 60%, significantly reducing maintenance burdens and boosting ease of use. The GIE64+ is perfectly suited to manufacturing environments utilizing multi-camera acquisition.
The GIE64+ supports IEEE 1588, providing a software trigger mode for multi-camera synchronized capture. Combining IEEE 1588 and PoE function, the GIE64+ utilizes a single Ethernet cable for power supply, data transfer, and synchronization. In a typical 4-channel image system, as an example, with the GIE64+, only four cables are required rather than the conventional twelve, representing a clear reduction in TCO (total cost of ownership). In addition, the GIE64+ further supports a smart PoE application programming interface, enabling easy power status programming and auto detection of compatibility with both PoE and non-PoE devices. Operational simplicity and energy efficiency are enhanced exponentially.
In addition, the GIE64+ provides link aggregation, increasing double-speed networking by merging two Gigabit Ethernet pathways into a single connection. An easy-to-read I/O-mounted LED display comprehensively communicates PoE status for worry-free power monitoring. Full driver support is provided for Windows 7/XP.
