The Aon-CXP is low cost single link CoaXPress frame grabber. While it looks tiny, it is very powerful. It supports CXP camera speeds up to 6.25 Gb/S. The technology that Machine Vision components are built on are advancing rapidly in performance while size and costs are plummeting. CoaXPress cameras, which traditionally were power hungry, large, and expensive, are now small, cool, and affordable. This CoaXPress link is almost twice the real world data rate of the USB3 Vision standard and significantly quicker than the latest GigE Vision data rates. This means 2 MP images is available at 300 FPS. The Aon CXP has been designed for this low cost/high-performance market.
A small foot print single link CXP camera mated with the Aon-CXP can provide all the convenience of a GigE Vision or USB3 Vision camera system. It can compete on price; can exceed the cable lengths in many cases; and can provide a host of Machine Vision features missing from GigE Vision or USB3 Vision camera systems (triggers, encoders, strobe, waveform generators, quadrature encoder support, etc.). Furthermore, because of the Aon's advanced DMA engine, no CPU resources are used in moving images to host memory.
CoaXPress (CXP) is a simple, yet powerful, standard for moving high speed serial data from a camera to a frame grabber. Video is captured at speeds of up to 6.25 Gigabits/Second (Gb/S). Control commands and triggers can be sent simultaneously to the camera at rates of 20 Mb/S (with a trigger accuracy of +/- 2 nanoseconds). Up to 13 W of power can also supplied to the camera. All this happens over a single piece of industry standard 75 Ohm coaxial cable.
Multiple CXP links can be aggregated to support higher data rates (e.g. four links provide 25 Gb/S of data).
Features
StreamSync
The StreamSync system consists of an Acquisition Engine and a Buffer Manager.The StreamSync system is a start-from-scratch complete redesign of the acquisition and DMA parts of a frame grabber.
StreamSync Features
>> Efficient support for variable sized images with fast context switching between frames
>> Per frame control of acquisition properties (AOI specifically)
>> Hardware control of image sequencing
>> Enhanced debug capabilities
>> Efficient support for on-demand buffer allocation (GenICam model)
>> Graceful recovery from dropped packets (either on the input side or the DMA side)
PCI Express Gen 2.0 Interface
The Aon-CXP has a Gen 2.0 x2 PCI Express bus interface. The Gen 2.0 PCIe bus doubles the data rate of the Gen 1.0 bus while using the same footprint and connectors. The board will work in any Gen 2.0 slot, with a minimum electrical configuration of x2. This ensures the board will run at full capacity.
Camera Control and I/O
The Aon-CXP can acquire fixed or variable size images and features a programmable ROI (Region Of Interest) sub-windowing capability. The Aon-CXP fully supports the CoaXPress 1.1 specification which provides a high priority trigger packet from the frame grabber to the camera. All I/O signals can be routed to/from many internal and external destinations, providing flexible routing that is unprecedented in the industry. In addition, there are separate hardware I/O signals which can be connected to/from an external source. The Aon-CXP board supports not only simple triggering modes but also complicated, application-specific triggering.
