National Instruments ISC-1778

The National Instruments ISC-1778 Smart Camera is engineered for high-performance visual inspection applications within industrial production environments. Featuring a robust 512 MB of system memory and a 5-megapixel resolution of 2448 x 2050 pixels, this camera is equipped with a 2/3-inch Sony ICX625AL CCD sensor that provides exceptional image clarity at a maximum speed of 15 frames per second. The ISC-1778 allows seamless integration with existing control systems via digital I/O, Ethernet, and serial communication interfaces, making it a versatile choice for building comprehensive visual inspection systems alongside Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The Ethernet interface supports both full and half-duplex modes, featuring auto-negotiation for optimal connection speed and DHCP compatibility for automatic IP address assignment. Encased in an IP67-rated metal enclosure, the ISC-1778 is designed to withstand challenging industrial conditions, although outdoor use is not recommended. Additionally, this smart camera supports direct external display connections through a VGI video output. While the ISC-1778 is marked as obsolete, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves.
