  • Programmable logic controller and camera input expansion unit
    Patent number: 10986266
    Abstract: A camera input expansion unit includes a camera-setting-information storage, a camera expansion processor, an image-recorder, and an image capture interface. The camera-setting-information storage stores setting information on the camera including the conditions of the image capture trigger. The camera expansion processor generates an ON/OFF signal for defining the image capture trigger based on the setting information of the camera. Based on the ON/OFF signal as the image capture trigger, the camera expansion processor acquires the image data which is generated by the camera. The image-recorder records the image data acquired by the camera expansion processor. The image capture interface is provided between the camera expansion processor and the camera. The image capture interface has an image-capture-trigger line propagating the ON/OFF signal to the camera and an image communication line propagating the image data generated by the camera to the camera expansion processor.
