Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Product Description

The SmartVision MX is a Windows®7 Embedded industrial PC designed to run ACE soft-

ware. It is compatible with the SmartController line of products, or can be used with our robots

that don’t use a SmartController.

For inspection applications, the SmartVision MX industrial PC is designed to be a “plug-and-

play” vision system. Using a USB or GigE camera, along with ACE’s PC-based vision soft-

ware, the unit is a complete industrial vision solution.

When used with a SmartController, the SmartVision MX provides expanded vision processing

power for vision-guided robotics or inspection.

Figure 1-1. The SmartVision MX Industrial PC

Features

The SmartVision MX provides the following features:

lCompatibility with the SmartController line of products

lIntel PC platform, with Core i7 processor

lWindows 7 Embedded OS

lPorts for both Gigabit and USB 3.0 cameras

Four Gigabit ports provide Power over Ethernet.

lStandard Gigabit LAN

Chapter 1: Introduction

lStandard RS-232 interface

lBoth DVI-D and DVI-I ports

lUSB ports can support a keyboard and mouse, for standalone operation

What Comes with a SmartVision MX?

Hardware

The SmartVision MX includes:

lIntel®Core i7

l8 GB DDR3 memory

l64 GB mSATASSDdrive

The drive is partitioned into a C: drive and a D: drive. By default, the C: drive uses a

file-based write filter, to protect the Windows operating system and ACE software. We

recommend that you leave this write filter enabled for C: in normal use.

Because the OS and ACE software are on C:, you should be very cautious about using C:

for any other purpose, particularly for other applications.

lMatching connector for VDC input power

lA USB license dongle, which enables licenses for one of the following:

oACESight software, 2 camera support

oACE PackXpert, 1 controller support

oACE PackXpert with ACESight software, 2 camera and 1 controller support

oAny additional camera or controller licenses that you purchased

oOther licenses can be purchased to increase the number of cameras and con-

trollers supported.

A SmartVision MX can support a total of eight cameras and four controllers.

NOTE: If you are going to use a SmartVision MX industrial PC with

ACESight, but without ACE PackXpert, the SmartController needs to have a

motion license.

Software

The following software is pre-loaded on the hard drive:

lWindows®7 Embedded

lACE

lACE Sight 3 (ACE-based vision software)

lDrivers for Basler ACEcameras (USB and GigE)

The SmartVision MX is designed to run ACE software. We do not support applications other

than ACE.

Chapter 1: Introduction

What Doesn’t Come with a SmartVision MX?

l24 VDC power supply to power the SmartVision MX industrial PC (see External Power

Supply on page 14).

If you are using the SmartVision MX with a SmartController, you can generally use 24

VDC power from the SmartController to power the SmartVision MX. See Connecting to

a SmartController on page 17.

lCameras and camera cables

lKeyboard, mouse, and monitor

These should be user-supplied, so you can run the ACE and ACESight applications,

and well as control shutting down the industrial PC.

lIf power interruption is a concern, a UPS is recommended. Contact Omron Adept Tech-

nologies, Inc. for more information.
