The maestro P800 controller from LMI Technologies is shown with the Grayhill 50 series rack mount

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – LMI Technologies announces Grayhill as their vender of choice for highly configurable I/O racks and modules for LMI’s maestro product line of machine vision controllers.

Barry Dashner, New Business Development Manager at LMI Technologies explains, “Our engineers recommend the Grayhill System 50 series of I/O racks and cable assemblies for their maestro P800 controller. Grayhill’s intuitive interfaces provide the necessary third party compatibility to centralize I/O activities in the P800 controller.”

The Grayhill System 50 I/O rack series offers a family of 50-pin racks and I/O modules that support the triggering and timing requirements of the maestro products. For the maestro P800 controller in particular, support is required to connect up to 24 I/O devices, which may be AC or DC devices.

To integrate an I/O rack, the engineer simply has to choose the size of the rack required for the desired I/O modules. These modules convert the signals to or from the I/O devices to levels that are acceptable by the P800 controller.

The I/O rack is connected to the P800 via a 50-pin cable, provided by Grayhill. This cable may have a header or edger card connector on one end, depending on the style of the I/O rack selected.

Maestro is designed to help reduce integration costs for the engineer by providing a centralized controller for powering and timing of machine vision systems. This is achieved by providing power and triggering to lights and cameras, as well as connections to external I/O devices.

Maestro’s simple, scalable architecture is ideal for the rapid design and integration of a customized machine vision solution, from single-camera designs to high-speed multi-camera inspection systems.
