1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

NEON-1020/1040

The NEON-1040 is a powerful new generation x86 smart camera
that features the Intel

®

Atom™ Processor E3845 1.9 GHz, 4 MP at
60 fps, global shutter image sensor, and PWM lighting control sup­port. The NEON-1040 stands out with its minimal footprint and
superior computing power, and rugged IP67-rated construction
and M12 connectors enable the NEON-1040 to withstand the
harshest industrial environments.

High-end quad-core processor with FPGA coprocessors, GPU
and up to 32GB storage for image processing, programs, and
archiving, all provide advanced image processing ability ideally
suited to high speed high resolution industrial imaging. Optimal I/O
connectivity includes one additional slave GigE Vision camera
connection, 4x digital inputs, 4x digital outputs, and VGA output,
all maximizing integration with external devices.

Flexible software development support, including GenTL support
for image acquisition and Open CV and Open CL programming,
further significantly benefits developers by easing migration from
x86 platforms.

1.7 General Purpose Digital Signals

1.7.1 General Purpose Digital Output (EDO)

Four digital output channels are provided, such that, in the com­mon ground connection of digital output, as shown, when a 1
(logic high) is written by FPGA to a DO channel, sink current
passes through the transistors and the DO channel goes low, and
when a 0 (logic low) is written by FPGA to a DO channel, no cur­rent passes through the transistors and the DO channel goes high.
