As always, the A Series is packed with
easy-to-use features.
In addition to the ease-of-use and reliability that you expect from the No. 1
manufacturer in the field, we also provide convenient new functions for a diverse range of solutions.
Convenient new display function
I Data Monitor Function
Titles and results of numerical calculations and judgment outputs can be
displayed on the inspection screen. You can register your own text for
display, and change the maximum and minimum limits for numerical
calculations directly from the menu.
Display text can be registered
Result display reference from
numerical calculation judgment
output possible (10 lines x 2 pages)
Unregistered parts are blank
Judgment conditions can be changed
using the ENT key
(numerical calculations only)
I Two-image switch/split function (A210 only)
When using two cameras simultaneously for an
operation such as measuring the distance
between two points, you can use an external
signal to switch the display. It is also possible
Camera A
to split images captured by two cameras for
display as one image on the screen. You can
select either vertical or horizontal for the image
split direction.
Extensive array of image capture functions
I Double-speed random camera
(progressive rectangular-lattice CCD element)
With the A series, we introduced a progressive double-speed random
camera that provides 3 times the maximum ratio of conventional units with
1/60 second for a high-quality picture and no image degradation. In field
mode, it reaches 4 times for 1/120 second. The result is fast inspection
without having to worry about inspection time or image quality.
I Internal synchronous signal inspection
Compatible with the internal synchronous signal of NTSC, video scopes and
special cameras can also be used. However, depending on the model, some
may not be able to be connected. Consult your Matsushita Electric Works
representative (there is one connection port).

I Marker Function
Up to eight graphics (circles, ellipses, rectangles and lines) can be displayed
on the inspection screen. This is very convenient when performing manual
positioning for camera adjustment with production equipment.

Connects to a variety of PLCs
The A Series can connect to a range of PLCs without a communication
program. In addition to the Matsushita Electric Works PLC-FP Series, it can
be used with PLC products from Mitsubishi, Omron, and Allen-Bradley
(Ver. 2.2 or later).
The A Series can perform type switching data communication and read and
write measurement data and inspection results to and from PLCs without
requiring that you create a communication program.

Speed and precision (Strongest in its class)
The A series comes equipped with a 32-bit RISC, 200
MHz CPU with pipeline processing.
It attains 360 MIPS and 1.4 GFLOPS for astronomically
high-speed processing. With the super-
quick CPU, increased floating point
operation speed, pipeline processing,
specially designed algorithms, and a
large memory capacity, it achieves not
only extremely high-speed inspection,
but also the ultimate in precision as
well.

Reduced size (Smallest in its class)
With a small 120 × 40mm footprint, installation is simple. Tight installation
with checkers next to each other is also possible. With considerations for
wiring, connectors, and removable terminal blocks, installation with all
units facing one direction is possible for no wasted space.
Installation on DIN rails is also possible.
