Key Features; Typical Applications - FLIR AX8 User Manual

Introduction
The FLIR AX series camera/sensor offers an affordable and accurate temperature meas-
urement solution for anyone who needs to solve problems that require built-in "smart-
ness" such as analysis, alarm functionality, and autonomous communication using
standard protocols. The FLIR AX series camera/sensor also has all the necessary fea-
tures and functions to build distributed single- or multi-camera solutions utilizing stand-
ard Ethernet hardware and software protocols.
The FLIR AX series camera/sensor also has built-in support to connect to industrial con-
trol equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and allows the sharing of
analysis and alarm results and simple control using the Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP
field bus protocols.

Key features:

• Support for the EthernetIP field bus protocol (analyze, alarm, and simple camera
control).
• Support for the Modbus TCP field bus protocol (analyze, alarm, and simple camera
control).
• Built-in analysis functionality.
• Alarm functionality, as a function of analysis and more.
• Built-in web server for control and setup.
• MJPEG/MPEG4/H.264 image streaming.
• PoE (Power over Ethernet).
• General-purpose I/O.
• 100 Mbps Ethernet (100 m cable).
• On alarm: file sending (FTP) or e-mail (SMTP) of analysis results or images.

Typical applications:

• Electrical and mechanical condition-monitoring applications where temperature or
temperature trends can be an indication of a potential risk of failure.
• Simple process control applications.
