Camera monitoring (Network camera interface module)
- Streamlining on-site camera monitoring with an HMI (GOT)
An HMI (GOT) enables easier and more convenient camera monitoring.
Checking images of the production site using an HMI (GOT)
Live camera images can be checked on the HMI (GOT) without using a personal computer.
The displayed images can be switched to images sent from other cameras and camera shooting directions can be changed while checking images.
The GOT2000 series already used can be used for monitoring.
-
- Switching views among multiple cameras
-
- Changing the camera shooting direction using the HMI (GOT)
-
-
- Example
-
- While checking the images displayed on the HMI (GOT), an operator can change the shooting direction by touching buttons on the screen.
Recording images at a downtime (drive recorder images)
When a trouble occurs, the production status before and after the trouble occurrence can be recorded and used for the trouble analysis.
Camera motion detection, heat detection, and other functions are used to display alarms on the HMI (GOT).
-
- Recording production status upon sensor detection
-
- Using various camera detection functions
-
-
- Example
-
- When a sensor detects a fallen bottle, the image can be recorded.
*1, *2: Time can be set individually as desired. The maximum value depends on the camera specifications.
General-purpose programmable controllersSending images to a general-purpose monitor for large-scale split screen display
Images from multiple cameras can be sent to a general-purpose monitor using the decoder. (Images can also be sent to a remote location.)
-
- Sending images to a general-purpose monitor for large-scale split screen display
-
- Example
- If a sensor detects a person entering a facility (such as a high-voltage tower), the camera shooting direction can be changed and the image can be checked from the monitoring room.
Voice messages via a speaker
Error messages or other messages are given by voice using a network speaker.
-
- Voice messages
-
- Example
- The camera motion detection function is used to give alerts and warnings via a speaker when a person enters a restricted area.
The camera detection function can be used as well as the motion detection function.
Application example
Configuration example
Configuration example
To control the direction of duct a servo amplifier and camera are installed.
When a worker comes into view of the camera the image recognition system recognizes the colors of the worker's clothes and the worker's location is tracked.
The worker's location is reported to the network camera interface module.
The network camera interface module converts a reporting signal to control the direction of the duct via the programmable controller and servo amplifier.
The servo motor controls the direction of the duct.
Using images obtained through the network camera interface module air can be directed toward worker's all the time.
This creates a comfortable aire-conditioned environment.
Temperature monitoring system
- Configuration example
- • The absolute temperature is obtained at a specified point within the shooting range. (The obtained temperature can be used as numerical value data.)
• Up to six temperature measuring ranges are set within the shooting range.
• The maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and average temperature are obtained for each temperature measuring range. (The obtained temperatures can be used as numerical value data.)
• The MELSEC iQ-R/Q/L series can be notified of the alarms that the specified temperature or temperature change rate (°C/second) is exceeded.
General-purpose monitor display without a computer
- Configuration example
- • The content displayed on the monitor can be changed by triggering signals that can be handled by the programmable controller, such as sensor input.
• A detection function (such as motion detection) equipped in the network camera can also be used as a trigger.
• By using a network decoder together, network camera images can be displayed on a general-purpose monitor without a computer.
• 1 to 16 network cameras can be freely set for display.
• The display position and size can be freely set for each live image.
