2-port, IEEE 1394 reconfigurable digital I/O frame receiver device - PCIe 8255 is an IEEE 1394 interface suitable for PC based systems. PCIe 8255 is an ideal choice for high data rate machine vision applications. This interface can power the camera and collect images from the camera through three IEEE 1394 camera input ports. A hub that can be connected to any port allows for the collection of more camera images. PCIe 8255 includes multiple digital I/O lines for synchronization between visual components such as cameras, triggers, and lighting. The board also has orthogonal encoder input, product selection line and general digital I/O for communication with driver, Programmable logic controller (PLC) and NI programmable automatic controller (PAC
