NI CVS-1450 Series User Manual 5-2 ni.com
To connect multiple CVS-1450 devices to the same network, each
CVS-1450 device must have a unique IP address. By default, the
configuration utility running on the development computer displays each
CVS-1450 device that exists on the subnet. To add entries for CVS-1450
devices that exist on other subnets, you must know the IP address assigned
to each CVS-1450 device. This feature allows remote configuration,
programming, and monitoring of any CVS-1450 device not protected by
a firewall or user password.
Use the CVS-1450 device serial number and media access control (MAC)
address to uniquely identify each unit. The serial number and MAC address
are printed on the top side of each CVS-1450 device unit, as shown in
Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2. Serial Number and MAC Address Label on the CVS-1450 Device
The configuration environment on the host machine displays these values
in order to distinguish one CVS-1450 device from another. In addition to
distinguishing units based on serial number and MAC address, you can also
assign each CVS-1450 device a descriptive name in the configuration
environment.
When configured to run an inspection, the CVS-1450 device can run
autonomously without connection to the host machine. All image
acquisition, inspection, decision making, and I/O occurs on the CVS-1450
device itself. For local monitoring of the inspection, you can connect a
monitor directly to the Video Out connector on the CVS-1450 device, as
shown in Figure 5-3.
