Hardware P400MA
A reliable and compact system
The system’s hardware and software are
delivered fully configured, which saves you time
setting up your system. Standardized hardware
and several protective features ensure safe and
reliable operation for many years – even in a
harsh industrial environment.
Latest Vision technology
A careful combination of the latest computing
technology and selected image processing
hardware yields robust, fast and precise
industrial Machine Vision. The system comes
equipped with our Vision P400 software, which
is based on one of the most advanced image
processing libraries in the world. Expert
knowledge is only one mouse click away.
Solid, powerful and reliable
P400MA offers the performance and stability of a
dedicated, stand-alone and high-speed Machine
Vision System. Nevertheless, it is 100% PC-
compatible, thus combining all the merits and
comforts of PC technology with industrially proven
hardware.

Expandable
The system can be upgraded with up to two additional
camera boards, which will be detected automatically
by the software. P400 comes equipped with standard
interfaces such as RS232, USB, Ethernet and even a
digital I/O card. Futhermore, several unoccupied PCI
slots offer added flexibility for your future needs.
Fast
The combination of carefully selected, fast hardware
components and a specially developed driver
software gives P400 real high-speed inspection
capabilities. For example, extracting more than 1000
object features takes less than 50ms.
Designed with the
customer in mind
The Imagechecker P400 is based on a
powerful IBM-compatible industrial computer and

Multi-camera processing
The P400 is able to operate with up to 12 cameras in
serial input mode or 6 cameras while capturing
images in parallel. Users may select from different
CCD-matrix camera types, from basic types to mega-
pixel types.
Designed for use in industry
During the development of the Imagechecker P400,
Panasonic attached great importance to designing a
durable system suitable for industrial use. The P400
system has been thoroughly tested with regards to
vibration and shock. Furthermore, each single P400
component has to pass an extended quality test
before being used for the production of a system.
Each single P400 system has to withstand a 48-hour
test run. Due to its slot-CPU architecture, servicing a
P400 system is easy.
Safe investment
In times of shortened product life cycles, protecting
your investment long-term becomes increasingly
important. P400MA flexible architecture and use of
high-quality, standard component guarantees this:
soft- and hardware can be easily updated and
upgraded at any time.
Highlights:
Precise inspection with up to 12 CCD matrix cameras
High performance and multi-purpose system
Expandable thanks to modular concept
Industrially proven with excellent connectivity

Menu bar
Here all basic settings can be made, e.g. opening and saving an
application, selecting the frame grabber, specifying a password, processing
a spreadsheet, etc.
Spreadsheet
The spreadsheet is a special
dialog box for displaying and
optimizing the individual
parameters and results. The drag
& drop facility can be used to
optimize limit values. Statistics can
be prepared and checking results
assigned to the interfaces. Action
commands assist in analysing test
objects which have been
recognized as being faulty.
Vertical toolbar
The icons on the left-hand bar are
used to select a checker. With an
icon from the right-hand bar, the
checker window shape can be
selected. The size and position of
the window defined can be modified
at will using the mouse.
Status bar
Information about the effect of selecting a
menu item or icon is provided here.
