MACHINE SAFETY FEATURE


Thermal monitoring solutions help avoid build-up on calender rolls and damage to the paper processing systems.


240 or 640 × 480, which provide up to ±2°C accuracy within temperature ranges of -40°C to 2,000°C.


CHOOSE AN ANALYTICS SOFTWARE: Easily integrate FLIR automation cameras with your preferred analytics software. Some of the software that FLIR cameras currently integrate with include Cognex Designer Pro, NI Software, Pleora Ebus, Teledyne, and Spinaker SDK.


DETERMINE REGIONS OF INTEREST AND ALARM SETTINGS: Define what critical areas need to be surveyed for hotspots or temperature variances. When deploying FLIR cameras, you can select up to ten regions of interest. Simply use the web- based configuration window on your mobile device or computer to select spots, draw boxes, or create custom areas. Create your alarm parameters as well as the desired response by defining the data acquisition output type.


These are just a few deployments that


demonstrate how automation solutions can be used to avoid unplanned outages, production line shutdowns, fires, and other “surprise” events that cause substantial disruptions and financial loss.


DEPLOYMENT RECOMMENDATION When evaluating how to implement thermal cameras for your automation application, there





are several factors to consider. Here are a few recommendations to get you started.


SELECT AN ACCURATE CAMERA: For automation, accurate radiometric thermal images is key. Select a high-resolution radiometric thermal camera that yields sharp images and rich image detail. FLIR offers two optimal thermal detector arrays, 320 ×

INTEGRATE WITH CONTROL PROCESSES: For improved intervention, integrate thermal automation cameras with other control processes. To do this, ensure your automation camera is compliant with communication protocols such as GigE Vision, RTSP, MQTT, RESTful API, MODBUS TCP & Master, Ethernet IP, and FTP.
