Sorry if this has been posted before. I didn't see anything quite like it in my search.

Here is my question. I want to find a camera that can take pictures at a predetermined rate and output grayscale images to a PLC (Allen Bradley ControlLogix) via ethernet or USB. I want the grayscale image to be put into a two dimensional array in the PLC (Width X Height) with the data being the grayscale value as in integer (1-255).

I know I have alot to learn before getting this accomplished. And I thank any comments I receive. I simply want to know if I'm barking up the wrong tree in thinking I can achieve this here.

Also, if I am up the wrong tree. I would appreciate any other ideas.

Thanks Again

Hello -

What framerate were you looking for?

It's not impossible to do. I'd recommend looking at our SDK and seeing if it fits your needs. The Camera SDK found here can be used to integrate OptiTrack functionality into your applications. Pay attention to camera.h and bitmap.h specifically.
