Microprocessor-based sensing for an extraordinarily low cost.  The PresencePLUS inspection system is a camera that captures 256-level grey-scale images within a defined area. After converting those images to black and white pixels, a judgment is made for PASS or FAIL conditions. The hand-held programmer allows for easy configuration.  Its LCD screen displays programming options, monitoring options, captured images, and diagnostics. Up to four sets of programs can be stored. Teach mode programming offers a quick start right out of the box. Three SPST solid state output contacts can be setup for NPN or PNP. A complete system consists of the camera, the PRC1 remote programmer, lensing, lighting, cables, and mounting brackets.  Banner offers a wide variety of lighting and lensing to suit any application.  A complete package of the standard PresencePLUS can be purchased for under $1700.00

The PresencePLUS2 offers the same inspection operations, but incorporates the ease of a Windows PC setup. Neither a PC nor a hand-held controller is required for sensor operation.  The PresencePLUS2 Pixel Counting Sensor displays full resolution images of 512 x 384 pixels.  An intuitive three-window graphic interface makes this unit easy to set up and maintain. You can use the PresencePLUS2 software to easily view and adjust focus and lighting to maximize contrast. You can then name and store many sensor configurations. The PresencePLUS2 sensor can quickly retrieve saved configurations for fast line changes.   PresencePLUS2 connects to any Windows®95, 98, or NT PC via a standard DB9 serial connector. Interface software is also available on a free CD.
