Xi 410 LT ETH

The Optris Xi 410 LT ETH thermal camera provides non-contact thermal imaging for industrial applications. Operating in the long-wavelength infrared range (8 to 14 µm), it delivers accurate surface temperature measurements and meets various measurement needs. The adjustable field of view and wide temperature range support multiple industrial monitoring scenarios.

Designed for industrial environments, this infrared camera offers mid-resolution imaging at 384 x 240 pixels and measures temperatures from –20°C to 1500°C. The high distance-to-spot-size ratio enables accurate readings at extended distances, surpassing the performance of contemporary pyrometers.

Thermography software optris PIX Connect is included and license-free.All infrared cameras are delivered with the thermography software optris PIX Connect, developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of thermal images. The Windows-based PIX Connect software enables users to tailor the infrared cameras to meet specific requirements. It analyses live and recorded temperature data and triggers alarm signals for process integration.The key to leveraging the Optris infrared camera is a correct configuration. This includes detailed device-specific configurations such as frame rate, measurement range adjustments, external communication settings, and USB/Ethernet configurations. Moreover, PIX Connect facilitates firmware updates and the download of configuration files over the Internet. PIX Connect Optris offers several different SDKs for our Xi and PI thermal imaging cameras. Depending on the operating platform, the infrared camera, the coding language, and the hardware platform, different software interfaces can be utilized: SDK The Optris IRmobile allows users to set up and commission an Optris infrared pyrometer or infrared camera with an Android smartphone or tablet. This tool becomes handy for commissioning and aligning the infrared camera‘s field of view or adjusting the configuration. The app analyzes the connected infrared camera‘s live infrared image stream with auto hot and cold spot detection. For pyrometers, a temperature-time diagram or the video signal is displayed. This app works on most Android devices running 5.0+ with a USB port supporting USB-OTG (On The Go). Google Play

Can I trust the temperature measurement of a single pixel?

Due to the diffraction-limited nature of infrared optics, the optical resolution and image quality are physically limited. As the dimensions of the individual pixels are in the same range as the infrared wavelength, users shall ensure that the target is larger than the camera’s MFOV.

What is the speed of the Xi410 LT ETH thermal camera in autonomous operation?

1,5Hz

How do I configure the IP addresses for the Xi410 LT ETH thermal cameras?

Use the PIXConnect software to configure Ethernet settings and the autonomous mode.

Does the Xi410 LT ETH thermal camera support DHCP in the Ethernet mode?

No, the camera must be assigned to a static IP address.

Do I need software to run the infrared camera?

No, the infrared camera can run without the support of a computer. However, for setup and configuration, the software PIXConnect is necessary.

Is the Ethernet cable included?

The PoE adapter to utilize Ethernet is included in the standard scope of supply.

Can I use the Xi410 LT ETH thermal camera with metals or glass?

Other infrared cameras from Optris perform better with that material as they work in a different spectral band.

How do I focus the thermal camera?

The motorized focus can be set with the PIXConnect software. In the PIXConnect software, click on the “distance” button in the toolbar and use the slider.

Where is the Xi410 LT ETH thermal camera made, and does it contain memory components sourced from outside the U.S. or the European Union?

The Xi 410 LT ETH thermal camera is designed, manufactured, and calibrated in Berlin, Germany. Some electronic components may be sourced from outside the EU or the US. Still, it is important to note that the Xi 410 does not store any thermal images or temperature values in non-volatile memory. The Xi 410 LT ETH thermal camera only stores full thermal images, thermal video (.ravi files), and temperature values in the customer PC hosting the PIX Connect software necessary to operate the thermal camera. The camera uses memory components inside the camera electronics, which may be sourced outside the EU or the US to store a reference picture (also called dark picture) of the non-uniformity correction paddle or flag and some reference temperatures used to correct temperature drift. All these memory elements are deleted when the power to the camera head is terminated.

Can the Xi 410 LT ETH thermal camera operate without a connection to a computer?

The Xi 410 can calculate the temperature autonomously without a computer. The temperature data can either be transmitted via the USB or Ethernet interface or output via the process interface. Fieldbus communication is also available.

Can the Xi 410 LT ETH thermal camera send temperature information from spots or areas to my PLC?

The Xi 410 can send temperature information or temperature alarms from the Process Interface connection on the back of the camera. A cable with integrated electronics and a terminal block is included with the camera. It can be programmed in PIX Connect software as an Analog Input (AI) and Digital Input (DI) to control the thermal camera or as an Analog Output (AO) to control the process. The signal level is always 0-10 V (DI = 24 V). An optional industrial process interface is also available, delivering up to three independent temperature values or alarms to a user-supplied PLC. USB-RS485 adapters are available for applications with output requirements for more than three areas.

Is the infrared camera long-wave (LWIR), mid-wave (MWIR), or short-wave (SWIR)?

Optris infrared cameras are available in multiple spectral ranges, with model-specific frame rates and interface options. The Xi 410LT ETH uses LWIR and uses Ethernet.

Which industrial Ethernet/protocol kits are available for Xi410 LT ETH?

The following digital interface kits are available: Ethernet TCP/IP / Modbus TCP interface kit, EtherNet/IP interface kit, PROFINET kit.

What is the IFOV (instantaneous field of view/pixel size) for a given camera and lens?

The IFOV for each camera and optic is provided by the optics calculator in the Optris IR Camera Calculator.

What is the bit depth of the camera data?

The camera temperature data is based on 14-bit information. The data stream is transported in a 16-bit format, with 14 bits used for temperature data and 2 bits unused.

Is raw ADU data provided for processing in third-party software?

Raw data is not disclosed. ADU values can be output as a matrix via the OTC SDK, but they are uninterpreted. Temperature information and color information can be sent to third-party software for further processing.

What does the offset value represent in the analog output setup for Xi410 with PIF module (PIX Connect → Device (PIF) → AO1 → Setup)?

The offset entry is not a manual setting. It is a display field that shows the result of the offset/gain calculation derived from the configured temperature range and the corresponding signal output range.

After connecting an Xi410 to PIX Connect via Ethernet, why can a “frame timeout” occur even though the IP address is correct and ping responds?

In Windows, camera access permissions can prevent image acquisition even when network connectivity is correct. In the Windows settings search, “camera” should be opened, and the option “allow apps to access your camera” should be enabled.
