[@nicholasrudloff]

Is it possible to display an image from a GigE camera to the HMI?

[@twincatemy8997]

Yes, checkout the hmi vision extension from beckhoff

@@twincatemy8997 Awesome! Thanks I found it. It's the first time I'm using Beckhoff so this has been a learning experience for me. I know this is unrelated to your HMI video but information is very limited, using the vision, is it possible to do a pattern search on an object and then relay the x,y coordinates like with an omron camera system?

@@nicholasrudloff check this function out: infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/1033/tf7xxx_tc3_vision/8109885707.html&id=
Hmmm regarding the integrability with Omron hardware that depends on the output of the camera. If it's some proprietary Omron format I don't believe so. But if it is Gige or USB then it's possible.
For camera transformations, go to the Beckhoff Infosys page and search for camera calibration. Good 🤞
