The highly compact Smart Cameras VCBase are also available as color cameras. Just like the black-and-white models, they feature high-performance Texas Instruments DSPs with a clock rate of 400 MHz and a computing power of 3,200 MIPS. At 1024 x 768 and 640 x 480 pixels respectively, the VCBase family offer a frame rate of 16 or 32 fps. Both models come equipped with 32 MB DRAM and 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage. With four PLC inputs and four outputs as well as a RS232 and an Ethernet interface, they can be easily integrated into any existing automation environment. Like all Smart Cameras from Vision Components, the VCBase are designed for rugged industrial environments – due to their robust industrial housing, they resist vibration and shocks.
