Smart vision sensor Vision Components
32fps, RS422, 3200MIPS, 170g

Vision Components' VisiCube camera, which measures only 65 x 45 x 45 mm and weighs 170 g, provides a highly compact image processing solution for industrial environments. The Smart Cameras come complete with measuring lights and an integrated lens. They feature a 400 MHz (3,200 MIPS) processor from Texas Instruments and a 1/4" CCD sensor, which offers a 640 x 480 pixel resolution and a frame rate of 32 fps. The cameras are equipped with 32 MB DRAM and 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage. They are integrated into existing automation environments via an RS422 and an Ethernet interface – the latter also enables live video display on a PC. Standard equipment also includes two digital inputs and four outputs. A robust aluminum and plastic housing provides IP65/67 protection, making VisiCube units suitable for rugged environments. Further accessories, such as external lights, tilted mirrors and protective cases, allow for easy adaptation to specific requirements. Thanks to the Linux-like real time operating system VCRT, which was developed by Vision Components, the intelligent cameras can be freely programmed. With a wider performance range than conventional vision sensors, they carry out sensor-like tasks and execute all image processing routines without an additional PC. They thereby enable automation in applications where conventional, PC-based image processing systems are too costly or too complicated to implement.
