IDS Imaging Development Systems has released its GigE uEye CP industrial camera featuring Powered over Ethernet (PoE), which renders a separate power supply cable obsolete. At just 29 x 29 x 41mm, the camera is one of the smallest currently existing models to feature PoE technology. It offers a fast Gigabit Ethernet interface that allows cable lengths of up to 100 metres. With its robust magnesium housing, screw-on connectors, and optically isolated in- and outputs, it is especially designed for use in industrial environments.
The model range offers a powerful alternative to analogue cameras. The series will launch with three models featuring CMOS sensors covering a wide range of applications. At 5 megapixels, the UI-5480CP offers the highest resolution. The UI-5220CP is equipped with a WVGA chip capable of 100fps, while the UI-5240CP provides a global shutter sensor with 1.3 megapixels and 50fps. It is particularly sensitive, and equally suited to fast inspection tasks and microscopy. The other technical specifications are identical to the familiar GigE uEye SE series.
The camera has a robust magnesium housing with screw-on connectors, optically decoupled in- and outputs, and an additional galvanically isolated supply connection for a voltage of 12-24V.
