Vision Components has introduced a range of intelligent single board cameras for industrial applications, specially designed for OEM customers. Delivered without a housing, these cameras are suitable even for demanding tasks. Due to the compact dimensions (60 x 80 x 35mm), they can be easily integrated into plants and machines. The new single board cameras, VCSBC4016 and VCSBC4018, are available as colour and monochrome models. Both feature a 400MHz processor from Texas Instruments, which has a computing power of 3,200 MIPS.
The models have a resolution of 1,024 x 768 and 640 x 480 pixels, respectively, recording 16 or 32fps. The smart cameras come equipped with 4Mb Flash EPROM and 32Mb SDRAM for program and data storage. An Ethernet interface enables live video display on a PC and serves to integrate the camera into existing automation environments. Additionally, the cameras feature two digital inputs, four outputs and eight TTL I/Os. A high-speed trigger input enables jitter-free image recording even at very high reading frequencies.
