Compact camera crams in the intelligence
Measuring just 60 x 60 x 15mm, the SBC50 single-board industrial smart camera is ideal for use in equipment or environments where space is at a premium.
It has a 400MHz processor from Texas Instruments and a 1/4in CCD sensor, which offers a 640 x 480 pixel resolution and a frame rate of 32 frames a second.
The cameras are equipped with 32Mbyte DRAM and 4Mbyte 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 aluminium 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.
The VCRT Linux-like real-time operating system allows the intelligent cameras to 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 enable automation in applications where conventional, PC-based image processing systems are too costly or too complicated to implement.
