The new eneo SC Series breaks new ground in the machine vision segment. These smart cameras fully suit industrial needs as they offer maximum flexibility: the optimised architecture on the Linux operating system in these very compact digital cameras allows standard industrial image processing software packages to be used. But tailored solutions can also be used for this camera with the powerful image processing API and a highly optimised toolchain.
The most forward-looking feature is the option of installing application-specific image preprocessing algorithms in the freely accessible Spartan-3 FPGA in order to keep processor computing power free for other tasks.
The colour and monochrome cameras with VGA resolution are available with a CSmount connector – or – another highlight – with integrated optics and illumination, and can therefore be configured to other applications than those in automated production control. High-resolution cameras with 1280x1024 pixels are available in colour and monochrome versions with a CS-mount connection.
Its compact design (45x45x85 mm), low weight (approx. 184 g), extremely low power consumption of less than 2 Watts and the robust housing (protection rate up to IP67) allow integration into existing applications. Scan rates of 185 frames per second in full frame mode and a maximum 1000 frames per second in ROI mode (VGA model) cater for the high manufacturing speeds of modern factory automation machinery.
Several cameras can be networked and time synchronised over an Ethernet port. Direct transmission to the PLC is also possible over Ethernet, CAN bus (exclusive of SC-CVC 02 and SC-MVC 02) or simple switch contacts.
The cameras were developed for the rough environment of machine vision applications. As they are highly reliable and robust they can also be used in numerous applications beyond the field of automation.
Technology that impresses: Compact design with integrated electronics for ass
essment of image data. Small dimensions and low weight allow simple integration into existing systems.
Performance that impresses: Extremely high application-specific performance through access to hardware-related routines and option to optimise image preprocessing in the FPGA.
Freedom that impresses: Open system architecture and freely accessible Linux operating system makes software applications expandable and interchangeable.
