| Maximum Frame Rate | 5.9 FPS at 5480 × 3648 BayerRG8 |
High-Resolution Machine Vision Imaging
The 21MP resolution makes this industrial camera suitable for applications requiring a large field of view while retaining sufficient image detail. Typical tasks include electronic component inspection, PCB inspection, character recognition, positioning and product appearance inspection.
The camera provides a dynamic range of 65.5 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio of 38.5 dB. It also supports 12-bit image data for applications that require more grayscale information during image processing.
1GigE Industrial Camera with Long-Distance Transmission
The camera uses a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet interface with an RJ45 connector. A standard network cable can provide a transmission distance of up to 100 metres without a repeater, making the camera suitable for larger machines and production lines where the camera is installed away from the industrial computer.
As a GigE Vision camera, PMSCCN2008VPH2 can be integrated into compatible machine vision software and industrial image-processing platforms.
PoE, Power Supply and Industrial I/O
PMSCCN2008VPH2 supports both PoE power and a DC 12–24 V power input. Its typical power consumption is below 4 W at 24 VDC, helping reduce heat generation inside compact equipment.
The camera includes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one non-isolated GPIO. It supports hardware triggering, software triggering and flash output for synchronising the camera with sensors, controllers and machine vision lighting.
| Data Interface | 1000 Mbps Ethernet |
|---|---|
| Network Connector | RJ45 |
| I/O Connector | 6-Pin Industrial Circular Connector |
| Power Supply | DC 12–24 V ±10% / PoE |
| Typical Power Consumption | Less Than 4 W at 24 VDC |
| Trigger Mode | Hardware Trigger / Software Trigger |
C-Mount Industrial Camera
The camera uses a standard C-mount interface and can be matched with compatible FA lenses, fixed focal length lenses, telecentric lenses and machine vision zoom lenses.
Lens selection should be based on the 1-inch sensor format, 2.4 μm pixel size, required field of view, working distance and inspection accuracy. A lens with insufficient image-circle coverage may cause corner shading, while insufficient optical resolution may limit the benefit of the 21MP camera resolution.
Image Processing and ISP Functions
The built-in ISP functions help users optimise color and image appearance for different inspection environments.
- White balance
- Color temperature correction
- Contrast and gamma adjustment
- LUT and sharpness adjustment
- Noise reduction and black level correction
- Flat field and defective pixel correction
- Horizontal and vertical image mirroring
