VC20XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VC20XX Smart Cameras 1 General Information The VC20xx Series smart cameras are compact, light-weight black-and-white or color video cameras with video memory and an image processor. They integrate a high-resolution CCD sensor with one of the fastest 32 bit image-processing signal processors (TMS320C6211).
Low speed shutter up to 10 seconds Programmable gain and offset 24V Power Supply The following table shows the different features of each camera model: VC2038 VC2065 V2065C VC2066 VC2068 VC20XX SELECTION VC2028 VC2048E TABLE VC2038E VC2065E VC2065CE VC2066E VC2068E Sony 1/3" Progressive Scan CCD640x480 pixel Kodak 1/3"...

(optional) Size: 110x50x36mm+foot/ Weight: 488g 1) The use of the VC2028 is recommended for imaging static (non moving) objects only. 2) If ordering a camera with Ethernet interface please add the suffix "/E" to the camera name (i.e. VC38/E, VC2065/EC).
VC20XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VC20XX Smart Cameras 2 Basic Structure The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One or two channels of video output are digitized. An input lookup-table is available for basic pixel-preprocessing. The image is stored in SDRAM memory using one of the 16 DMA channels (EDMA).
VC20XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VC20XX Smart Cameras 3.1.1 C6SEN084 This board takes the picture. It is used in the VC2028, VC2038 and VC2038/E The CCD sensor 1/3" SONY ICX424AL (B/W) is used. The board controls the CCD sensor and processes the analog signal.

It is used in the VC2068 and VC2068/E The CCD sensor ICX205AL (B/W) is used.
VC20XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VC20XX Smart Cameras The diverse features of this board (high-speed and low-speed shutter, external trigger, etc.) are configured via software. For the exact setting of the configuration, refer to the description of the configuration program in the software documentation.
VC20XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VC20XX Smart Cameras 4 PLC I/O Signals The camera has four optically decoupled inputs and four decoupled outputs for controlling machines and processes. An I/O processor is responsible for the handling of the PLC I/O signals. The PLC-compatible inputs (24-V level, the positive signal is connected) include input protection circuits.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to limit the question of electromagnetic compatibility to just one device or component. The entire system must always be considered. Thus, the accessories such as cables, power supplies, etc., play a significant role for the VC series cameras.
The following libraries and aids are also available: Real-time operating system for VC cameras with control of video I/O signals, control of serial interface and of PLC I/O signals, file management system for flash EPROM and Multi Media Card.

The IR filter can be removed if required without loosing Vision Component’s manufacturers warranty. In this case, special care must be taken not to damage the CCD sensor.
