Product Description:

The VSC523R25.05BP-000 from B&R Automation belongs to the VS Smart Sensors series. As a smart camera within the Integrated machine vision range, it merges imaging, illumination, and processing to verify shape, position, or code quality on the machine. The compact housing installs easily in automated lines where space is limited and inspection feedback must reach the controller with minimal latency.

The camera captures images at a native resolution of 5.3 MP and sustains a throughput of 43 fps, allowing several vision functions to run simultaneously without dropping frames. An onboard Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad-core processor clocks at 800 MHz; the architecture supplies 4 processing threads, and an inference accelerator handles preprocessing for deep learning tools. A dedicated memory pool of 2 GB RAM supports feature extraction while the smart sensor maintains deterministic timing. The S-mount interface accepts the supplied 12 mm F4 2/3″ lens, and line-sensor suitability lets the device replace external scan cameras on conveyor applications. Images enter the pipeline through LED lens type 2 optics, while the enclosure retains the compact proportions expected in this product group.

The optical path provides a field angle of 37° when the factory-installed focal length of 12 mm is used. Uniform scene illumination is produced by 16 LEDs arranged in four multicolored segments; selectable R, B, IR, or white output is paired with plastic front glass that carries an anti-reflective coating to minimize flare. A 1 MB L2 cache further reduces memory latency during convolution operations, and the deep learning variant uses this cache when inference tasks are requested. The LED assembly is limited to standard lens type 2 hardware, so it cannot be combined with type 1 lenses. The sensor follows the integrated machine vision workflow and supports the declared deep learning variant for advanced classification or segmentation duties.
