Product Description:

The VSS112002.03DP-000 smart sensor is part of the VS Smart Sensors series from B&R Automation. It combines image capture and onboard processing so the PLC receives evaluated results instead of raw image data. That approach reduces network traffic and suits assembly stations, packaging lines, and pick and place cells that need a focused vision task.

Processing is driven by an 800 MHz CPU built on the Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core platform. The dual core design lets image preparation run alongside communication tasks, which helps maintain responsive cycle times during machine operation. A shared 512 kB L2 cache reduces delays when frequently used data is accessed, and 1 GB of RAM provides room for image arrays and lookup tables. Together, these resources support acquisition rates up to 165 fps for monitoring fast moving targets.

The sensor records images at 1.3 MP, providing enough pixel density for inspection work that requires clear feature separation. Its fixed focus lens uses a focal length of 6 mm and fits a compact S-mount, which keeps lens changes straightforward when replacements are needed. A plastic diffuser helps soften glare from external lighting, while the housing does not include integrated LED illumination so separate lighting can be selected for the application. The unit supports line scan triggering and ships as the standard variant with one active vision function enabled.
