Product Description:
The VSS112821.M5DP-000 is a smart sensor produced by B & R Automation and delivered within the VS Smart Sensors series. Classified in the Integrated Machine Vision product range, it serves as a compact autonomous camera that executes one active vision function directly on the production line. By integrating imaging, illumination, and processing in a single S-mount housing, the device simplifies inspection, identification, and guidance tasks in industrial automation systems. Because the camera, lighting, and processor are housed together, it can be mounted close to the process without requiring a separate vision head and external illumination assembly.
The on-board Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual-core processor runs at 800 MHz and is supported by 1 GB of RAM, giving the unit enough bandwidth for real-time preprocessing in the standard variant. Its 2 cores divide acquisition and analysis tasks, keeping latency low for the integrated smart sensor workflow. Image data is captured at a native resolution of 1.3 MP. At this pixel count, the sensor still sustains a frame rate of 90 fps, allowing high-speed rejection or tracking on fast-moving lines. Local processing helps limit the amount of image data that must be sent upstream, and the fixed macro optics suit installations where the working distance remains stable from cycle to cycle.
A ring of 16 LEDs arranged in four individually addressable segments supplies red illumination, and the emitters peak at 632 nm for consistent contrast on standard targets. Segment control lets the lighting pattern be adjusted to reduce glare or emphasize surface features without adding an external light source. The beam exits through a plastic diffuser front glass and a type-2 LED lens; operation with IR emitters or a type-1 lens is not permitted under the listed restriction. The optical axis opens to a 37° field and is stabilized by the S-mount interface. Cached image fragments are buffered in a 512 kB L2 store before transfer to the host, and the unit operates with area frames rather than line-sensor capture.
