Product Description:

The VSS112F21.052P-000 is a member of the VS Smart Sensors series manufactured by B&R Automation. As an integrated machine vision smart sensor, it combines imaging, preprocessing, and network interfaces in a compact S-mount housing to execute a single vision function directly on the production line. The device captures images, analyzes them onboard, and transmits results over deterministic fieldbus links, making it suitable for presence checks, code reading, or position verification tasks in automated equipment. Because image evaluation takes place inside the housing, the system can reduce the amount of raw data that must be sent to higher-level controls.

Internally, the sensor runs on a Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core CPU clocked at 800 MHz. The two cores share 512 kB of L2 cache and have access to 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, giving the standard preprocessing variant enough headroom for filtering, thresholding, and blob analysis before any data leaves the device. Two deterministic Ethernet ports provide communication, and the dual interface uses 2x POWERLINK. This arrangement lets the sensor handle real-time machine communication while also supporting parameter changes without interrupting the vision task. The electronics correspond to the standard variant option and keep the performance level used across the VS Smart Sensors range.

Optically, the unit uses a 12 mm F4 2/3-inch lens secured in the S-mount, delivering a native resolution of 1.3 MP across a 37° horizontal field of view. The glass front window carries a polarizing filter to reduce glare, and imaging can be updated at 90 fps, which suits tracking of fast-moving parts on conveyors. Illumination is integrated: a ring of 16 LEDs arranged in four individually addressable segments emits white light through a type-2 lens for even scene lighting. Segmented control also helps the sensor adapt contrast when surfaces reflect light differently across a part or package. The design cannot be combined with UV emitters or a type-1 LED lens, supports only one active vision function per job, and is not suitable for line-sensor modes.
