Product Description:

The VSS112Q11.031P-000 is a smart vision sensor manufactured by B & R Automation and supplied within the VS Smart Sensors series. It combines optics, illumination, image capture, and onboard evaluation in a single package, so it can identify, inspect, or measure features directly on the machine without an external PC. In automated lines, the device uses an S-mount interface and occupies minimal installation space while delivering integrated machine-vision feedback for real-time control tasks.

Image acquisition starts with a 1.3 MP CMOS array that captures the detail needed for code reading or dimensional checks. Motion-intensive processes are supported by a maximum output of 90 fps, which helps keep blur low when parts move quickly beneath the field of view. The optical path has a diagonal angle of 74°, giving coverage for wider conveyors, while a fixed focal length of 6 mm balances working distance against magnification. The lens is protected by glass with an anti-reflective coating and is paired with an LED lens type 1 wide-beam diffuser to maintain contrast across the scene. Line-sensor suitability is not specified, and the model performs one active vision function at a time.

Onboard evaluation is handled by a Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core processor clocked at 800 MHz. It also includes 512 kB of L2 cache and 1 GB of RAM to run pattern matching and thresholding routines without external resources. Illumination is delivered by 16 LEDs (4 segments with 4 multicolored LEDs each), and the integrated driver can cycle the diodes in R / G / B / Lime modes to improve contrast on different materials. This arrangement supports the standard preprocessing version used for integrated machine-vision tasks.
