Product Description:

The VSS122F11.031P-000 is a smart vision unit produced by B&R Automation within the VS Smart Sensors series. It combines optics, illumination, processing, and I/O in a single enclosure so that inspection or guidance tasks can be added without an external industrial PC. The product is intended for integrated machine vision, letting a controller receive position or quality data directly over the automation network.

The CMOS imager captures scenes at a native resolution of 1.3 MP, providing sufficient pixel density for presence checks and part localization. A maximum rate of 90 fps lets the sensor keep up with fast indexing conveyors or rotary tables. The fixed lens has a focal length of 6 mm, and, together with its 1/1.8 in. format, yields a diagonal field of view of 74°; this wide coverage reduces the need for external optics in confined spaces. Vision logic is configured for one active vision function, matching applications that only require a single inspection step such as code reading, blob analysis, or edge detection. Anti-reflective front glass limits stray reflections, and LED lens type 1 provides a wide beam profile that floods the scene evenly.

Onboard processing uses a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core running at 800 MHz, and the system is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 RAM so image preprocessing can execute without buffering delays. White illumination comes from 16 LEDs arranged in four individually switchable segments, allowing directional lighting to suppress glare or enhance contrast. The white LEDs emit across the visible spectrum, making the unit compatible with standard color filters when higher contrast is needed. S-mount mechanics simplify lens changes, and the housing uses the standard variant configuration, so preprocessing performance matches the baseline models in the product range.
