1 General Information

VC72XX housing

VC72XX Smart Camera series rear view

The VC72XX Smart Camera series from Vision Components incorporates the VC nano platform in
the well-known Vision Components housing.

Employing CMOS sensors, the image resolution can be changed to the ROI required.

Like with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operating system VCRT allows
multi-tasking. This means for instance that user interface commands can execute in parallel without
stopping the inspection process. It is also possible to transfer live images via TCP/IP using a
background task.

Interfaces include a video output onto a PC via 100MBit Ethernet interface, a high speed trigger input
and output, 12-24 V digital inputs and outputs .

In comparison to the VC nano series, the VC72XX Smart Cameras add a serial RS232 interface.
