1 General Information

Standard and short VC4XXX housing

VC4XXX Smart Camera series rear view

The new VC4XXX Smart Camera generation from Vision Components succeeds the VC20XX product
line. The model variety of the VC20XX range has been extended further – from formerly 6 different
models to 12 (not counting color camera versions or doubling VC20XX serial / Ethernet versions).

In contrast to the VC20XX generation, the VC4XXX cameras are based on 3 different hardware
platforms with different processor performance, interfaces and programming features. This allows
even more to select the right smart camera for every application. The following section includes a
feature overview for all cameras for easier product selection.

The proven industrial housing and connectors of the VC20XX series has been kept for the new model
line. Together with the almost complete software compatibility this will aide the upgrade of existing
applications. For the new “VC Base Family range” it was possible to shorten the camera housing even
further, offering a complete vision system with a very small form factor.

Responding to customer demand, the VC4XXX features both – 100 Mbit Etherne t and an add itiona l
V24 (RS232) Interface. The RS232 interface connects to the Trigger socket. For this reason the
trigger input had to be slightly modified – existing trigger input circuits requires therefore adjustment.

From July 2006 all VC Pr of es siona l and VC Optimum models feature a incremental encoder input
allowing accurate synchronization of image acquisition with moving machinery for instance conveyor
belts.

Please refer to section 6.2 for details. All other interfaces have remained unchanged.

2 Feature Overview Smart Camera Families

This manual describes 3 different Smart Camera families:

1. VC Base Family:
VC4018 and VC4016 Smart Cameras that are based on the VCSBC Hardware. These models
feature an even more compact housing than the VC Professional and Optimum VC Smart
Camera range. Although the VC4016 and VC4018 cameras omit features like the VGA output,
they still incorporate a powerful 400 MHz DSP, opto-isolated digital SPS IO’s, a high speed
trigger as well as 100 Mbit Ethernet and an additional R S232 serial interface. Both cameras
are also available with color sensor (Bayer filter).
In summary: The VC4018 and VC4016 are a very cost efficient solution if certain features are
not required.

2. VC Professional Family:

The VC4038 to VC4068 include all the standard features of a typical VC Smart Camera and
more. These models offer the largest variety of sensor resolutions, frame rates, shutter values
and interfaceability. The latest example is the new high speed encoder interface, that allows
accurate image synchronization with moving equipment. The VC Professional VC40XX range
also supports a number of new software features like internal events.
In summary: The variety and versatility of the VC Professional VC40XX range offers a
solution for almost every application.

3. VC Optimum Family:

The VC44XX feature the 1 GHz Ti C644X processor with 8000MIPS – made for applications
that require the maximum calculation power available in a vision system today. Further
additional features compared with the VC Pro f es s ional Family are: 64 Mbyte DRAM memory,
CCD resolutions of up to 2 mega pixel and frame rates of up to 250 fps (500 fps in binning
mode).

The high speed trigger input of all VC4XXX family allows jitter free taking – even when inspectin g fast
moving objects. As the previous generation the VC4XXX also includes 24 V digital IO’s and the VC
Professional and VC Optimum cameras incorporat e a direct video output.

As with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operation system VCRT allows multi­tasking. 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.

Image acquisition can be done in the camera background. The VC4XXX allow to perform the three
tasks of image capture, image transfer and image processing in parallel, greatly increasing the amount
of processed images per second.

The 1GHz TMS320C64 DSP is one of the fastest DSPs available. It features a RISC-like instruction
set, up to 8 instructions can be executed in parallel, two L1 cache memories (32 Kbytes each) and a
256 kB L2 cache on chip. Its high speed 64-channel DMA controller gives additional performance. The
DSP uses fast external SDRAM as main memory. A flash EPROM provides non-volatile memory.
