M30 : obsolete model

Smallest smart cameraSmart camera

Status: obsolete: newer, faster, cheaper models available instead:

  • Smart cameraM40   (same features)
  • Smart cameraM50   (same features w. 640x480 progr. scan CCD)
  • SBC50 (open frame 640x480 prog. scan CCD, OEM LOWEST cost)
  • VC2028 (high speed, 1200MIPS DSP, 640x480, moderate cost)

 

 

Just to make it clear WHO's the world's smallest smart camera...

...in a rugged 30mm diameter case: CMOS sensor, DSP processor, grabber, I/O's, lens and LED light source, serial port!

PLEASE NOTE: model with limited availability.HP is discontinuing the CMOS sensor employed; it will thus be possible to order unlimited quantities through July 2003. After that term, it will supplied only as long as stock lasts (approx. 250 available as of may 27 2003)

An innovative machine vision sensor with exceptionally small size and unbelievably low cost: Low cost

Details for this model:

  • 640x480 1/3" CMOS sensor, 60dB dynamic range, B/W & COLOR
  • NO on board RAM
  • 1/3" 640x480 CMOS sensor, dyn range 60dB, B/W e COLOR
  • Random pixel access and partial image scanning.
  • Continuous integration (rolling snap) or progressive scan.
  • Electronic shutter (0.5 µsec to 4 sec, 0.5 µsec steps)
  • 8-10bit AD conversion, programmable gain.
  • 12frames/sec full resolution, proportionally higher speed for partial images / subsampling (33fps @ subsampling 4:1)


A rugged, extremely small, standalone machine vision sensor you can use as easily as a photocell: smallest footprint and very low cost.

Based on a CMOS sensor, M30 provides the peculiar advantages of this technology: very wide dynamic range (60dB) for high contrast images, partial image readout and pixel subsampling.

For instance, M30 can emulate a line scan camera (640 pixel), achieving 2000 lines/second.

A video output is not provided: a pushbutton and red/green/amber status LEDs for the I/Os are available. A built in LED projector can visualize the field of view in order to support easy setup and focusing.

On board RAM is limited to that provided by the DSP (16Kw/16bit DMEM + 16K/24b PMEM); 512K non-volatile Flash memory are provided for programs and parameters.

ALSO AVAILABLE:

  • Intelligent cameraM40: same as M30, but with on board RAM
