Product-specific terms and abbreviations
The following product-specific abbreviations are used in this

Term/abbrevi­
ation Significance
0-signal Input or output supplies 0 V
1-signal Input or output supplies 24 V
Amplification See sensor amplification
Aperture Opening through which light passes through the lens onto the image converter
surface. The larger the opening or aperture, the more light will reach the
sensor. When the aperture opens, the depth of focus is reduced. The depth of
focus increases the more the aperture is closed (larger f-number). Small aper­
ture openings make longer exposure times necessary. Short exposure times
require larger aperture openings.
Auto MDI-X Recognizes the configuration of the other station and adapts the send and
receive cables of a network connection automatically.
CMOS sensor Optoelectronic sensor which converts light signals into electric signals. In addi­
tion to the purely sensor function, functions for image conversion are integ­
rated directly into the chip, e.g. exposure control and contrast correction.
Depth of focus The spatial area in front of and behind the focused object which is still sharp
(also known as sharpness). The depth of focus depends on the focal length of
the lens and the set aperture. Short focal lengths with small aperture openings
result in greater sharpness.
Ethernet Physical protocol and network for connecting various devices.
Exposure time The time during which the CMOS sensor is subjected to light during recording.
The longer the exposure time, the more light will penetrate. The choice of ex­
posure time depends, for example, on the movement speed, the available light
and the light sensitivity of the sensor (see also sensor amplification). With mov­
ing objects, excessive exposure times result in blurred pictures.
