The CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX
i5 CL
The CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX
i5 CL is one of the latest and most modern products from the
‚industrial image processing CMOS camera‘ range of KAMERA WERK DRESDEN GmbH.
The camera can be considered a logically
consistent development of the well-known,
universally applicable predecessor model
LOGLUX
HDRC4.
Main features of the CMOS industrial camera
LOGLUX
i5 CL:
•
CMOS camera with free pixel selection
(
progressive scan
) and CameraLink
™
data
interface
•
Approx. 36 images/second (full frame), higher rates when a smaller frame size is used (up to
approx. 1500 images/second are possible)
•
Resolution: 1280x1024
pixels
, 10-bit greyscale
•
>100 dB contrast/dynamic range
•
Digital image data interface
•
Possibility to pre-process the image data by means of the integral LUTs (
look-up tables
)
•
Spectral working range from 400nm to 1000nm
•
Sturdy continuously cast aluminum casing with C-type lens mount
•
Possibility to configure and control the camera, and transfer the image data, by means of a cable
connected to the host system (PC).
The CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX
i5 CL is based on
a universal hardware concept which comprises a CMOS
large-area image sensor (FS), pre-processing unit (VV),
controller (SE), data interface (DS) and operating voltage
supply (SV).
In the pre-processing unit, the image data from the CMOS
image sensor can be linked up in real time with one of
three possible user-specific LUTs (
look-up tables
). In the
process, the image data can be replaced by function
values, e.g. arithmetic operations. By defining a greyscale
threshold in a LUT, for example, the camera can be made
to deliver the 'suitable' image material for a edge
recognition.
The camera firmware can be updated via an additional RS232 interface. Voltage is supplied from a
plug-type power supply unit (24V/6W; comes with the unit) or an SPS DIN rail power supply unit (24V
±
10%).
The CMOS large-area sensor IBIS5
The sensor element used in the CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX
i5 CL is a type IBIS5 CMOS
image sensor made by Fillfactory (Mechelen/Belgium).
It is a photo-optical component of the latest CMOS image sensor generation. Being a typical SOC
(
system-on-chip
), the sensor does not only accommodate the sensor (
pixel
) elements proper, but also
all peripheral analog and digital components required to deliver a noise-corrected 10-bit greyscale
value as an output signal.
Main features of the sensor are its high resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels (XGA resolution), the wide
dynamic (contrast) range of up to 100dB, the integrated FPN (
fixed pattern noise
) correction of the raw
image data, and two shutter modes (
rolling/curtain shutter
and
synchronous/snapshot shutter
).
As regards the conversion process, the IBIS5 is an integrating, photo-optical sensor.
For more technical data please refer to the latest IBIS5 data sheet.
The following paragraphs describe selected functions of the sensor. Understanding these functions is
imperative to the proper use of the various functional units.
