The VC4018 is an extremely fast intelligent compact camera and one of the fastest intelligent cameras all over with a computational power of 3200 MIPS rivalling a 2.6 GHZ Pentium. It has 32 MB DRAM, 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage.
It can acquire full frame 640 x 480 pixel at 16 frames per second!
The own internal operating system ''VCRT'' of the VC4018 is multitasking. This means that multiple processes can be executed in parallel.
It has a video output onto a PC via 100MBit Ethernet interface and also a High Speed Trigger input with absolute constant capture delay, which allows absolutely jitter-free image acquisition even at very high speed processes.
And whereas a standard progressive scan camera gets a trigger, starts exposure and then reads out the pixel data, the VC4018 has optimized the image acquisition process so that exposure and readout are in parallel.
The VC4018 offers thus an extremely inexpensive entrance into the world of the high performance intelligent cameras.
All Vision Components cameras are built for industrial applications. They are insensitive to shock and vibration, and have multiple I/O lines for direct control of external equipment. For more complex control tasks, they can easily be interfaced to a PLC.
