HIKROBOT MV-CS050-20GM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, OnSemi XGS5000, GigE, Mono, 22.7 fps

The MV-CS050-20GM is the Basic-tier 5 MP GigE monochrome camera of the CS series, using the OnSemi XGS5000 global-shutter CMOS with 3.2 μm pixels in a 2/3″ format. Its 2592 × 2048 resolution gives a slightly wider frame than other 5 MP models in the family, at 22.7 fps with 39.6 dB SNR and 66 dB dynamic range. Gain spans 0 to 18 dB, and a contrast ratio function is provided to fine-tune image clarity.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface (Fast Ethernet compatible) allows cable runs of up to 100 meters without relay, and PoE support means a single network cable can carry both data and power; otherwise 9–24 VDC is supplied through the 6-pin P7 connector with a typical 2.5 W draw at 12 VDC. The P7 connector also provides the opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and non-isolated bi-directional Line 2. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm C-mount housing weighs about 100 g, offers mounting holes on four sides, and conforms to GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
With 2592 × 2048 mono resolution and a modest 22.7 fps, this camera targets applications where field of view and detail matter more than speed: dimensional measurement of parts, inspection of surface defects and completeness checks on assemblies. The 100 m GigE reach and PoE make it suitable for cameras distributed along a long line or mounted far from the control cabinet.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
