HIKROBOT MV-CU050-30GC V2 — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, AR0521, GigE, Color, 24 fps

The MV-CU050-30GC V2 is the 5 MP color GigE member of the cost-effective CU series, capturing 2592 × 1944 pixels from the AR0521 rolling-shutter CMOS sensor at up to 24 fps full-frame. The 1/2.5-inch sensor has a 2.2 μm × 2.2 μm pixel, 37 dB SNR and 63 dB dynamic range. On the datasheet this model is listed with CE, RoHS and KC certification and with PoE as an optional power configuration.
The camera runs from 9–24 VDC, PoE is offered as an option and typical consumption is 1.81 W at 12 VDC. The Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) link is Fast Ethernet compatible and can be pulled up to 100 meters without a repeater; the 6-pin P7 connector provides an opto-isolated input (Line 0) for hardware triggering, an opto-isolated output (Line 1) for a lighting or PLC signal and a bi-directional non-isolated line (Line 2), with software trigger and free-run also supported. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount housing weighs about 100 g and works with third-party software built on GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
Color at 2592 × 1944 suits work that needs fine detail over a fairly wide field, such as verifying component color and polarity marks in electronics assembly, checking color sequence in wire harnesses, and inspecting tablet color and fill in pharmaceutical blisters. At 24 fps, stationary or slowly advancing parts are captured comfortably. This version can be chosen for projects that call for CE, RoHS and KC certification.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
