HIKROBOT MV-SC3050XC-16M-WBN — Smart Cameras & Vision Sensors

The MV-SC3050XC-16M-WBN, part of HIKROBOT’s SC3000X series, is a 5.0-megapixel (2432×2048) color vision sensor. Its CMOS global shutter sensor delivers a 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixel size and a 1/1.45″ optical format, with frame rates up to 40 fps, a 0-15 dB gain range and exposure times from 6 µs to 1 s; Mono 8 and RGB 8 pixel formats are supported. On this model the M12-mount, mechanically (motorised) focused lens has a 16 mm focal length — the longest in the family, chosen for a narrow field of view and long working distance to resolve small targets or distant detail clearly. The lens cover combines fully transparent, polarised and diffuser layers, with a standard focused white light source and optional red/blue/infrared sources.

Able to store and import/export up to 32 programs, this model connects to PLC/SCADA systems via RS-232, TCP, UDP, FTP, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC/SLMP, FINS and Keyence KV over 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet; on the body, a 12-pin M12 connector provides 3 opto-isolated inputs (LINE0/1/2), 3 opto-isolated outputs (LINE3/4/5) and one RS-232 line, and the top button can also trigger the unit. Vision tools include point-to-point, point-to-line, contrast, greyscale area, pitch, width, average brightness, line-to-line angle, colour measurement, colour area, diameter and line-angle measurements plus blob/edge/contour presence-absence checks. Unlike the -S family’s fixed compact body, this standard model offers a flat-angle (80.1×43×44.3 mm) or right-angle (58.5×43×65.4 mm) mounting choice, a 360° indicator light, weighs about 190 g, and is IP67-rated — a step above the -S family’s IP65; power supply is 24 VDC with typical consumption of 6.5 W.

Specifications

Key features

• IP67 protection. IP67 protection allows confident use in harsh industrial environments.

Where it is used

As the longest focal length in the family, 16 mm makes this model well suited to inspection points where the camera must sit some distance from the target or where small details need to be resolved clearly from far away. The flat- or right-angle body option lets the camera be fixed at different angles on stations with limited equipment space, while the IP67 rating gives extra resilience over the -S family in dusty or wash-down environments.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
