HIKROBOT MV-CS016-11GM — Area Scan Cameras
1.6 MP, Sony IMX273, GigE, Mono, 78.2 fps

As the 1.6 MP monochrome option on the GigE side of the CS series, the MV-CS016-11GM combines the Sony® IMX273 with a second-generation design. Its 74 dB dynamic range is wider than that of its siblings MV-CS016-10GM (65.4 dB) and MV-CS016-10UM (71.1 dB), complemented by 41 dB SNR and 0–24 dB gain. The 1/2.9-inch global shutter CMOS with 3.45 μm × 3.45 μm pixels reaches 78.2 fps at 1440 × 1080; exposure runs 1–14 μs in UltraShort mode and 15 μs to 10 s in standard mode.
The Gigabit Ethernet link (1000 Mbit/s) works over a single cable up to 100 m and is compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) networks; with PoE, power comes down the same cable, or the camera can be fed 9–24 VDC, drawing typically 2.3 W at 12 VDC. The 6-pin P7 connector hosts the opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional non-isolated Line 2. Gain, exposure, LUT, gamma and white balance are adjustable automatically or manually; the 29 × 29 × 42 mm, roughly 100 g body mounts from four sides and links to third-party software through GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam.

Where it is used
The wide dynamic range limits detail loss in scenes where very bright and dark regions share one frame, such as weld seams and laser marking; the monochrome sensor delivers direct greyscale data for OCR, code reading and dimensional measurement. At 78.2 fps it covers medium-speed assembly and packaging lines in long-distance, PoE-fed installations. Exposure down to 1 μs captures parts in motion without blur on rotary tables and fast feeders.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
