HIKROBOT MV-CS050-90GM — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, GMAX3405, GigE, Mono, 24.2 fps

The MV-CS050-90GM is the 5 MP monochrome model in the CS series GigE family that uses the GMAX3405 sensor; in 2/3-inch format with a 3.4 μm pixel pitch and global shutter it delivers 24.2 fps at 2448 × 2048 in Mono 8. Its distinguishing trait is exposure flexibility: besides the standard 5 μs–10 s range there is an UltraShort exposure mode operating between 2 μs and 4 μs, and gain can be opened up to 0–24 dB. With 39.4 dB SNR and 66 dB dynamic range, this version, listed as 2nd Basic in the product name, adds a different sensor alternative to the family’s 5 MP GigE options.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface (1000 Mbit/s, Fast Ethernet compatible) offers 100 m of transmission without a relay and can be powered over a single cable thanks to PoE; typical consumption is 2.2 W at 12 VDC, and external 9–24 VDC supply goes through the P7 connector. The same 6-pin connector holds the opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional Line 2, and gain, exposure, contrast and Gamma can be set automatically or manually. The 29 × 29 × 42 mm, roughly 100 g body comes with mounting holes on four sides, and GigE Vision V2.0 plus GenICam compliance guarantees standard software support.

Where it is used
UltraShort exposure of a few microseconds is meant for situations where a normal frame rate is enough but every frame must be extremely sharp: capturing high-speed rotating shafts, spray or droplet formation, and the instantaneous position of pneumatic mechanisms without blur. At 24.2 fps and 5 MP those sharp frames combine with dimensional measurement and defect detection. With PoE and 100 m of cable reach, the camera can be placed inside a test rig or machine enclosure independently of the computer.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
