HIKROBOT MV-CS060-10GM-PRO — Area Scan Cameras
6 MP, Sony IMX178, GigE, Mono, 19.1 fps (30.7 fps in compression mode)

What sets the MV-CS060-10GM-PRO apart in the 6 MP GigE class is its ability to reach 30.7 fps at 3072 × 2048 when image compression mode is enabled; with compression off, the standard 19.1 fps applies. The Sony® IMX178 rolling shutter CMOS sensor (1/1.8″, 2.4 μm pixels) outputs monochrome 8/10/12-bit data with a 41.3 dB SNR and 71.5 dB dynamic range. As the PRO member of the CS series small and medium resolution family, it also carries a noise reduction function.
Compression mode makes the higher frame rate available over the same Gigabit Ethernet link, which is compatible with Fast Ethernet and needs no repeater for up to 100 meters. The 6-pin Hirose connector consolidates the 9–24 VDC supply and three lines (Line 0 opto-isolated input, Line 1 opto-isolated output, Line 2 bi-directional non-isolated) in one place; the PoE option removes the separate power cable, and typical consumption is 2.4 W at 12 VDC. The roughly 100 g C-mount housing with mounting holes on four sides is rated IP40, and GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance simplifies integration into existing software infrastructure.

Where it is used
The 30.7 fps of compression mode brings 6 MP monochrome imaging to faster lines: cap and mouth inspection on high-throughput bottling and cartoning lines, and simultaneous position and missing-part checks on several items moving quickly along a belt fall into this class. The noise reduction function improves the stability of edge detection and surface defect analysis in low-light or short-exposure captures. In the standard 19.1 fps mode it can serve conventional 6 MP measurement and code reading tasks.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
