10GIGE VISION CAMERA
The Mars 10GigE series is an industrial 10GigE vision camera, with a 10GigE interface. This is the best interface for high resolution and / or, high speed imaging where cable length is more than 5 meters. 10GigE is 10x faster then a normal GigE ethernet camera and 2x faster then USB3.
This 10 GigE camera model is interesting for you when your application complies with the following conditions:
- An industrial highspeed or highresolution camera
- Maximum cable length of 100 meters using cat6a or higher cable
- Inexpensive and easy installation of cables
- Only one cable is required to connect the camera
- Dimensions are: 60x60x54mm
The camera requires a 10GigE framegrabber. If you computer does not have a 10GigE port, we recommend this framegrabber GRAB-D-PCIe4-10GPOE-1X1X. If more details are required, the manual can be consulted.
INDUSTRIAL 10GIGE CAMERA WITH POE
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for 10GigE is designed to provide both power and data communication over a standard Ethernet cable. This reduces the amount of cables and installation time, in applications that do not require a hardware trigger or I/O. When I/O is required in an application we advise to supply the camera via a I/O connector. The camera’s power usage is larger when using Power over Ethernet than via the I/O connector. The camera will generate extra heat when using PoE. The advantage of PoE is that installation is easier because less cables are required.
COLOR INDUSTRIAL CAMERA
An industrial color camera makes use of a Bayer pattern to produce a colored image. The RGB value of every pixel is being calculated by taking the value of a pixel, in combination with all the values of neighboring pixels. This results into less sharp images than those of a monochrome camera.
Due to the RGB filter on the pixels, every single pixel, considering white light, captures on average 66% less photons than a monochrome camera. Which makes a color camera less light sensitive than a monochrome one. To compensate this, the following options are available:
- Increase the amount of light
- Increase the gain
- Increase shutter speed / exposure time
- Select a more light sensitive sensor
- Select a more light sensitive lens
Industrial color cameras are used in applications where color information is important.
MTBF, WARRANTY & PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
Each year, Daheng Imaging produces more than 100.000 industrial cameras according to the highest quality standards. The mean time between failure (MTBF) is more than 400.000 hours (45 years, 24/7). The industrial cameras are certified by TÜV Rheinland and have a 3 year warranty. After market introduction, every camera model is available for at least 7 years. Most cameras have a much longer product life cycle. For more information about our product life cycle management, check this article.
