Information About IS5100-C11

The IS5100-C11 is a high-performance vision system from the In-Sight 5000 series, designed to provide precise and reliable image acquisition and processing for industrial automation tasks. Manufactured with a focus on durability and performance, this vision system is ideal for use in various industrial environments requiring advanced vision-based control, inspection, measurement, and identification.

The IS5100-C11 offers image acquisition capabilities with a 24-bit color depth at a rapid 60 full frames per second. This fast frame rate and color depth make it suitable for high-speed production environments where real-time image processing and analysis are critical. The device's resolution of 640x480 pixels, combined with a ⅓-inch CCD sensor, ensures high-quality image capture, allowing for accurate inspection and detailed monitoring of production processes.

Built for harsh industrial settings, the IS5100-C11 operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) and is designed to withstand operating humidity levels of up to 95% without condensation. With an IP67 ingress protection rating (when the appropriate lens cover is installed), the device is resistant to dust and water ingress, making it suitable for challenging environments where exposure to these elements could otherwise affect equipment performance. Its durability is further enhanced by its ability to withstand vibration levels up to 10 G (from 10 to 510 Hz) and shocks of up to 80 G, both compliant with IEC 68-2-6 and IEC 68-2-27 standards, respectively. These ratings ensure that the IS5100-C11 can handle rigorous industrial conditions, including shipping and storage, without compromising its functionality.

Memory capabilities include 32 MB of non-volatile flash memory for data storage and 64 MB of image processing memory. These memory features allow the vision system to handle complex processing tasks and store essential data without relying on external systems, contributing to the device’s overall efficiency and reducing the need for constant network access. Additionally, the system supports unlimited storage via remote network devices, offering flexibility for long-term data storage.

The IS5100-C11’s lightweight design, weighing 350 grams (12.3 oz) with the lens cover installed but without the lens, enhances its portability and ease of installation in various industrial setups. The die-cast aluminum housing provides robust protection against physical impacts and environmental factors, ensuring that the device remains reliable and functional throughout its operational lifetime. With lens cover installed, the dimensions of the device are 83.3 mm x 123.2 mm x 61.4 mm, while without the lens cover, it measures 43.5 mm x 123.2 mm x 61.4 mm (including the thread guard), allowing for compact installation even in tight spaces.

To operate the IS5100-C11, a 24 VDC power supply is required, capable of delivering at least 600 mA continuously. The power supply must meet UL or NRTL certification standards, and the device should have a maximum power rating of less than 100 VA. The power source must also comply with Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation in industrial environments.

For installation, the vision system must be connected to the Ethernet and breakout cables, with the In-Sight Explorer software installed on a networked laptop or compatible device. Once connected and configured, the system can perform real-time image processing and output results to the networked control systems.

The IS5100-C11 requires a minimum firmware version of In-Sight 3.4.0 for operation, ensuring compatibility with the latest software features and updates. This firmware enables the system to take full advantage of its processing power and storage capabilities while maintaining system stability and performance. The system's advanced image processing and real-time analytics make it a reliable choice for industries that demand high accuracy, such as automotive, electronics, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.

Overall, the IS5100-C11 from the In-Sight 5000 series is a robust and reliable vision system that provides high-speed, high-resolution image processing in industrial environments. Its combination of advanced features, including a 24-bit color image acquisition, durable housing, and high tolerance to environmental factors, makes it ideal for demanding automation tasks. The system’s ability to perform under harsh conditions, coupled with its compact and lightweight design, ensures that it can be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of industrial setups where precision and efficiency are paramount.
