Fast GigE inspection tasks

Motion capture at moderate image size is the focus of MV-CA013-20GM. Its OnSemi PYTHON1300 CMOS sensor provides 1280 × 1024 monochrome pixels at 90 fps, using a global shutter and a 1/2-inch optical format. A Gigabit Ethernet link carries the stream from the 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm C-mount camera, and power can come from 12 V DC or PoE.

The combination fits presence detection, position checks, counting and coarse dimensional analysis on moving parts where 90 fps matters more than a multi-megapixel field. Global exposure keeps the captured outline consistent across the image. The compact sensor format supports a correspondingly compact optical path, while Ethernet and PoE suit distributed camera positions or multi-camera equipment with network cabling.

MV-CB013-A0UM-S keeps the 1280 × 1024 monochrome class but raises the rate to 201 fps over USB 3.0 and offers no mount, C-mount or M12-mount configurations. MV-CB004-10GM-S reduces resolution to 720 × 540 and reaches 125.2 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. MV-CA013-20GM is the balanced selection when 1280 × 1024, 90 fps, C-mount and an Ethernet/PoE connection are needed together.

Selection and applications

Fast monochrome presence detection. Global-shutter position checks over GigE. Counting moving parts at 90 fps.

Minimum kit: MV-CA013-20GM, a 1/2-inch C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either PoE or a 12 V DC supply form the basic camera kit.

Nearby in the range: MV-CB013-A0UM-S — Prefer it for 201 fps monochrome capture over USB 3.0; MV-CB004-10GM-S — Prefer it when 720 × 540 at 125.2 fps is sufficient over GigE.

FAQ

What lens interface and sensor format apply to MV-CA013-20GM?

The camera uses a C-mount in front of a 1/2-inch OnSemi PYTHON1300 sensor. A C-mount lens should cover that format and resolve the 1280 × 1024 monochrome array across the application's required field of view.

Is PoE available for the 90 fps Gigabit Ethernet camera?

Yes. MV-CA013-20GM accepts 12 V DC and supports PoE, with typical power consumption listed as 2.7 W. PoE can combine the operating power and Gigabit Ethernet data path at the camera connection.

Why is the global shutter relevant at 1280 × 1024?

A global shutter exposes the complete 1280 × 1024 image at one time, preserving the shape of a moving target within the frame. That supports position, presence and outline analysis at the stated maximum of 90 fps.

How does this CA model compare with MV-CB013-A0UM-S?

Both provide 1280 × 1024 monochrome global-shutter imaging. MV-CA013-20GM reaches 90 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE; MV-CB013-A0UM-S reaches 201 fps over USB 3.0 and is powered from USB.

What operating conditions are documented for MV-CA013-20GM?

The camera is rated for operation from 0 °C to 50 °C and humidity from 20 to 80 % RH. Its protection rating is IP30, the body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm, and the listed mass is 68 g.
