Color tasks and network placement
Color discrimination at conveyor speed defines MV-CA013-A0GC. The 1/2-inch CMOS sensor records 1280 × 1024 images with 4.8 µm pixels, a global shutter and a full-resolution rate of 92.8 fps. Gigabit Ethernet provides the data link and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet. The C-mount camera occupies a 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm body and has a listed mass of approximately 100 g.
The global shutter and exposure range from 9 µs to 10 sec support synchronized capture of moving objects, while color output permits separation based on visible appearance rather than brightness alone. One opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional line are available through the 6-pin Hirose connector. Power may come from PoE or a 9–24 V DC source, with typical draw of 2.7 W at 12 V DC.
MV-CA013-A0GM shares the 1280 × 1024 resolution, 92.8 fps rate, Gigabit Ethernet link and PoE supply option. MV-CA013-A0UC raises full-resolution color capture to 201 fps over USB 3.0. MV-CA016-10GC V3.0 offers 1440 × 1080 at 78.2 fps with a Sony IMX273 sensor. Select MV-CA013-A0GC when color and the PoE network link are both required.

FAQ
Which inspections benefit from this camera's color output?
MV-CA013-A0GC records color at 1280 × 1024 and up to 92.8 fps. This combination supports sorting or verification where visible color differences carry the decision, while the global shutter keeps moving objects geometrically consistent during each exposure.
Can power and image data share the Ethernet connection?
Yes. The camera supports PoE, so a suitable Ethernet connection can carry both power and image data. It also accepts 9–24 V DC through the camera connection. Typical consumption is 2.7 W at 12 V DC, which provides a concrete basis for sizing the supply.
What trigger and output lines are available on the camera?
The 6-pin Hirose connector includes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O line. This arrangement supports an external acquisition trigger, an output event for lighting, and an additional configurable signal.
What environmental limits apply to an installed MV-CA013-A0GC?
The operating range is 0 °C to 50 °C, with 20% RH to 80% RH and no condensation. The enclosure is rated IP30. These limits suit protected equipment spaces; the rating does not indicate protection against water entering the camera.
How does MV-CA013-A0UC change speed and connection type?
MV-CA013-A0UC retains the 1280 × 1024 color output and global shutter but reaches 201 fps over USB 3.0. MV-CA013-A0GC runs at 92.8 fps over Gigabit Ethernet and supports PoE, so the choice separates local high-rate capture from network cabling.
