Monochrome speed and interface choices
Monochrome acquisition at 201 fps gives MV-CA013-A0UM its role in rapid brightness-based inspection. Its 1/2-inch CMOS sensor produces 1280 × 1024 images with 4.8 µm × 4.8 µm pixels and a global shutter. Data travels over USB 3.0, with USB2.0 operation also listed. The C-mount camera measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and weighs approximately 80 g.
Fast count, position and outline checks can use the global shutter to retain object geometry as parts move. Exposure begins at 9 µs, allowing motion during an image to be constrained by a short integration interval, while the 201 fps rate supplies closely spaced frames. USB 3.0 can power the camera at a typical 2.4 W from 5 V DC, and a 9–24 V DC input is available for separately powered installations.
MV-CA013-A0UC matches the 201 fps USB link and 1280 × 1024 resolution but records color, so it suits decisions based on visible color differences. MV-CA013-21UM is monochrome and reaches 210 fps with a PYTHON1300 sensor, but its listed exposure starts at 40 µs. MV-CA013-A0GM changes to Gigabit Ethernet with PoE and runs at 92.8 fps. MV-CA013-A0UM fits stations that combine monochrome output, 9 µs exposure and USB 3.0.

Selection and applications
High-rate monochrome counting. Triggered outline and position inspection. Short-exposure capture of moving parts.
Minimum kit: The minimum kit is an MV-CA013-A0UM camera, a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and either USB 3.0 bus power or a 9–24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CA013-A0UC — Choose it when color output is needed at the same 1280 × 1024 and 201 fps; MV-CA013-21UM — Choose it for a PYTHON1300 sensor and monochrome capture at 210 fps; MV-CA013-A0GM — Choose it for 1280 × 1024 at 92.8 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE.

FAQ
Why is this model suited to fast brightness-based inspection?
MV-CA013-A0UM records monochrome 1280 × 1024 images at up to 201 fps. Its CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, and exposure begins at 9 µs, combining dense temporal sampling with short integration for moving-part outline, position and count checks.
What power arrangements are supported beside the USB data link?
The camera can receive power from USB 3.0, where typical consumption is 2.4 W at 5 V DC. It also accepts an external 9–24 V DC supply, giving the integrator a choice between bus-powered operation and separate power through the camera connection.
How should trigger and strobe signals connect to MV-CA013-A0UM?
A 6-pin P7 connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line. The input can receive a trigger, while an output can coordinate lighting with the exposure event.
What operating environment is stated for the camera body?
Operation is specified from 0 °C to 50 °C and from 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. The body is rated IP30 when the lens and wiring are installed correctly, so the installation should keep liquids away from the camera.
How does MV-CA013-21UM differ within the monochrome USB choices?
MV-CA013-21UM uses a PYTHON1300 sensor and reaches 210 fps at 1280 × 1024, compared with 201 fps for MV-CA013-A0UM. Its listed exposure begins at 40 µs, while MV-CA013-A0UM begins at 9 µs.
