Imaging role and range context
Camera Link acquisition at a square 26.2 MP resolution is the defining setup of MV-CH250-20CM-M58S-NN. Its OnSemi PYTHON25K global-shutter CMOS sensor covers 23 mm × 23 mm with 4.5 µm pixels and outputs 5120 × 5120 Mono 8 at 31.3 fps. The SDR-interface Camera Link path serves systems already structured around a frame grabber and square monochrome images.
The equal pixel count on both axes fits square parts, grid layouts and surface regions that need uniform sampling horizontally and vertically. A 45 µs minimum exposure and global shutter support triggered capture of moving subjects. The 12-pin P10 connection supplies isolated input and output, bidirectional I/O and RS-232, while the Camera Link connector also exposes CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4. The fanless 70 mm × 70 mm × 44.3 mm body takes 9 V DC to 24 V DC.
MV-CH250-20XM-M58S-NN uses the same PYTHON25K, 5120 × 5120 image, M58 × 0.75 mount and monochrome output but reaches 80 fps through DIN CoaXPress. MV-CH250-25TM-F-NF delivers 40 fps over 10 Gigabit Ethernet and changes the optical interface to F-mount with fan cooling. Choose the CM when SDR Camera Link is the installed acquisition path, the XM for higher CoaXPress speed, or the TM for a network interface and F-mount.

Selection and applications
Square-area monochrome surface inspection. Global-shutter capture at 31.3 fps. Camera Link measurement with hardware timing.
Minimum setup: MV-CH250-20CM-M58S-NN, an M58 × 0.75 lens, a Camera Link SDR cable, and a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH250-20XM-M58S-NN — Prefer it for the same monochrome square frame at 80 fps through DIN CoaXPress; MV-CH250-25TM-F-NF — Prefer it for 5120 × 5120 Mono 8 at 40 fps over 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

FAQ
What Camera Link format does MV-CH250-20CM-M58S-NN use?
The data interface is Camera Link with an SDR connection, and Camera Link V2.0 with GenlCam is stated. The camera outputs the 5120 × 5120 monochrome image at up to 31.3 fps through that acquisition path.
Which Camera Link control lines are exposed by the 20CM model?
The Camera Link connector provides CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4. In addition, the 12-pin P10 port has an isolated input, an isolated output, one bidirectional non-isolated line and RS-232 for power and machine I/O.
How does the PYTHON25K shutter capture motion at 31.3 fps?
The OnSemi PYTHON25K uses a global shutter, so each 5120 × 5120 frame shares the same exposure interval. Exposure begins at 45 µs and extends to 10 sec, providing short settings for motion when the light level permits.
What M58 lens coverage is needed for MV-CH250-20CM-M58S-NN?
The M58 × 0.75 mount faces a square 23 mm × 23 mm sensor with 4.5 µm pixels. A lens must cover the square format through its corners and maintain resolution across all 5120 × 5120 samples.
What power and ambient range apply to the Camera Link model?
The camera accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and typically draws 9.4 W at 24 V DC. It operates from 0 °C to 50 °C and 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. Cooling is specified without a fan or heat sink.
