Hikrobot MV-VC551x

Core i5 multi-camera station control

Core i5-12400 processing in a seven-port GigE controller is the defining position of MV-VC551x. Four of its network interfaces provide PoE, allowing camera power and Ethernet traffic to share those connections. The unactivated Windows 10 platform is accompanied by four USB 2.0, four USB 3.0 and one built-in USB 2.0 interface, plus HDMI and VGA outputs that can operate independently at the same time.

The controller fits multi-camera inspection stations that combine Ethernet acquisition with direct machine control. Eight isolated inputs, twelve isolated outputs with NPN/PNP switching, eight isolated low-side driver outputs and four bidirectional differential lines cover trigger and actuator paths. Two serial interfaces default to RS-232 and can switch to RS-485 or RS-422. Two SATA 3.0 connections provide storage expansion without requiring a PCIe card layout.

MV-VC531x uses the same seven GigE and four PoE arrangement in the Core i3-12100 tier. MV-VC571x preserves the 302.3 × 248 × 105.2 mm enclosure and 264 W typical system figure but moves to Core i7-12700. MV-VC552x keeps Core i5-12400 and specifies one ×16, one ×8 and two ×4 PCIe interfaces in a 210 mm-high chassis.

Overview

A vision controller from the top VC5000 series on the Intel Core i5-12400 processor. Seven Gigabit ports, four of them with PoE, so a camera needs a single cable. RAM is chosen by part number: 8, 16 or 32 GB; the 2T suffix adds a 2 TB hard disk for the image archive.

A compact H610 chassis: two SATA bays, 105 mm high, 6 kg, 264 W typical. There are no expansion slots — this is a finished station, not a platform to build upon.

Selection and applications

Core i5 processing for multiple GigE cameras. Four-port PoE camera acquisition. Inspection sequencing through mixed industrial I/O.

Minimum kit: Install MV-VC551x with GigE cameras and lenses matched to their mounts, GigE cables for the required ports, a 4-pin system-power cable, and a 24 VDC source sized for 264 W typical draw.

Nearby in the range: MV-VC531x — Prefer it for the Core i3-12100 tier with the same seven-port network layout; MV-VC571x — Prefer it for Core i7-12700 processing in the same enclosure size; MV-VC552x — Prefer it when Core i5-12400 must be combined with PCIe card expansion.

FAQ

What network layout supports a multi-camera inspection cell?

MV-VC551x has seven GigE interfaces, including four PoE ports. Up to four compatible cameras can share power and network on those ports, while the remaining three GigE interfaces can carry non-PoE camera or plant-network traffic.

Which processor tier separates MV-VC551x from adjacent models?

The temperature entries identify Core i5-12400 for MV-VC551x. MV-VC531x is associated with Core i3-12100, while MV-VC571x is associated with Core i7-12700; all three list seven GigE ports with four PoE.

How many machine-control channels are available by type?

The controller supplies eight opto-isolated inputs, twelve opto-isolated outputs, eight isolated low-side driver outputs and four non-isolated bidirectional differential I/O lines. The twelve isolated outputs support NPN/PNP switching.

What storage, USB and serial expansion can be connected?

Storage expansion uses two SATA 3.0 interfaces. The platform includes four USB 2.0, four USB 3.0 and one internal USB 2.0 connection. Two RS-232 channels are provided by default and can be changed to RS-485 or RS-422.

What power, size and temperature figures affect cabinet design?

A 4-pin interface supplies 24 VDC and typical consumption is 264 W. The enclosure is 302.3 × 248 × 105.2 mm and approximately 6 kg. Core i5-12400 temperature entries extend from 0 °C to upper limits of 45 °C or 50 °C.
