A network port that also carries images
A smart camera decides on board and needs the network for results, setup and stored images. A Gigabit port matters when full-resolution images are sent to a server or an operator screen for every part, which a Fast Ethernet port carries only slowly. The higher-resolution models are the ones that usually have it.
- Decide what leaves the camera: results only, or images as well, and at what rate.
- Check the industrial protocols and the I/O of the selected model against the line controller.
- Compare the resolution, the lens mount and the lighting options with the field of view and the working distance.
