The CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX® i5 CL

The CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX® i5 CL is one of the latest and most modern products from the ‚industrial image processing CMOS camera‘ range of KAMERA WERK DRESDEN GmbH.

The camera can be considered a logically consistent development of the well-known, universally applicable predecessor model LOGLUX® HDRC4.

Main features of the CMOS industrial camera

LOGLUX® i5 CL:

∙ CMOS camera with free pixel selection Figure 2 : (progressive scan) and CameraLink™ data

interface

∙Approx. 36 images/second (full frame), higher rates when a smaller frame size is used (up to approx. 1500 images/second are possible)

∙Resolution: 1280x1024 pixels, 10-bit greyscale

∙>100 dB contrast/dynamic range

∙Digital image data interface

∙Possibility to pre-process the image data by means of the integral LUTs (look-up tables)

∙Spectral working range from 400nm to 1000nm

∙Sturdy continuously cast aluminum casing with C-type lens mount

∙Possibility to configure and control the camera, and transfer the image data, by means of a cable connected to the host system (PC).

The CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX® i5 CL is based on a universal hardware concept which comprises a CMOS large-area image sensor (FS), pre-processing unit (VV), controller (SE), data interface (DS) and operating voltage supply (SV).

In the pre-processing unit, the image data from the CMOS image sensor can be linked up in real time with one of three possible user-specific LUTs (look-up tables). In the process, the image data can be replaced by function values, e.g. arithmetic operations. By defining a greyscale threshold in a LUT, for example, the camera can be made to deliver the 'suitable' image material for a edge

recognition.

The camera firmware can be updated via an additional RS232 interface. Voltage is supplied from a plug-type power supply unit (24V/6W; comes with the unit) or an SPS DIN rail power supply unit (24V

±10%).

The CMOS large-area sensor IBIS5

The sensor element used in the CMOS industrial camera LOGLUX® i5 CL is a type IBIS5 CMOS image sensor made by Fillfactory (Mechelen/Belgium).

It is a photo-optical component of the latest CMOS image sensor generation. Being a typical SOC (system-on-chip), the sensor does not only accommodate the sensor (pixel) elements proper, but also all peripheral analog and digital components required to deliver a noise-corrected 10-bit greyscale value as an output signal.

Main features of the sensor are its high resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels (XGA resolution), the wide dynamic (contrast) range of up to 100dB, the integrated FPN (fixed pattern noise) correction of the raw image data, and two shutter modes (rolling/curtain shutter and synchronous/snapshot shutter).

As regards the conversion process, the IBIS5 is an integrating, photo-optical sensor. For more technical data please refer to the latest IBIS5 data sheet.

The following paragraphs describe selected functions of the sensor. Understanding these functions is imperative to the proper use of the various functional units.
