also important to select the optimum network components, because only a perfect combination guarantees reliable system operation. This is why camera manufacturer Baumer offers network components it has developed espe-cially to form a complete GigE Vision® solution. The introduction of Gigabit Ethernet as a standard interface for in-

dustrial image processing allows many new applications. Multiple camera systems in particular can be decisively improved in this way with regard to security, reliability and structural flex-ibility. Because cameras from Baumer support the GenICam™ standard they can also be easily integrated into Third Party Software.

HXG Cameras

Dual GigE and CMOS sensors combined for the first timeThe fastest GigE cameras on the market

Precision at top speedThe innovative Dual GigE interface from Baumer offers an efficient solution to integrate cameras with fast sensors and high frame rates into a Gigabit Ethernet network. The latest CMOS sensors and Dual GigE interface technology are combined for the first time in the new HXG series. Up to 109 frames/s can be transmitted with resolutions of 2 and 4 megapixels. These high-resolution ca-meras also offer excellent image quality at high speeds.

The full performance of the powerful CMOS sensors can be utilized with the double GigE bandwidth of 240 MB/s while all the advantages of the stan-dard interface take effect in the image processing systems. This enables, for example, flexible integration into exis-ting systems and transmission distances of up to 100 m with a simultaneous reduction in installation and mainte-nance costs.

MXG Cameras

Board Level cameras for a greater degree of freedom The solution for small, cramped installation spaces

A lot of technology for a small spaceThe integrated Trigger Delay guarantees simplified synchronization between application and camera while the Sequencer substantially simplifies the acquisition of image series with changing acquisition parameters. Both Packet Delay and Trans-mission Delay processes are also available for reliable data transmission when operating multiple cameras. Loadable and storable user sets simplify camera integration, and the GigE standard interface can be used to reduce integration and mainte-nance costs.

Flexible integration in almost any mechanical structure

PoE cameras and network componentsCompetence from a single source

PoE network components for industrial useThe PoE cameras achieve the best possible results when used with the network components from Baumer such as the GigE Power Switch and GigE Power Injec-tor. These products were developed in accordance with industrial standards for an operating voltage of 48 volt and allow easy mounting on DIN hat rails.

Simplify your installation with Power over Ethernet In the PoE cameras Baumer presents a camera series that was specially developed as a cost-effective single cable solution for Gigabit Ethernet. These cameras allow you to simplify the mechanical structure, reduce installation and maintenance costs and increase the reliability of the vision system. These advantages, combined with cable lengths of up to 100 m, enable new and interesting approaches to the solu-tion of industrial vision applications.

GigE Trigger DevicePrecise camera control over the network

Simplified process integration and Track & TraceThe GigE Trigger Device from Baumer enables the simple integration of process-relevant sensors and actuators into the camera network. With nu-merous inputs and outputs it offers sufficient connections to integrate light barriers or encoders and to thus realize innovative camera control. The input signals from the sensors are evaluated

by the Trigger Device and used for real-time capable triggering of one or several cameras via the network. Based on the image analysis on the PC the Trigger Device is capable of switching the digital outputs that can be used to e.g. control double door systems. The integrated Track & Trace function also allows reliable tracing of multiple

IP67 Cameras

GigE cameras with IP67 housingsDesigned to perform in harsh industrial environments

GigE cameras with waterproof and dustproof housings In order to also fulfill the requirements of harsh industrial environments Baumer also offers cameras in an IP67 protective housing that is waterproof and dustproof in accordance with this protection type. The housing protects the camera with the sensor and all the electronics. The integrated C-Mount connection means that all standard lenses are also securely enclosed without a separate protective housing becoming necessary. An M12 plug rounds off the industrial design and enables a secure connection between the camera and the interface. The IP67 cameras are available with a GigE interface and resolutions up to 5 megapixels.

TXD and TXF Cameras

Compact FireWireTM IEEE1394b camerasSimple Integration for Your Application

Data transfer rates up to 800 Mbit/sWith the TXD and TXF series Baumer is offering two camera lines with FireWireTM interfaces. These cameras use the IEEE1394b standard and convince users with their high data transfer rates of up to 800 Mbit/s. The downward compatibility of the cameras also supports the older IEEE1394a standard.

TXF Series – Baumer FCAM, a step ahead of DCAMWith its TXF series Baumer has opti-mized the FireWireTM cameras specifi-cally for use in industrial systems. The cameras with the FCAM driver rely on protocol based and asynchronous data transfer and thus profit from both great-er system security and maximum use of the bus bandwidth up to 80 MB/s.

TXD Series – DCAM compliance simplifies integrationThe TXD series uses the standardized DCAM (IIDC V1.31) protocol for data transfer and thus enables simple inte-gration of the camera, whether via the generic programming interface Baumer-GAPI or other image processing software that supports this standard.
