IDS Imaging Development Systems expands its modular camera concept with a remote GigE PoE board (Daughterboard). It enables power supply and data transfer via a single cable, thereby facilitating the integration of motherboard board-level cameras from the GigE uEye LE and uEye SLE series. The motherboards are based on a flexible interface concept: Instead of a connector block, they feature a compact flat ribbon connector, allowing connection via a flexible cable to a remote interface electronics unit.
This principle allows sensors and optics to be placed in the housing independently of the power supply and data connection, an advantage particularly for individual or space-critical product designs. Power supply and data transmission can now be achieved using a single cable with an RJ45 connector, to make integration more convenient. The new GigE PoE Daughterboard opens up a wide range of possibilities for developers and integrators to create space-saving yet powerful camera systems.
