1 General Information
VC40XX Smart Camera series front view VC40XX Smart Camera series rear view
The VC40XX is one of the fastest Smart Cameras on the market. From the outside the VC40XX series
is identical with the VC20XX – the proven housing and Hirose connectors have remained unchanged.
However the internal electronics has been upgraded significantly.
The new TMS3200C64 processor from TI increases the computational power of the VC40XX almost
three times (to 3200 MIPS, equivalent to a 2.6 GHz Intel Pentium) compared with the VC20XX camera
family. In addition to that the VC40XX series features twice the internal memory (4Mbyte flash and 32
Mbyte RAM) and an SD card with 128 Mbyte replacing the MMC of the VC20XX.
Responding to customer demand, the VC40XX features both – 100 Mbit Ethernet and an additional
V24 (RS232) Interface. The RS232 interface connects to the Trigger socket. For this reason the
trigger input had to be slightly modified – existing trigger input circuits requires therefore adjustment.
Please refer to section 4.2 for details. All other interfaces have remained unchanged.
Like the VC20XX series the high speed trigger input of the VC40XX family allows jitter free taking –
even when inspecting fast moving objects. As the previous generation the VC40XX camera also
includes 24 V digital IO’s and a direct video output.
Like with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operation system VCRT allows
multi- tasking. This means for instance that user interface commands can execute in parallel without
stopping the inspection process. It is also possible to transfer live images via TCP/IP using a
background task.
Image acquisition can be done in the camera background. The VC20XX and VC40XX allow to perform
the three tasks of image capture, image transfer and image processing in parallel, greatly increasing
the amount of processed images per second.
The VC40XX family will be extended to match the feature variety of the VC20XX series in order to
offer the right camera for your application.

2 Basic Structure
The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One channel of video input is
digitized.
The VCSBC40XX has a direct video output.
The TMS320C64 DSP is one of the fastest 32bit DSPs. It features a RISC-like instruction set, up to 8
instructions can be executed in parallel, two L1 cache memories (16 Kbytes each) and a 128 Kbytes
L2 cache on chip. Its high speed 64-channel DMA controller gives additional performance. The DSP
uses fast external SDRAM as main memory. A flash EPROM provides non-volatile memory.
