Where this board fits
A 1.6 mm-thick single board gives MV-CB013-A0UM-B its role in tightly integrated mono imaging. The 1/2-inch CMOS sensor delivers 1280 × 1024 pixels at up to 201 fps with a global shutter and 4.8 µm pixel pitch. With no lens mount on the board, the equipment designer controls the optical and mechanical stack around the 32.5 mm × 32.5 mm footprint.
At 201 fps, the camera can follow rapid feeder movement, actuator cycles or parts passing an internal station. Global shutter exposure preserves geometry across the frame, and the 9 µs to 10 sec exposure range accommodates short strobed captures as well as static observations. The USB 3.0 port supplies 5 VDC and carries data; typical power consumption is 1.6 W. Two bidirectional non-isolated I/O lines support external timing.
MV-CB013-A0UM-C uses the same mono resolution and maximum frame rate but adds a C-mount in a 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm assembly weighing about 30 g. MV-CB013-A0UC-C uses that C-mount body for color output and draws a typical 2.8 W. The A0UM-B is the choice when the lens holder belongs to the host mechanism and a roughly 10 g, mount-free board matters more than a finished camera body.

Selection and applications
Embedded mono motion analysis. Rapid feeder cycle capture. Externally timed intensity inspection.
Minimum kit: Use the camera board with a lens and mechanical mount selected for the 1/2-inch sensor, plus a USB 3.0 cable to a host supplying 5 VDC power.
Nearby in the range: MV-CB013-A0UM-C — Choose it when the same mono 201 fps platform needs an integrated C-mount; MV-CB013-A0UC-C — Choose it when color output is required in a 35 mm × 35 mm C-mount assembly.

FAQ
What must the optical design provide for MV-CB013-A0UM-B?
This variant is a single board without a lens mount. The integrator must provide the mechanical lens interface and select an optic that covers the 1/2-inch sensor. The board dimensions are 32.5 mm × 32.5 mm × 1.6 mm, with an approximate weight of 10 g.
Can MV-CB013-A0UM-B receive power through its data link?
Yes. USB 3.0 is both the data interface and the specified power source. The board operates from 5 VDC supplied by USB, with typical consumption of 1.6 W, keeping the basic embedded connection to a single host cable.
Why use the mono output of MV-CB013-A0UM-B for fast inspection?
The sensor produces mono 1280 × 1024 images at up to 201 fps. This format supports intensity, edge and shape measurements without a color channel requirement, while the global shutter captures all image rows on the same exposure timing.
What exposure and gain ranges does MV-CB013-A0UM-B offer?
Exposure is adjustable from 9 µs to 10 sec, and gain spans 0 dB to 16 dB. The short end can be paired with controlled illumination for moving subjects; the longer settings address stationary scenes where acquisition rate is not the limiting condition.
When should MV-CB013-A0UM-C replace the B construction choice?
Use MV-CB013-A0UM-C when the assembly needs a documented C-mount rather than a mount-free sensor board. It keeps the mono 1280 × 1024 output and 201 fps limit, but changes the mechanics to 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm and about 30 g.
