Tasks and place in the range
Mono acquisition at 201 fps and a ready C-mount define MV-CB013-A0UM-C. Its global-shutter CMOS sensor has a 1/2-inch format, 1280 × 1024 resolution and 4.8 µm pixels. The optical interface is built into a 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm body, giving equipment builders the speed of the board-level platform without having to create a lens holder.
The combination suits edge measurement on passing parts, high-rate actuator observation and triggered position checks. A global shutter holds the geometry of moving targets, while exposure extends from 9 µs to 10 sec for strobed motion work or slower static capture. Data and a 5 VDC supply use USB 3.0, with typical consumption of 1.6 W. Line 2 and Line 5 are bidirectional non-isolated I/O connections for timing integration.
For an even thinner assembly, MV-CB013-A0UM-B keeps the mono 1280 × 1024 image and 201 fps speed on a 32.5 mm × 32.5 mm × 1.6 mm board without a mount. MV-CB013-A0UC-C retains the C-mount dimensions and rate but provides color output and consumes a typical 2.8 W. Select A0UM-C when mono analysis and a defined C-mount are both required; move to A0UM-B for custom optics or A0UC-C for color discrimination.

Selection and applications
Mono edge checks on moving parts. Fast actuator position capture. Strobed embedded measurement.
Minimum kit: Use the camera with a C-mount lens covering the 1/2-inch sensor and a USB 3.0 cable to a host that provides 5 VDC power.
Nearby in the range: MV-CB013-A0UM-B — Choose it when the mono sensor must sit on a 1.6 mm board with a custom lens mount; MV-CB013-A0UC-C — Choose it for color capture at the same 1280 × 1024 resolution and 201 fps rate.

FAQ
Which lens mount is integrated into MV-CB013-A0UM-C?
A C-mount is part of the 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm camera assembly. The lens should cover the 1/2-inch sensor, support the 1280 × 1024 image and provide the field of view needed by the application.
How does global shutter operation help MV-CB013-A0UM-C?
Global exposure gives the full 1280 × 1024 frame a common capture interval, which is appropriate for geometry and position measurements on moving components. The camera can run at 201 fps, and exposure can be as short as 9 µs.
What does the USB 3.0 connection supply on MV-CB013-A0UM-C?
USB 3.0 transfers the image stream and provides the camera's 5 VDC supply. Typical consumption is 1.6 W. This arrangement makes the host connection the normal power path as well as the data path for the mono camera.
Can MV-CB013-A0UM-C be synchronized with external equipment?
The electrical interface includes two bidirectional non-isolated I/O points identified as Line 2 and Line 5. These lines can be incorporated into the equipment timing design, while image data continues over USB 3.0.
What changes between MV-CB013-A0UM-C and MV-CB013-A0UM-B?
Their mono sensor format, 1280 × 1024 resolution and 201 fps limit match. The C version provides a C-mount in a 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm body at about 30 g; the B version is a mount-free 1.6 mm single board at about 10 g.
