MV-CH120-60GM V5.0 12 MP GigE Area-Scan Camera

Applications and neighbours

Mono 4096 × 3000 acquisition over a 1000 Mbit/s network is the core of MV-CH120-60GM. The camera pairs a 1.1-inch Stacked BSI CMOS sensor with 3.45 µm pixels, a global shutter and a full-frame ceiling of 10 fps in Mono 8. Dynamic range is 67.2 dB, exposure spans 10–19 µs (UltraShort) or 20 µs to 10 sec (standard) and gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 12 dB. The C-mount unit occupies 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm without a lens.

The mono signal supports dimensional inspection, alignment and contrast-based surface checks where hue is irrelevant. Global exposure keeps edges geometrically consistent when a part is indexed during capture. For timing, the 6-pin P7 connector carries an isolated input, isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line. A PoE network can deliver both power and image data, or the camera can accept 9 VDC to 24 VDC. Typical use is 1.7 W at 12 VDC.

This model occupies the low-rate network position among the 1.1-inch Stacked BSI variants. MV-CH120-60GC matches 10 fps and 4096 × 3000 but supplies Bayer GB 8 colour. MV-CH120-60NM moves mono capture to 24 fps at 4096 × 3072 through 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. MV-CH120-60UM reaches 31.3 fps at 4096 × 3000 over USB 3.0. The choice turns on PoE networking, the required frame interval and whether the host is local to the camera.

Selection and applications

Mono edge inspection through a PoE network. 4096 × 3000 triggered dimensional capture. Contrast checks at 10 fps.

Minimum kit: MV-CH120-60GM, a C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable and PoE or a 9 VDC to 24 VDC connection form the basic acquisition set.

Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-60GC — Use it for Bayer GB 8 colour at the same 4096 × 3000 resolution and 10 fps; MV-CH120-60NM — Use it for mono 4096 × 3072 acquisition at 24 fps over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.

FAQ

What mono imaging parameters define MV-CH120-60GM?

The 1.1-inch Stacked BSI sensor produces 4096 × 3000 Mono 8 at 10 fps. Pixel pitch is 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm, the shutter is global and the stated dynamic range is 67.2 dB.

Does the Gigabit Ethernet implementation support PoE operation?

PoE is included in the 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply specification. This allows the network cable to carry power as well as data. Typical camera consumption is 1.7 W at 12 VDC.

What exposure and gain adjustment ranges are available?

Exposure can be set from 10–19 µs (UltraShort) or 20 µs to 10 sec (standard), and gain covers 0 dB to 12 dB. These controls operate with the global shutter, permitting short triggered captures or longer stationary acquisitions.

Which environmental range applies to the compact C-mount housing?

The working-temperature interval is –10 °C to 50 °C and humidity is specified at 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. IP40 applies after the lens is installed and the wiring is completed correctly.

How does MV-CH120-60GM compare with MV-CH120-60UM?

Both are mono Stacked BSI models with a 4096 × 3000 global-shutter frame. This model reaches 10 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, whereas MV-CH120-60UM reaches 31.3 fps over USB 3.0 with USB power support.

MV-CH120-60GM V5.0 is a monochrome GigE area-scan camera for high-resolution 2D acquisition where a 1.1-inch global-shutter sensor and PoE integration are required.

Active revision

The recommended active revision for this page is MV-CH120-60GM V5.0, PN 306303293, with status M1 and no EOL flag. Legacy base PN 306302548 is recorded as E1/EOL.

Sensor and acquisition

The V5 camera uses a monochrome stacked BSI CMOS global-shutter sensor. Sensor format is 1.1-inch, pixel size is 3.45 × 3.45 µm, and resolution is 4096 × 3000 (12.29 MP). The listed full-resolution rate is 10 fps in Mono8.

Exposure and image range

Exposure settings are 10–19 µs in UltraShort mode or 20 µs to 10 s in standard mode. Gain is 0–12 dB, and the listed dynamic range is 67.2 dB.

Network, power and mechanics

Gigabit Ethernet is compatible with Fast Ethernet. Power is 9–24 VDC or PoE, with typical consumption of 1.7 W at 12 VDC. The 6-pin P7 connection provides one opto input, one opto output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. The C-mount housing is 29 × 29 × 42 mm, approximately 100 g and IP40 with proper lens and wiring; working range is –10 to 50 °C.

FAQ

Should a new BOM use active V5.0 PN 306303293 rather than EOL PN 306302548?

The supplied lifecycle data lists V5.0 PN 306303293 as M1 and not EOL. Base PN 306302548 is listed as E1/EOL.
