Grayscale tasks and range context
Square-frame mono acquisition reaches 90.1 fps at 2048 × 2048 on MV-CS040-A0UM. A 1-inch global-shutter CMOS sensor with 5.5 µm pixels supplies Mono 8 data over USB 3.0, combining 4.2 MP coverage with the highest listed full-frame rate in this camera group. Exposure ranges from 30 µs to 10 sec, and the camera retains USB 2.0 connection compatibility.
The format is suited to fast edge, silhouette and placement measurements that need similar coverage in both axes. Global exposure keeps moving geometry temporally aligned, while an opto-isolated input can trigger each acquisition and an opto-isolated output can coordinate external timing. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm enclosure and USB power support a short camera stack beside the host.
MV-CS040-A0UC is the color counterpart at the same 2048 × 2048 resolution and 90.1 fps. MV-CS050-80UM V5.0 shifts to a 2448 × 2048 Mono 8 frame from a 2/3-inch SS sensor at 80 fps. MV-CS050-60UM V5.0 uses a Stacked BSI sensor at that 5 MP resolution and 60 fps, so it is the neighbouring choice when that sensor mode set is preferred over the 1-inch square format.

Selection and applications
High-rate mono shape measurement. Square-view placement inspection. Triggered edge analysis of moving parts.
Minimum kit: Use the MV-CS040-A0UM camera, a C-mount lens for the 1-inch sensor, a USB 3.0 cable, and USB 3.0 bus power or a separate 9 VDC to 24 VDC source.
Nearby in the range: MV-CS040-A0UC — Choose it for Bayer GB 8 color output at 2048 × 2048 and 90.1 fps; MV-CS050-80UM V5.0 — Choose it for a wider 2448 × 2048 Mono 8 frame at 80 fps; MV-CS050-60UM V5.0 — Choose it for a 5 MP Stacked BSI mono sensor running at 60 fps.

FAQ
What mono stream does MV-CS040-A0UM provide over USB 3.0?
MV-CS040-A0UM outputs 2048 × 2048 Mono 8 frames at up to 90.1 fps. The square image comes from a 1-inch global-shutter CMOS sensor with 5.5 µm × 5.5 µm pixels and 59.7 dB dynamic range.
Which inspections benefit from the square MV-CS040-A0UM frame?
The 2048 × 2048 geometry gives equal pixel counts across both axes, while Mono 8 supports edge and shape analysis. Its 90.1 fps rate and global shutter make the configuration applicable to repeated measurements of moving parts.
What power arrangements are available for MV-CS040-A0UM?
The USB 3.0 connection can provide power, and typical use is 2.4 W at 5 VDC. A separate 9 VDC to 24 VDC input is also supported. USB 2.0 connection compatibility is listed alongside the USB 3.0 interface.
Can MV-CS040-A0UM be hardware-triggered from a machine controller?
The 6-pin P7 connector includes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line. The input can carry a hardware acquisition event while the outputs coordinate associated equipment.
When should MV-CS040-A0UC replace MV-CS040-A0UM in a design?
Use MV-CS040-A0UC when the inspection requires Bayer GB 8 color information. Both cameras share the 1-inch global-shutter format, 2048 × 2048 resolution, 90.1 fps rate, 30 µs minimum exposure and USB 3.0 interface.
