Dual GigE Technology Doubles Standard GigE Bandwidth to 240 MB/s

Baumer’s new SXG cameras combine state-of-the-art Quad Tap sensors from Kodak with the innovative Dual GigE technology. This allows providing the perfect solution for applications requiring excellent image quality and high frame rates simultaneously. Thanks to the new interface technology, the image data with resolutions from 1 to 8 megapixels and frame rates of up to 120 fps are transferred to the PC via standard GigE interface boards. With the capability of transferring at 240 MB/s, the full potential of the Kodak Quad Tap sensors can now be used. With a transfer distance of 100 m, the Dual GigE interface offers all the advantages of the standard GigE interface. Instead of a static Link Aggregation Group (LAG) Baumer uses dynamic LAG to configurate the Ethernet ports automatically. Therewith, possible error sources can be eliminated right from the beginning. However, the redundant concept of the Dual GigE system provides better transfer security, ensuring data transfer and reliable camera operation even if one of the two Ethernet cables is disconnected. All cameras are supplied with Power over the Ethernet (POE) technology to eliminate a separate power cable. The serial production starts in the first quarter of 2011.
