Keyence IV-HG15 Vision Amplifier Expansion
The IV-HG15 is the expansion sensor amplifier for the Keyence IV-HG series. It adds a second processing channel with 16 tools and 32 programs. It draws power from the main IV-HG10 unit.
The IV-H500CA belongs to the Keyence IV Series, a trusted line of integrated vision sensors. This model combines a color camera and a controller in one compact housing. As a result, wiring becomes simpler and installation takes less time. The IV-H500CA suits many automated inspection tasks on production lines.
This sensor uses a 1/3-inch color CMOS image sensor. It captures images at 752 (H) x 480 (V) pixels. The installed distance ranges from 50 mm to 500 mm. At 50 mm, the view covers 25 x 18 mm. At 500 mm, the view expands to 210 x 157 mm. Such flexibility helps the device fit different mounting spaces.
The IV-H500CA provides white LED illumination. Users can switch between pulse and DC lighting modes. Exposure time ranges from 1/10 to 1/50,000 second. Moreover, focus adjustment runs automatically. This feature reduces setup time for operators.
Sixteen detection tools come built into the unit. These tools include Shape Detection, Color Area, Area, Edge Pixels, Width/Height, Diameter, Edge Presence, Pitch, and Position Adjustment. Additionally, one position adjustment tool supports alignment tasks. The sensor stores up to 32 programs for quick product changeovers.
The IV-H500CA includes an M12 4-pin connector for 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Ethernet. It supports FTP client, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET protocols. Therefore, it integrates well with common factory networks.
Power comes from a 24 VDC supply with +/-10% tolerance. Current draw stays at 0.6 A or less. The output uses open collector design. Users can switch between NPN and PNP modes. They can also select N.O. or N.C. operation. Maximum output rating reaches 26.4 V at 50 mA. Six inputs (IN1 to IN6) and four outputs (OUT1 to OUT4) handle control signals.
The main case uses aluminium die-casting. The packing is NBR, the front cover is acrylic, and the mounting adapter is POM. The unit weighs approximately 270 g. It carries an IP67 protection rating. However, this rating does not apply when a polarized filter attachment (OP-87436/OP-87437) is mounted.
Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +50°C without freezing. Relative humidity stays between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. Vibration resistance reaches 10 to 55 Hz with 1.5 mm double amplitude. This applies for 2 hours in each X/Y/Z direction. Shock resistance hits 500 m/s², three times in each of six directions. These ratings exclude conditions where the dome attachment IV-D10 is mounted.
First, select a mounting position within the 50 to 500 mm distance range. Next, secure the unit using the mounting adapter. Then, connect the M12 4-pin connector to the network cable. After that, wire the power supply to the 24 VDC input. Finally, configure the 32 programs through the Keyence software interface.
