Keyence IV3-600CA AI Color Vision Sensor

Keyence IV3-600CA AI Vision Sensor

Product Introduction

The Keyence IV3-600CA belongs to the IV3 Series of AI-powered vision sensors. It pairs a color CMOS image sensor with built-in AI tools for industrial inspection. The unit supports 65 tools and two operating modes: Standard mode and Sorting mode. Furthermore, it communicates through EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and TCP/IP protocols.

This sensor works at installation distances from 50 mm to 3000 mm. At 50 mm, the field of view measures 51 x 38 mm. At 3000 mm, it expands to 2730 x 2044 mm. The IV3-600CA also includes white LED illumination with pulse and continuous lighting modes. As a result, it adapts well to varied inspection targets.

Technical Specifications

The image receiving element is a 1/2.9 inch color CMOS sensor. It captures 1280 x 960 pixels. Exposure time ranges from 12 microseconds to 10 milliseconds. Additionally, focus adjustment is automatic, which reduces setup time. The Keyence IV3-600CA provides 65 inspection tools for flexible programming.

Communication interfaces include an M12 8-pin X-code female Ethernet port. This port supports 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. A second M12 12-pin A-code male connector handles power and I/O. Protocols cover EtherNet/IP, PROFINET Class B, TCP/IP non-procedure communication, FTP client, and SFTP client.

Electrical Parameters

The supply voltage is 24 VDC with +25%/-20% tolerance, including ripple. Power consumption stays at 3.3 A or less without the AI lighting unit. With the AI lighting unit, it drops to 1.8 A or less. Both figures assume an output load.

Outputs use photo MOS relay type with N.O./N.C. switching. The maximum rating is 30 V at 50 mA. The sensor provides 6 inputs and 6 outputs. Among these, 3 pins are selectable as IN/OUT. PoE support includes Power Class 3, 4, and 6.

Mechanical and Environmental Data

The operating temperature range is 0 to +50°C without freezing. Relative humidity must stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. The protection rating is IP67, except when a polarizing filter is mounted. Vibration resistance covers 10 to 55 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude. Shock resistance reaches 500 m/s² in six directions.

The main unit case uses aluminum die-casting, PBT, and TPU. The indicator light cover is TPU. Ethernet and power connectors use aluminum die-casting and LCP. The front cover is acrylic with a hard coating. Weight is approximately 300 g without the AI lighting unit.

Installation Guide

First, select a mounting position that respects the 50 mm minimum distance. Next, secure the IV3-600CA using the appropriate bracket. Then, connect the M12 Ethernet cable to the X-code female port. After that, wire the power and I/O through the M12 12-pin A-code male connector.

Meanwhile, confirm that the supply voltage stays within 24 VDC tolerance. Besides, keep the sensor away from excessive vibration and shock. For IP67 protection, ensure all caps and connectors are tight. Finally, configure the focus and lighting mode through the Keyence software interface.
