Basler has introduced a new lineup centered around its 5GigE portfolio, featuring the ace 2 Basic camera as a standout product. This model boasts the same compact size—29 mm x 29 mm—as previous versions, but it delivers five times faster Gigabit Ethernet data transmission. The integration of advanced Sony Pregius S CMOS sensors (IMX540, IMX541, and IMX542) allows for resolutions up to 24 megapixels in some models and up to 16 megapixels in others.

Key Features of the Portfolio

The ace 2 Basic camera is part of a broader ecosystem designed to enhance performance across various applications. The portfolio includes six distinct models: three with Sony’s fourth-generation Pregius S CMOS sensors (IMX540, IMX541, and IMX542) for high-resolution imaging, and another trio equipped with IMX545, IMX546, and IMX547 sensors for medium resolutions. All models are available in both mono and color variants.

Portfolio Components

Basler emphasizes seamless integration across all components of its Vision portfolio. Here’s a breakdown of the 5GigE solution:

  • Cameras: ace 2 Basic with an advanced 5GigE interface
  • Lenses: Basler Premium C23 and C11 lenses
  • PC Interface Cards: N-Base-T 10GigE Interface Card (single-port) for connecting cameras to host systems
  • Cables: GigE cables support transmissions up to 50 meters without data errors; I/O cables extend up to 10 meters for precise camera control

Software Support

The portfolio also includes the enhanced version of pylon™, Basler’s overarching SDK. This software facilitates smooth integration across all components and supports additional accessories like network devices or trigger boards.

Compact Design Enables Easy Upgrades

Maintaining its small form factor ensures compatibility with existing vision systems. Users can seamlessly replace older cameras without changing hardware configurations. Moreover, upgrading from GigE to 5GigE networks requires minimal effort since the new interface is backward compatible. The increased data throughput also benefits factory automation and motion analysis.

“Customers prioritize efficient solutions,” says Felix Chemnitz, Product Market Manager at Basler. “Our focus on cohesive portfolio integration simplifies system operation, saves time during setup, and reduces overall costs.”
