2.1 Introduction
These operating instructions describe the SMARTCAMERA product from the Balluff
Vision Solutions BVS SC product family as well as the data interfaces and the startup for
an immediate operation.
The web-based software interface integrated in the SMARTCAMERA is described in the
separate software manual (BVS Cockpit manual).
Both manuals are available on the Balluff product website via www.balluff.com or via the
help system of the BVS Cockpit interface.
The SMARTCAMERA was developed to identify objects in automated industrial envi-
ronments via optical codings (barcode, 2D codes or plain text) and to recognize and
verify characteristics of objects such as presence, contours, dimensions, colors and
positions. The test results can be processed in a flexible way and forwarded to the high-
er-level controller. Some outstanding properties are:
•Complete camera control and evaluation integrated in the device
•Simple camera access from the network
•Simple and user-friendly settings, control of camera without additional software
•Simple, user-supporting operation
•Support of Industry 4.0 through
•Integrated, flexible displays of process statistics
These characteristics make it possible to easily create test and identification tasks in
automation, to flexibly check the status of the test process, to monitor long-term pro-
cesses in a clearly arranged way.
Hence, the SMARTCAMERA perfectly supports logistics processes and quality assur-
ance in different industries.
These operating instructions apply to the following variants of the SMARTCAMERA:

SMARTCAMERA IO
www.balluff.com
The Balluff SMARTCAMERA BVS SC is a camera for the acquisition and analysis of
black- and white and color images. Application areas are optical identifications of codes
and plain text, inspections for quality assurance and the measurement of objects. The
camera can also be used in robot environments.
With the Gigabit LAN interface, the host industrial system can affect the processes in the
camera and receive customer-specific processed result data.
The product is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments (IP67 with lens protec-
tion, standard M12 industry plug connections, standardized industry network connec-
tions).
Since the complete software is located on the SMARTCAMERA itself, no external soft-
ware is required for the configuration and monitor display. Using standardized web
browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, the user can
easily connect with the SMARTCAMERA and work in the Balluff BVS Cockpit interface
developed specifically for camera systems.
4.1 Product variants
