BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 FL2004 , 1005936 0190-17311 PSU300S, 6EP1437-2BA20 Product Description

The Teledyne DALSA BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 is a high-performance GigE Vision camera from the Genie Nano series, engineered for energy-conscious industrial inspection and smart manufacturing environments. Designed to deliver consistent image acquisition with minimal power draw, this camera integrates seamlessly into modern production lines where energy efficiency, throughput stability, and real-time quality control are mission-critical priorities. Whether deployed in semiconductor inspection, electronics assembly, food and beverage sorting, or precision manufacturing, the BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 delivers reliable visual feedback that supports both operational efficiency and energy optimization goals.

In a power-aware smart factory, every component in the vision and control chain contributes to overall energy efficiency. The BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which consolidates data and power delivery over a single GigE cable — eliminating the need for a dedicated external power supply such as a standalone PSU300S unit and reducing cable heat dissipation across the control cabinet. This directly lowers the thermal load on the panel and reduces cooling energy demand.

When integrated with a Siemens S7-1500 PLC or equivalent controller via PROFINET or OPC-UA, the camera's trigger signals can be synchronized with machine cycle timing, ensuring image acquisition occurs only during active production beats — avoiding unnecessary sensor activation during idle states. Paired with a Siemens SINAMICS G120 variable frequency drive (VFD) controlling conveyor motor speed, the camera's frame rate can be dynamically adjusted to match line throughput, preventing over-sampling and reducing CPU load on the vision processing host.

For power monitoring, integrating the BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 into a system alongside a Siemens SENTRON PAC3200 power monitoring module or equivalent energy meter allows operators to track real-time power consumption at the machine level. This data feeds into a SCADA platform — such as Wonderware InTouch or Siemens WinCC — enabling energy dashboards that correlate vision system uptime with production output and energy cost per unit.

On the I/O side, the camera interfaces with distributed ET 200SP I/O modules for trigger input and output signal routing, while an HMI panel (such as the Siemens TP1200 Comfort) provides operators with live camera status, alarm visualization, and energy consumption overlays. Communication is handled via standard GigE Vision protocol, compatible with most industrial Ethernet switches and managed network infrastructure used in IIoT-ready factories.

For servo-driven positioning stages — common in semiconductor wafer inspection or PCB assembly lines — the camera can be synchronized with a Siemens SIMOTICS servo motor and SINAMICS S120 servo drive, ensuring image capture is triggered at precise mechanical positions. This eliminates motion blur, reduces retake rates, and minimizes wasted cycle time, all of which contribute to measurable energy savings per production shift.

The Teledyne DALSA BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 contributes to production line energy optimization through several interconnected mechanisms. First, its PoE architecture reduces the number of active power conversion stages in the system — each eliminated AC/DC conversion point removes a source of resistive heat loss, directly reducing the thermal burden on the control enclosure and lowering HVAC energy demand in the production area.

Second, the camera's high-sensitivity CMOS sensor enables reliable inspection under lower illumination levels compared to older CCD-based systems. This allows lighting systems — often a significant energy consumer in machine vision installations — to operate at reduced intensity or with shorter duty cycles, further cutting overall line power consumption without compromising inspection accuracy.

Third, by delivering consistent, high-quality image data with low false-reject rates, the BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 reduces the frequency of line stoppages caused by inspection errors. Fewer unplanned stops mean more stable production beats, lower restart energy spikes, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). In high-volume manufacturing environments, even a 1–2% improvement in OEE translates to significant reductions in energy cost per unit produced.

For predictive maintenance applications, the camera can be used to monitor equipment surfaces, conveyor belts, and mechanical components for visual anomalies — detecting wear patterns before they cause failures. This supports condition-based maintenance strategies that reduce emergency downtime, avoid energy-intensive emergency restarts, and extend the operational lifespan of connected drive and motor systems.

All units are sourced from verified supply channels, pre-tested for functional performance, and shipped with a 12-month warranty. In-stock inventory ensures rapid deployment with minimal lead time, supporting urgent production line upgrades or replacement requirements without extended downtime.

Q1: How does the BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 contribute to energy savings on a production line? The camera uses PoE to eliminate a separate power supply, reducing heat generation and power conversion losses. When trigger-synchronized with PLC cycle control, it activates only during active inspection windows, avoiding continuous power draw during idle periods. Combined with lower illumination requirements enabled by its high-sensitivity sensor, the net effect is a measurable reduction in vision system energy consumption per shift.

Q2: Is the BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 compatible with existing Siemens PLC and SCADA systems? Yes. The camera communicates via standard GigE Vision protocol over industrial Ethernet, making it compatible with Siemens S7-series PLCs, SIMATIC WinCC SCADA, and third-party vision software platforms. Trigger I/O can be routed through ET 200SP distributed I/O modules, and camera status can be displayed on Siemens Comfort Panel HMIs. No proprietary middleware is required for basic integration.

Q3: Can this camera replace an older Teledyne DALSA or third-party GigE camera in an existing inspection station? In most cases, yes. The Genie Nano series follows the GigE Vision and GenICam standards, ensuring software compatibility with common vision platforms such as Cognex VisionPro, Halcon, and NI Vision. Physical mounting follows standard C-mount or compatible lens mount configurations. We recommend verifying sensor resolution and pixel size compatibility with your existing optics before replacement. Contact us for a compatibility assessment.

Q4: What does the 12-month warranty cover, and how is pre-shipment testing conducted? All BOT-DG3-DA-4900C-00 units undergo functional verification prior to shipment, including image acquisition testing, GigE link validation, and PoE power-up confirmation. The 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects and functional failures under normal operating conditions. In-stock units are available for immediate dispatch, minimizing production line downtime during replacement or system expansion scenarios.
