Industrial interfaces
All vicosys® systems have industrial communication interfaces. They fulfil the highest standards of integration and flexibility.
- EtherCAT and PROFINET for real-time communication and end-to-end processes
- modbusTCP and TELNET for communication via Ethernet networks
- digital I/Os for maximum compatibility with older systems and stand-alone applications
Integrate tried-and-tested algorithms
- Powerful image processing functionality including deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) support sophisticated applications.
- Precise temperature measurement with Flir thermographic cameras and 'active thermography' extend the range of functions
- The option of integrating additional external libraries makes it easy for you to integrate your tried-and-tested algorithms, e.g. based on Halcon script or Python - we would be happy to support you with this too.
Optimal cameras for your application
- More than 300 tested camera types from various manufacturers can be operated on the vicosys® and can be freely combined with each other: area scan and line scan cameras, polar, SWIR and thermal imaging cameras.
- Customised interfaces can also be implemented for particularly demanding applications - more than GenICam!

At Vision & Control, the programming of the vision systems is possible with the uniform test program editor vcwin.
Due to the variety of universally applicable tools that Vision & Control has developed, a wide range of solution options can be used in the application. This allows the greatest possible freedom for effective and creative problem solving.
With the systems of the pictor® and vicosys® model series, a maximum range of functions with an abundance of commands is available.
Subpixeling is integrated in a number of functions. This allows the resolution of the camera images to be increased by a factor of up to 10, depending on the ambient conditions.
Various powerful and contrast-independent probing algorithms enable perfect adaptation to the task to be solved with the aim of achieving a high level of probing and thus process reliability. They incorporate Vision & Control's decades of development and enhancement know-how.

Easy networking of nodes with certified PROFINET (CLASS B)
The simple networking topology of PROFINET (ring and line) and many other fieldbuses guarantees a straightforward and reliable layout for plant and machine networks. The use of standard patch cables for PROFINET simplifies the installation.
Simple integration of the systems in SIEMENS SPS S7
The image processing system is integrated as a PROFINET IO device in the controller. Via the network, the controller can trigger image acquisitions of the systems, switch inspection tasks, and read/write process data. The standardized description files in GSD format support simple integration of the image processing systems in the plant control.
Robust and proven
PROFINET is an inexpensive and robust form of fieldbus technology that has successfully proved itself over a long period of time. It is supported by our vision systems.
We offer gateways for connecting vicosys® to all common fieldbus systems.
- To serial bus, fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet we recommend the gateways netTAP50 and netTAP100 from Hilscher.
- For the transmission of measured values and parameters to the control system or other fieldbuses
- Profibus to Ethernet
- Profinet, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Powerlink, Modbus TCP, Sercos to EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP
The integrated LAN card with four independent GigE ports allows direct connection of cameras using the GigE Vision standard. More than 300 camera types from various manufacturers can be combined freely: area and line scan cameras, monochrome and color cameras, as well as UV, NIR, SWIR, and thermal imaging cameras.
