IDS Imaging Development Systems expands its modular camera concept with a remote GigE PoE board (daughterboard). It enables power supply and data transfer via a single cable, thereby facilitating the integration of motherboard board-level cameras from the GigE uEye LE and uEye SLE series. The motherboards are based on a flexible interface concept: Instead of a connector block, they feature a compact flat ribbon connector, allowing connection via a flexible cable to a remote interface module.

This principle allows sensors and optics to be placed in the housing independently of the power supply and data connection — an advantage especially for individual or space-critical product designs. "With the new PoE daughterboard, we are once again significantly simplifying the use of our smallest single-board cameras. Power supply and data transmission can now be achieved using a single cable with an RJ45 connector, which makes integration more convenient for our customers and opens up additional freedom for individual housing concepts," explained Marcus Rembold, product owner at IDS.
Product overview: GigE uEye LE Rev.2/uEye SLE PoE daughterboard
- Interface: Gigabit Ethernet with power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af)
- Connector: RJ45 socket for single-cable operation (power supply plus data transmission)
- Compatibility: Motherboard variants of the GigE uEye LE Rev. 2 and uEye SLE monitoring cameras
- Special features: Space-saving integration, reduced cabling, no additional power supply required
- Target applications: Customized housing concepts, space-critical designs, modular camera solutions
The new GigE PoE daughterboard opens up a wide range of possibilities for developers and integrators to create space-saving yet powerful camera systems.
