IV-500C Keyence Color Vision Sensor | IV Series | Oiltech

IV-500C Keyence Integrated Vision Sensor | IV Series

The Keyence IV-500C is a standard-distance color vision sensor. It replaces PC-based inspection with a compact, self-contained unit. Manual focus gives engineers direct control over the optical path. The IV-500C runs shape, color area, area, and position tools on a 1/3-inch color CMOS sensor. Built-in EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and FTP client ports move data without extra modules. A die-cast aluminum body survives washdown and vibration.

Professional FAQ

Q: Can the IV-500C replace a PC vision system?

A: Yes for many tasks. It runs shape, color area, area, and position tools internally. Use a PC only when you need advanced algorithms or large data logs.

Q: How do I choose between the IV-500C and a longer-distance model?

A: Check your mounting space first. The IV-500C covers 50 to 500 mm. Pick a longer-range unit only if the target sits beyond 500 mm or needs a wider view.

Q: What cable and connector do I need?

A: Use an M12 4-pin Ethernet cable rated for 100BASE-TX. Shielded cable is better on noisy factory floors. Keep cable length within Ethernet limits.

Q: Does IP67 stay valid with accessories?

A: No. IP67 drops when you mount filter OP-87436 or OP-87437. The same applies to dome IV-D10 for vibration and shock ratings.

Q: How many inspection setups can I store?

A: The IV-500C holds 32 programs. You can switch them by input signal or network command. This helps on lines with frequent product changes.
