Where can I find the data sheet for a product?
The data sheets for our products are linked via the item number in the tabular overview of our products in the product finder:
Where can I find the latest firmware release for my 3d sensors?You can find our AT SolutionPackage in the download area on our website:
What are the hardware requirements for operating the 3d sensors?A network card that supports at least Gigabit Ethernet is required to operate the devices. A separate network port is recommended for each connected camera. The CPU and graphics card requirements depend on the application and are therefore specified by the image processing software used.
What do I need to bear in mind regarding the electrical installation for 3D sensors?The electrical installation differs between cameras, compact sensors, and modular compact sensors. It is important to observe the specific information for the respective model to avoid damage to the device. We recommend using our IO panel.
What do I need to consider when using an encoder?Profile recording can be synchronized by an external encoder signal. The encoder is specified for TTL levels and should not have signal levels above 5V DC, as higher voltages can damage the device.
The maximum number of lines is not enough to accommodate the entire object. What can I do to extend the frame?Instead of extending the frame, you can split the recording into multiple frames without any loss of data. With the FrameBurstStart trigger, you can trigger multiple frames with a single start signal.
Can the 3D sensors communicate directly with a PLC?The C6 series has two digital inputs and two digital outputs that can be connected to a PLC.
Are AT’s 3D sensors “smart 3D sensors”?The term “smart sensor” generally refers to the evaluation of measurement data within the device itself. These sensors only transmit the results via their communication interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, Profinet, Modbus, or MQTT). AT’s 3D sensors, on the other hand, transmit the profile data to a PC via the GigE Vision interface. The data is then processed on the PC. AT 3D sensors are high-resolution, high-speed profile sensors. The amount of data generated by such sensors usually exceeds the performance capabilities of the CPUs built into cameras.
What is the warranty duration for the 3D sensors?All CS, MCS and XCS series products are covered by a 2-year warranty, but the warranty for ECS products is only 1 year.
How do I know which 3D sensor is right for my application?With our 25 years of expertise as component manufacturers in the field of 3D image processing, we have comprehensive knowledge in 3D laser triangulation sensor applications. Therefore, we can offer you optimal advice on which sensor is best for your application. Feel free to reach out to our sales team with confidence: [email protected].
Do you have a quick start guide for your products?You can find a summary of our quick start guides on our website.
Do AT devices support PoE?No, our devices do not support PoE and may be damaged if connected to PoE.

Software
-
What software is included with the sensor?
Included in our AT SolutionPackage, are tools such as cxExplorer, cxShow3D in addition to cxSDK and application solutions like our cxMetrologyExplorer tools.
How do I integrate the sensor into my application?For this purpose, we provide our customers with our AT SolutionPackage, which includes SDKs and examples for integration into all common image processing systems.
What standards and software interfaces are available?Our devices are compatible with the GenICam and GigE Vision standards. Communication with information from the device website is possible via RestAPI. The IRSX also supports Modbus TCP, Profinet, MQTT, FTP, and Lua scripting.
Which third-party software libraries support simple and direct integration of AT 3D sensors?The installation of the AT Solution Package includes an extension for the direct use of C6 3D sensors in HALCON. For integration into other third-party software, such as Cognex VisionPro, our libraries can be integrated as DLL (.NET runtime library). Programming via EVT’s Eye Vision software also natively supports C6 3D sensors. Other software solutions such as Aurora AVS, AIL, and DA are already supported or are currently in planning. Please contact our support team for more information [email protected].
