The small body, on USB and serial

The VS90 is for stations where the reader connects to a PC or controller over USB or RS232C, and no Ethernet or PLC protocol is needed. It draws 130 mA at 24 V and takes any supply from 5 to 30 VDC.

VS90 questions

VS90 or VS95: which should I order?

Same housing, sensor and depth of field. Choose the VS90 for USB or RS232C to a PC or controller; choose the ReadCell VS95 if you need Ethernet with TCP/IP.

Can it talk to a PLC directly?

Not over an industrial protocol: it has RS232C and USB only. For PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP choose the ReadCell VS110R, VS210 or VS600E.

How is it powered?

Anything from 5 to 30 VDC, about 130 mA when operating and 11 mA in standby (typical, at 24 V).

Can it carry our brand?

Yes. See OEM and private label for the options; MOQ is quoted per project.
