ndustrial vision systems typically integrate hardware and software components from multiple manufacturers. While this enables application-specific and customized solutions for complex production environments, it also increases integration complexity. As a result, there is a growing demand for standardized, modular, and manufacturer-independent electrical installation concepts that simplify connectivity and ensure interoperability. Such installation architectures represent a significant advantage for machine builders and system integrators.
Integrated machine vision Murrelektronik has developed an integrated machine vision installation solution designed to address these requirements and reduce system implementation effort. The portfolio includes a new installation bundle

specifically designed for single-camera applications: One-Cam-Connect. Murrelektronik, a manufacturer of decentralized electrical installation and automation technology, offers a modular, manufacturer-independent machine vision installation system. The solution is based on fully pluggable components and enables the decentralized distribution of power, data, and signal connections directly within the machine environment, supporting efficient integration of machine vision devices at the field level.
Installation bundle for single- camera applications
One-Cam-Connect is a simply plug-and- play installation solution designed for the rapid and safe implementation of inspection systems using a single smart camera. Typical applications include intralogistics scenarios such as barcode or text recognition at conveyor gates or manual packing stations.
The One-Cam-Connect bundle consists of an industrial switch with integrated voltage control, combined with a power supply unit that can be connected to a standard power outlet. The bundle includes the first 90-watt power supply with IP67 protection and industrial certification, specifically designed for single-camera vision applications.
Integrated mounting tabs allow the power supply to be mounted quickly and securely on a machine frame or rack, supporting flexible installation close to the process.
Decentralized architecture reduces complexity for multiple cameras Beyond the One-Cam-Connect bundle, Murrelektronik’s machine vision installation systems are based on a decentralized architecture. By relocating components from the control cabinet to the field level and connecting local, self-managed vision systems to a central
