March 25, 2026-AutomationDirect now offer Datalogic Smart-VS vision sensor family models with expanded features. The new Smart-VS Plus sensor includes all the features of the standard Smart-VS sensor, including Ethernet communication and several I/O points, but adds additional object classifications for a total of 3 classes, which is useful when Good/No Good/No Object tests are needed. The Smart-VS Plus imager supports up to 20 stored images, and the operating range is expanded to 50-400 mm.

Datalogic's most advanced vision sensor, the Smart-VS EVO, includes everything the Smart-VS Plus offers, with support for a 6-class classification, including anomaly detection, and the imager stores up to a total of 50 images. It provides the same long-range operating distance (50-400 mm) but includes an additional output for a total I/O count of 4 outputs and 2 inputs.

These new sensors come with a 3-year warranty and boast the same easy setup as the basic Smart-VS sensor, using a web-based GUI that requires no specialized training or experience.
