Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the TELI CS3500C is discontinued, obsolete, or on extended lead time, the following models may serve as functional equivalents depending on system configuration:
| Model | Brand | Compatibility Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CS3500B | TELI | Prior-generation equivalent; same form factor, verify firmware |
| CS3600C | TELI | Upgraded successor; backward-compatible in most CS-series frames |
| XC-HR50 | Sony | Functional equivalent for Camera Link imaging control; verify pinout |
| CV-A10 | JAI | Cross-brand alternative for monochrome control applications |
| Genie Nano C1920 | Teledyne DALSA | GigE Vision alternative; requires interface adapter |
Important: Always verify connector pinout, trigger logic levels, and firmware compatibility before substituting. Konmask engineers can assist with cross-reference validation — contact us before ordering a replacement.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Exact form-factor fit — drop-in replacement with no mechanical modification required
- Firmware compatibility — guaranteed compatibility with existing TELI CS-series host software
- Validated signal timing — trigger delay and exposure synchronization pre-calibrated for CS3500 optics
- Reduced integration risk — eliminates re-qualification effort in regulated or safety-critical environments
- OEM traceability — original part number maintained for audit, warranty, and service records
Typical Applications
- Semiconductor wafer inspection — synchronized imaging control in lithography and metrology stations
- PCB automated optical inspection (AOI) — high-speed trigger coordination for multi-camera AOI lines
- Flat panel display (FPD) defect detection — pixel-level imaging control in TFT/OLED inspection systems
- Pharmaceutical blister pack inspection — real-time image acquisition control for GMP-compliant lines
- Automotive parts vision inspection — surface defect and dimensional verification on production lines
- Food & beverage label verification — barcode and label integrity checking at line speed
System Compatibility
The TELI CS3500C is designed to operate within the following system environments:
- Frame grabbers: Compatible with Camera Link frame grabbers from Matrox, National Instruments (NI), and Euresys
- Host software: TELI SDK, Halcon, VisionPro, LabVIEW IMAQ
- Operating systems: Windows 10/11 (64-bit), Linux (kernel 4.x+)
- Lighting controllers: Standard strobe trigger output compatible with CCS, Effilux, and Metaphase controllers
- Lens mounts: C-mount standard; F-mount adapter available
If your system uses a non-standard interface or legacy PCI frame grabber, contact Konmask for compatibility assessment.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the CS3500C is the right control unit for your application:
| Requirement | CS3500C Suitable? | Recommended Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Link interface required | ✅ Yes | — |
| GigE Vision interface required | ❌ No | Teledyne DALSA Genie Nano |
| USB3 Vision interface required | ❌ No | Basler ace USB3 |
| Color imaging (Bayer/RGB) | ✅ Yes (CS3500C) | — |
| Monochrome only | ✅ Yes (CS3500 mono variant) | — |
| Outdoor / harsh environment | ⚠️ Limited | IP67-rated industrial camera |
| High frame rate (>100fps) | ⚠️ Verify model spec | CS3600C or DALSA Linea |
