Fixed Ethernet thermal camera for autonomous monitoring

Optris Xi 410 is designed for fixed installation in industrial environments where temperature must be monitored reliably and without contact. Unlike a simple spot pyrometer, Xi 410 provides a complete radiometric thermal image, allowing the system to detect hot spots, monitor zones and evaluate temperature distribution across the measured area.

The Ethernet interface makes Xi 410 suitable for installations where longer cable distances, network integration or autonomous monitoring are important. The camera can be used in machine protection, condition monitoring, early fire detection, process monitoring and OEM equipment where thermal data must be integrated into the control architecture.

Main features of Optris Xi 410

  • 384 × 240 px thermal resolution for mid-resolution radiometric temperature imaging.
  • Temperature range from –20 °C to 1500 °C for a wide range of industrial monitoring applications.

When to choose Optris Xi 410?

Xi 410 should be selected when the application requires a fixed IR camera with Ethernet connectivity, autonomous operation and reliable integration into industrial monitoring or control systems. It is a strong choice when the camera must work as a smart temperature monitoring device rather than only as a PC-connected thermal camera.

  • autonomous temperature monitoring in machines and production lines;
  • hot spot detection in material handling, storage or processing areas;
  • early fire detection and overheating protection;
  • condition monitoring of conveyors, cabinets, enclosures or mechanical systems;
  • industrial process monitoring and quality control;
  • OEM equipment requiring Ethernet thermal imaging;
  • PLC or fieldbus integration through analog output or industrial interface kits.

Xi 410 or Xi 400?

Xi 400 is a compact USB-based IR camera for PC-based process monitoring and fast thermal analysis. It is a good choice when the main requirement is higher frame rate through USB and analysis with PIX Connect software.

Xi 410 is more suitable when Ethernet connectivity, autonomous operation, analog output or integration into industrial communication systems is required. In practice, Xi 400 is often used for PC-based analysis, while Xi 410 is better for fixed networked monitoring and PLC-oriented applications.

Xi 410, Xi 80 or Xi 640?

Xi 80 is the simplest compact hot spot finder with 80 × 80 px resolution and is suitable when the main task is cost-effective autonomous spot detection. Xi 410 provides higher resolution and stronger Ethernet-based integration for industrial monitoring systems.

Xi 640 should be considered when high-resolution 640 × 480 px thermal imaging is required. Xi 410 remains the stronger option when Ethernet monitoring, autonomous alarms and PLC integration are the main priorities.

Optics, field of view and distance-to-spot ratio

Xi 410 is available with different field-of-view options, allowing the camera to be adapted to the target size and measuring distance. Narrower optics are useful for smaller targets or longer distances, while wider optics are better for monitoring larger areas from shorter distances.

The distance-to-spot ratio can reach up to 390:1 depending on the selected optics. This helps the camera measure smaller objects from longer distances when the optical configuration is selected correctly.

Ethernet, PoE and PLC integration

Xi 410 supports Ethernet connectivity for fixed industrial installations and is supplied with Ethernet / PoE connection components depending on configuration. This simplifies cabling and makes the camera easier to use in networked monitoring applications.

Temperature values and alarms can be transmitted through analog output or integrated using optional industrial communication kits. Available options include Ethernet TCP/IP / Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET interface kits. This makes Xi 410 suitable for PLC-based systems, condition monitoring and machine safety-related temperature supervision.

PIX Connect software and autonomous alarms

Optris Xi 410 is used with PIX Connect software for configuration, real-time thermal image display, measurement zones, alarms, recording and thermal data analysis. PIX Connect also supports advanced functions such as line scanning and image merging, which can be useful in process monitoring and industrial analysis.

Autonomous alarms reduce dependency on a continuously running PC and simplify network setups. This allows Xi 410 to act as a smart thermal monitoring component in applications where reliable alarm logic and integration into the control system are required.

Harsh environment accessories

Xi 410 can be used with accessories for demanding industrial environments. Water-cooled housings can support operation in high ambient temperatures, while air purge accessories help keep the lens clean in dusty applications. Outdoor protective housings, mounting brackets, process interfaces, cables and calibration options are also available.

Correct accessory selection is important when the camera is mounted near hot processes, dust, moisture, mechanical vibration or outdoor conditions. Inobalt helps evaluate not only the camera, but also the full installation environment.
