Camera interfaces
Isolated IO GND
Isolated IO GND must be connected to the user’s external circuit ground if In
1, Out 1, Out 2, Out 3, RxD RS232, and TxD RS232 is to be used. Note that
Isolated IO GND is common with power ground; however, it is good practice
to provide a separate ground connection for power and signaling when
designing the cabling.
RxD RS232 and TxD RS232
These signals are RS232 compatible. These signals allow communication from
the host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the
camera. Note that these signals are not isolated; therefore, cabling should be
carefully designed for the noisy environments.
Input triggers
In 1
In 1 allows the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The camera
can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges, or
level of this signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image
at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.
The Mini-SMB trigger input is internally connected to the In 1 of the general
purpose I/O port. The Mini-SMB port on the camera uses an Amphenol 903-
406J-51R connector. A suitable mating cable connector is Amp 413985-3
which can be used with RG174 coaxial cable.
Note
Prosilica GE has a built-in power barrel connector (Switchcraft
PC712a). A 12 V power adapter with barrel connection plug
(Switchcraft 760K)is available for purchase from Allied Vision:
•
Order code: 02-8005C North America Supply.
•
Order code: 02-8010C Universal Supply.
Caution
Do not exceed 5.5 V on In 1.
Note
SMB to SMB cables are available for purchase from Allied
Vision with various lengths. Example:
Order code: 02-6007A
