I/O definition
Camera power
The Prosilica GE camera family supports a wide input power voltage range. The
camera will not power in reverse polarity. Exceeding the voltage range specified
below will damage the camera.
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 RS-232, and TxD RS-232 is to be used. Note that Iso-
lated IO GND is common with power ground; however, it is good practice to pro-
vide a separate ground connection for power and signaling when designing the
cabling.
RxD RS-232 and TxD RS-232
These signals are RS-232 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.
Caution
5–24 V. 12 V nominal.
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 AVT:
