Cognex MVS-8100D and CDC Cameras Hardware Manual
Table 4 summarizes the cable and hookup requirements of the two I/O line connection
options.
Caution
The MVS-8100D does not support hot plugging of I/O devices.
Before you attach I/O devices, be sure the PC’s power is fully off.
Attaching equipment to the MVS-8100D while it is powered on can
result in electrical damage.
Connecting TTL Devices
Figure 4 illustrates the connection of parallel I/O devices to an MVS-8100D using the TTL
option.
Figure 4.
TTL connection option
Eight bidirectional TTL lines are provided on the single channel MVS-8100D1; twelve
bidirectional lines are provided on the MVS-8100D2 and MVS-8100D3. Your vision
processing application determines with software commands whether a bidirectional line
is used for input or output. Each line is independently controlled; any line can be either
input or output.
To connect TTL devices to the MVS-8100D, follow these steps:
1.
Connect Cognex cable 300-0358 to the HD-15M port on the faceplate of the
MVS-8100D.
Caution
The MVS-8100D’s parallel I/O port resembles the industry standard
VGA connector, but is wired differently. Do not connect a monitor to
this port, or you may damage your MVS-8100D, your monitor, or
both.
