Ethernet
Connect an ethernet cable from the LSS controller to a PC ethernet connection.
Camera
Connect your camera per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
If the PC only has 1 ethernet connection and you need a continuous Ethernet connection for the LSS-2404, an
ethernet switch will be required to connect the camera (or adapter) and the LSS controller to the PC. If you are
going to set-up the LSS controller once and leave it for stand-alone operation, you can connect the Ethernet to
the LSS controller, program it, and then leave the Ethernet dedicated to the camera’s connection
. The LSS-2404
does not require a continuous connection unless you need to change settings later or on-the-fly during
operation. If the PC has 2 or more Ethernet ports available, connect the camera to one and the LSS controller to
the other (preferred method).
If using a POE camera, do not connect the LSS controller to a POE powered port.
The LSS-2404 IS NOT a POE
device.
Connection of the LSS-2404 to a POE port is a safety and fire hazard; damage to the LSS-2404 may occur.
Operating Modes
The LSS can be set up as a master or a slave. When the LSS is the master it is responsible for sending the triggers
to the camera and light in the programmed sequence once it receives one trigger from the sensor/machine. This
means that one trigger can execute the entire recipe. When the LSS is the slave it receives its trigger from the
camera/PLC and triggers the light for one frame. In this mode it will take multiple triggers to execute the entire
recipe.
When set up as the slave the trigger type must be set to ‘One
-
Shot’ and the trigger event must be set to
‘Frame’.
The LSS can be set up with NPN, PNP or opto-isolator signals. Reference Appendix D for connection
diagrams for each type.
