The LEDs indicate the conditions shown in Table 14.
Camera Connector and Cables
The MVS-8100D receives streams of digital video signals from one or more Cognex CDC
series cameras through the 26-pin camera connector. You connect a camera cable or
breakout cable from Table 15 to the camera connector. Note that Cognex CDC series
cameras use a micro DB-9 connector.
LED
Condition
Red
In normal operation, this LED is off. When first powered on, the
MVS-8100D loads instructions stored in flash memory into an
onboard chip. This red LED stays on while the load is in progress,
which should take less than one second. If this LED stays on after
power-up, turn off the PC and restart it. If the LED remains on,
contact Cognex Technical Support.
Left green
When the MVS-8100D’s device driver is loaded and enabled, this
LED indicates a successful link with a CDC series camera over the
CogLink bus, for camera channel two (on three camera models).
Middle green
Same, for camera channel one (on two or three camera models).
Right green
Same, for camera channel zero (on all models).
