M-Series and E-Series Cameras
Introduction
This section describes digital cameras provided by Datalogic S.r.l. and other third-party manufacturers. USB cameras will
not operate on an MX-E Series Processor.
Datalogic S.r.l. does not support the use of these cameras in any manner other than described herein.
E-Series cameras acquire an image when a signal is present on the trigger input of the camera trigger/power cable, then
digitize images at the camera source and transmit them directly to the processor over the Ethernet cable. These cameras
provide 8-bit resolution using internal 12-bit A/D converters and some have progressive scan shutter exposure (allowing
individual pixel readings). Third-party cameras may have different specifications. All cameras are capable of Gigabit
transmission rates.
E-Series cameras have a hard-coat finish case that helps eliminate ground loops. All camera settings (shutter, strobe, par-
tial scan, etc.) are configured using Impact software and are maintained in the MX-E Series processors’ memory so there
are no physical switches on the cameras.
All camera settings must be configured using the Settings tab in the Vision Program Manager (VPM) or in the Settings
program. For more detailed information, refer to the Impact Reference Guide (843-0093).
IMPORTANT NOTE: We recommend that the sum of the pixel resolution of all the cameras connected to an MX proces-
sor not exceed thirty-two Megapixels. This limit is not enforced by Impact software, but, if the limit is exceeded, the
IMPACT user interface performance will degrade.
NOTE: The MX-E20 processor can accommodate a maximum of two cameras. The maximum image size of each camera
is two Megapixels. (The calculation is: maximum width in pixels * maximum height in pixels < 2,500,000.)
Safety Precautions
Read all of the following instructions before setting up your camera. Save this document for later use.
• Follow all warnings and instructions in this manual and in other user guides shipped with your hardware components.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera. Do not remove screws or attachments. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to Datalogic S.r.l.
• All E-Series and third-party cameras connect to the MX-E Series Processors using a Cat5E Ethernet cable (606-0677-
xx). Cat6 cable is required for distances greater than 25 meters. Using any other cable may cause intermittent data
transmission. Cameras connect to power and triggering signals using a cable and terminal block. See “Connecting the
Camera” on page 32 for more details.
