Cognex 3D-A5000 Sensors

Cognex 3D-A5000 sensors combine structured light projection and GigE Vision cameras to generate information about three-dimensional objects. The sensor projects a pattern on an area within the field of view of two enclosed cameras:

Cognex software builds a 3D data structure representing the object from geometrically distorted images taken from the two cameras, which can then be viewed as a static 2D image or dynamically through a 3D viewing option:

Once you have the 3D data, VisionPro supports a variety of 3D vision tools for performing tasks such as:

l Finding the 3D pose of a trained 3D model

l Generating height or volume calculations

l Analyzing a cross-section of the object

See your installed VisionPro documentation for details.

Hardware Installation

Cognex ships your 3D-A5000 sensor with a power supply and cables for the GigE Vision cameras and I/O connections. See the section PC Requirements on page6 for the minimum PC requirements to use with your 3D-A5000 sensor.

Be aware you need the following accessories to complete the installation of your PC and 3D-A5000 series sensor:

l A 1024 x 768 display at 96 DPI

l Any network cables to connect your PC to your corporate network

l A VisionPro security key.

The security key provides a security mechanism to ensure that the Cognex software is properly licensed.

l (Optional)Hardware trigger

l A mounting option for your 3D-A5000 sensor.

Refer to the following diagram for physical dimensions (in mm)of the mounting options on the back of the sensor:

Precautions

To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex product:

l Route cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage power sources to reduce the risk of

damage or malfunction from the following causes: over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, or other irregularities in the power supply.

l Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void

the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

l Ensure that the cable bend radius begins at least six inches from the connector. Cable shielding can be

degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out faster if a service loop or bend radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter.

l This device is certified for office use only and if used at home, there can be frequency interference problems.

l This device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the

performance and/or protection provided by the device.

l All specifications are for reference purposes only and can change without notice.

Hardware Installation

Green (Ethernet) Yellow (Ethernet) Red Green Details

N/A N/A ON FLASH

In the event of a system error, the Green LED fast flashes "N" times, has a long pause, and repeats. The "N"value indicates the error code:

1. File System Corrupt

2. No Calibration File Present

3. Cooling Fan Failure

4. Diarotator Motor Failure

5. Diarotator Controller Failure

6. Image Sensor Failure

7. Configuration EEPROM corrupt

If the 3D sensor detects multiple errors, each error is flashed with a pause between each value. For example, for errors 2, 3 and 5 the sequence would be:

l 2 fast flashes and a short pause

System Error

See the following description.

l 3 fast flashes and a short pause

l 5 fast flashes and a long pause

Then the cycle would repeat.

Caution Labels

Your 3D-A5000 sensor supports a caution label applied to the side of the sensor:

The label contains the following caution:

Do not stare into operating projector. The intense light may be harmful to the eyes.

Depending on how your mount the hardware in your production environment, the caution label might not be visible to anyone operating the sensor. Find additional English and non-English labels in the packaging with your Cognex hardware.

Page 12

Hardware Installation

Use the non English label if the English label is not sufficient for your production environment. Place one or both labels in a place visible to anyone operating the sensor:

Signal WireColor

Hardware Triggers

The acquisition trigger input to the 3D sensor is opto-isolated, and the sensor will respond to a trigger event when the voltage difference between the TRIGGER+ and TRIGGER- inputs exceeds 10V.

Specification Description

TYPE

Delay 50 µs maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of acquisition. Input pulse

±10 – ±28 V 0 – ±5 V @ 12 VDC, 4 mA @ 24 VDC, 8 mA

should be a minimum of 1ms wide.

Trigger Circuit

30V max across the input pins - transition approx. 10V (Min.)

Page 14

I/O Cable

To configure the acquisition trigger as a sourcing input, connect the TRIGGER+ terminal to the high-voltage reference (24VDC) and the TRIGGER- terminal to the output of the photo-electric sensor.

Trigger (Source)

To configure the acquisition trigger as a sinking input, connect the TRIGGER- terminal to the low voltage reference (ground) and the TRIGGER+ terminal to the output of the photo-detector or PLC.

Trigger (Sink)

Be aware of the following I/O line behavior during acquisition:

l The sensor asserts the READY line to indicate that it will perform a hardware-triggered acquisition when it detects

a rising edge on the TRIGGER_IN line.

The sensor must be configured for hardware triggers, an acquisition start command received, and the sensor must not be currently performing an acquisition.

l The sensor generates a 5.2 ms pulse on the TRIGGER_OUT line at the start of any acquisition sequence

(hardware trigger or software trigger)

l The sensor generates a 5.2 ms pulse on the MISSED_TRIGGER line if it detects a TRIGGER_IN signal but the

READY line is not asserted

Discrete Outputs

See the topic Hardware Triggers on page13 for details on the acquisition trigger. Your 3D-A5000 sensor supports three other optically-isolated high-speed outputs that can be used as either NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) lines.

Specification Description

Voltage 26.4VDC maximum through external load Current 50mA maximum sink current

OFF state leakage current 100µA External load resistance 240 Ohms to 10K Ohms Each line rated at a maximum 50mA, protected against over-current, short circuits and transients

from switching inductive loads. High current inductive loads require an external protection diode. 10µs (maximum due to opto-isolators turning on)

Delay

See the topic I/O Cable on page13 for the pin assignments of the 3D-A5000 sensor I/O cable.

Your 3D-A5000 sensor uses an identical circuit for all the outputs the 3D sensor supports:

Cleaning and Handling

Cognex makes the following recommendations for cleaning your 3D-A5000 sensor.

To clean the outside of the 3D sensor housing, use a small amount of mild detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a cleaning cloth. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the 3D sensor housing.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean any Cognex product with harsh or corrosive solvents, including lye, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or gasoline.

To remove dust from the camera windows, use a pressurized air duster. The air must be free of oil, moisture or other contaminants that could remain on the windows. To clean the window, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cleaning cloth and gently clean the window surface. Do not scratch the windows. Do not pour the alcohol directly on the windows.
