Thank you for purchasing an MX-E Series embedded machine vision system (MX-E Series Processor). Please read the
instructions in this document before starting your system setup.
This manual explains the various parts of the MX-E Series system hardware, including the system inputs and outputs
available to integrate your system into a production line. This manual covers the entire line of MX-E Series processors.
Sections that apply to a specific model number are indicated.
When your system arrives, check the shipping cartons for wrinkled or damaged corners, holes through the cardboard, or
other signs of rough handling or abuse. If you find any signs of damage, ask the delivery service to make a note on the
delivery receipt describing the damage.
Carefully remove the system unit, cameras, cabling, and accessories from the shipping package. Place all equipment you
unpack on a table and inspect each item. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Save all packing materials so you
can repack the shipment in case you need to move or ship it.
Temperature precautions: If your system arrives in very cold or hot weather, allow all the equipment to reach room temperature before plugging it in. Exposing a cold device to a warm room causes condensation that could damage the system
if power is applied too soon. If condensation forms, wait for it to dry completely.

• Make sure heavy equipment is loaded evenly in the rack to avoid a hazardous condition. The rack should safely support
the combined weight of all the equipment it supports.
• Before the system is connected to the supply circuit, be sure to check equipment nameplate ratings to avoid overloading
circuits. Overloading may damage over-current protection devices and supply wiring.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure sufficient air circulation for reliable system
operation, and to prevent overheating, maintain a minimum of 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) of clearance on the top and sides
of the cabinet and between MX-E Series Processors.
An optional power supply is available for MX-E Series Processors. If you provide your own, it must supply 24VDC at 5.5
A (nominal) with a safe operating ambient temperature range of 0° to +55° C (+32° to +131° F).
This equipment is to be powered by a Listed power supply for the U.S. and Canada, or a power supply that meets the
requirements for use where either IEC 60950 or EN60950 is applicable.
• To ensure safe operation, the system power must be properly grounded. If the unit is mounted within a rack, verify that
it is reliably connected to electrical ground. The ground terminal on the power input must be connected to the grounded
chassis/enclosure of the power supply. This insures electromagnetic compliance and proper operation. See “Grounding
Concepts” on page 18.
• The Processor is to be connected only to networks that do not route outside the plant.
Flat Surface Mounting
When mounting the MX-E Series Processor:
• Take environmental conditions into consideration.
• Mount the processor to a flat, stable, vibration-free surface.
• This processor is only certified for operation in closed rooms.
• Do not subject the processor to direct sunlight.
• Do not cover the ventilation holes.
• Mount the processor only in an upright position as shown in “Processor Views and Dimensions” on page 13.
• The wall or control cabinet must be able to withstand four times the total weight of the processor.
15 Datalogic S.r.l.
Flat Surface Mounting MX-E Series Hardware Guide
• Do not exceed the flex radius of any connected cables.
Drilling Template
Mounting Hole
Dimensions
UNITS: mm.
NOTE: If the Processor uses a Compact Flash card, mount with the Processor top facing upward so the CF card
does not fall out due to vibration.
To mount the Processor:
1. Mark the surface mounting holes in the desired location using the drilling template dimensions.
2. Drill four surface mounting holes in the mounting surface. Use suitable anchors if necessary.

Grounding Concepts MX-E Series Hardware Guide
Grounding Concepts
Functional ground is a low impedance current path between electrical circuits and ground. It is used, for example, to
improve immunity to disturbances, but is not a protective measure. Grounding deflects disturbances, but does not necessarily provide protection against electric shock.
The functional ground on the processor has two connections:
• Supply voltage GND terminal
• Grounding connection on the processor back panel
To guarantee a good functional ground:
• Connect the processor to the central grounding point in the control cabinet using the shortest route possible.
• Use a cable with a minimum cross section of 2.5 mm² per connection. If a cable with wire tip sleeves is connected
to the supplied power plug, then a cable with maximum 1.5 mm² per connection is possible.
• Use shielded cable for all data connections.

CHAPTER 3
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, partial 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 processor 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.

Safety Precautions MX-E Series Hardware Guide
NOTE: We recommend that you do not use a switch or a router between the MX-E Series Processor and the camera.
• This camera is designed for indoor use. Do not expose it to moisture, including rain or snow, and avoid operating it in
wet areas. Should the camera become wet, turn off the power immediately. Moisture can damage the camera and create
danger of electric shock. Avoid using the camera when the humidity is above 80%.
• Make sure your camera has enough airflow around it for proper ventilation. The safe case temperature during operation
is from 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F).
• Mount the camera body in a fixed position where it will not be subject to excessive vibration.
• To reduce stress on the camera connectors and cable, loop the cables and fasten them to the camera's mounting block.
Do not crimp or tie the cables tightly with wire ties as this may damage them internally. The minimum cable bend
radius is fifteen times the cable diameter. It is not intended for continuous flexing or movement. Be sure that cables are
safely routed away from vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
• Check the intended installation area to be sure there is enough room for the camera and any lighting that may be
needed.
• Avoid areas with excessive heat, vibration, and environmental contaminants.
• Mount the camera away from devices that emit large amounts of electromagnetic energy.
• Do NOT attempt to clean the camera imager or imager cover. Do NOT spray the imager or imager cover with com-
pressed air as this may leave spots.
• Do not leave the camera imager uncovered. When you remove the lens cap, you must replace it with a lens.
