CHAPTER 1

When Your System Arrives

Thank you for purchasing a MX-U81 embedded machine vision system (MX-U81 Processor). Please read the instruc­tions in this document before starting your system setup.

This manual explains the various parts of the MX-U81 system hardware, including the system inputs and outputs avail­able to integrate your system into a production line.

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.

System Factory Setup

Before we shipped your MX-U81 vision system, we ran the installation and setup program and specified a default soft­ware and hardware configuration. See page 1-4 for more information about setting up the hardware. Refer to the Impact
Reference Guide for software configuration information.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
A USB Hardware key is ordered and shipped separately from the processor. It must be present in the USB port labeled
USB5 on the processor front before the processor is powered on. (See “Front Panel Connections” on page 1-7.)

• 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-U81 Processors.

An optional power supply is available for MX-U81 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 2-6.

• The Processor is to be connected only to networks that do not route outside the plant.

Flat Surface Mounting

When mounting the MX-U81 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 2-1.

• The wall or control cabinet must be able to withstand four times the total weight of the processor.

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.

3. Insert four M5 mounting screws in the mounting holes and tighten them until approximately 0.2 inches (5 mm)
is left exposed. The mounting screws must be long enough to provide sufficient support.

4. Maneuver the Processor so mounting bracket slots align with the mounting screws.

5. Place the slots over the screws and slide the Processor down until the screws fit snugly into the mounting
bracket slots.

6. If necessary, tighten the mounting screws until snug.

Grounding Concepts MX-U81 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

MX-U81 Cameras

Introduction

This section describes digital cameras provided by Datalogic S.r.l. Our USB cameras can be used only with our MX-U81
Processors. GigE cameras will not operate on a MX-U81 Processor.

Datalogic S.r.l. does not support the use of these cameras in any manner other than described herein.

MX-U81 cameras acquire an image when a signal is present on the trigger input of the camera trigger cable, then digitize
images at the camera source and transmit them directly to the processor over the USB 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).

MX-U81 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-U81 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).

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 MX-U81 cameras connect power and image transmission to the MX-U81 Processors using a USB cable from Dat-

alogic. Using any other cable may cause intermittent data transmission. Cameras connect to triggering signals and
strobe output using a cable and terminal block. See “Connecting the Camera” on page 3-5 for more details.

• 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

3-1 Datalogic S.r.l..

Safety Precautions MX-U81 Hardware Guide

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.

Camera Setup and Calibration

Use the Impact programs to setup and calibrate cameras with a MX-U81 processor. (Refer to the Camera Setup Tab sec­tion of the Impact Software Reference Guide.)

Calibration insures that measurements shown in Impact software tools accurately indicate the inspected object's measure­ments. A camera requires calibration when it is first connected to the MX-U81 Processor, when the camera-to-subject dis­tance changes, and when the lens is changed. Calibration targets with 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mm dot pitches are available from
us (Part number 381-1177). Contact us for printed versions of targets with larger pitches.

NOTE 1: Pins 2 and 11 are tied together inside of the camera. Pins 1 and 12 are tied together inside of the camera. To
avoid a voltage drop when there are long wires between your power supply and the camera, we recommend that you pro­vide camera power VCC through separate wires between your power supply and pins 2 and 11 on the camera, and that you
provide camera power ground through separate wires between your power supply and pins 1and 12 on the camera.

NOTE 2: Although the USB 3.0 interface is capable of supporting both data and power, the power supplied through the
interface is not sufficient to operate the camera. A separate power supply unit must be connected to the 12-pin connector.

CHAPTER 4

Processor I/O

There are two versions of the MX-U processor, one with sourcing outputs - MX-U81-4-P-1, and one with sinking outputs

- MX-U81-4-N-1.

This section discusses the MX-U81 Processor I/O scheme. Refer to this sec­tion for all specifications when wiring your inputs and outputs into the Pro­cessor.

Note: Your MX-U81 Processor does not provide a voltage source for inputs
and outputs – it must be provided by an external source. Refer to the module
tables below for more voltage requirement information.

Note: The Trigger Signal and Strobe Output for MX-U81 cameras are sepa­rate and not part of the MX-U81 Processor inputs and outputs. See MX-U81
Cameras on page 3-1 for details.

Processor I/O Connection

To connect MX-U81 processor input and output signals use either cable 606-0675-xx (37 pin D-sub Male to Male Cable)
with terminal block 248-0110, or use cable 606-0675-xx and remove one end (to create a pigtail) with no terminal block.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect or disconnect the cable while power is on

Processor Inputs MX-U81 Hardware Guide

Processor Inputs

The MX-U81 Processors contain sixteen general-purpose input connections.

Two inputs serve as both event and polled inputs (Inputs 1 and 2). The remaining inputs are polled. The event inputs are
interrupt-driven which means that a change of state on the input will immediately cause an action and any inspection task
that uses that input will run. Polled input means that the input’s status is checked based on conditions defined in the
inspection task.

Interrupt-driven inputs are edge-triggered and the duration of the input pulse must be longer than the debounce time. The
active trigger edge (rising, falling, or both), input pulse duration, and debounce, are all configured in the Vision Program
Manager Settings tab.

This table describes the input characteristics.

CHAPTER 5

Cable Reference

This chapter documents MX-U81 Processor and Camera cable assemblies.

Processor Cables

The following cables connect different hardware devices to the Processor.

Ethernet

An Ethernet cable (Part number 606-0457-xx) is used to connect the MX-U81 Processor to any external network. The last
two digits of the part number indicate the cable length in feet. We recommend you use shielded Cat5e Ethernet cable or
better to connect the Processor.

A crossover cable is not required because the Ethernet ports are auto-negotiating; that is they can tell the difference
between a peer-to-peer connection and a router/switch connection and they configure themselves and the communications
to suit the environment.

Input/Output

The terminal block and cable for connecting MX-U81 processor are listed in the table below. For connection diagrams,
see “Processor I/O Connection” on page 4-1. The last two digits of the part number indicate the cable length in meters.

Connector Type Part Number

Terminal Block - 37 pin D-sub to Screw Terminal 248-0110

I/O Cable - 37 pin D-sub Male to Male Cable (for
use with above terminal block)

37 pin D-sub Male to pigtail (remove one end) 606-0675-xx

606-0675-xx

Power Supply

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.

See “Power Supply Connection” on page 2-5 for more details on wiring the power supply cable.

5-1 Datalogic S.r.l.

Serial Port MX-U81 Hardware Guide

Serial Port

A standard serial cable is used to connect the Processor to the serial port on an external device (e.g. terminal, PLC, motion
controller, data recorder). This may require using a null modem cable or adapter. The serial port does not support hard­ware (CTS/RTS) or software (Xon/Xoff) data flow control. Impact software supports RS-232 communication protocol
only. RS-485 is not supported.

1 No Connection

2 Received Data (RxD)

3 Transmitted Data (TxD)

4 No Connection

5 Signal Ground (GND)

6 No Connection

7 Request To Send (RTS)

8 Clear To Send (CTS)

9 No Connection

Monitor/Panel

The monitor/panel port provides RGB, DVI, and SDL video signals. The processor requires a monitor and keyboard when
it first starts, and to configure the system. A VGA cable (5 meters maximum) with the appropriate adapter can be used on
this connector.

Display Port

The display port provides DVI and HDMI video signals.

USB Processor to Camera

A USB 3.0 cable is used to connect the MX-U81 Processor to the U-Series camera. (USB 3.0, Micro B screw lock/A, 3 m)
