• 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-U Series Processors.

An optional power supply is available for MX-U 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 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-U 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 2-1.

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

Grounding Concepts MX-U Series Processor and Camera 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-U Series Cameras

Introduction

This section describes digital cameras provided by Datalogic Automation, Inc. Our USB cameras can be used only with
our MX-U Series Processors. GigE cameras will not operate on a MX-U Series Processor.

Datalogic Automation, Inc. does not support the use of these cameras in any manner other than described herein.

MX-U Series 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-U 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-U 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).

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 Automation, Inc.

• All MX-U Series cameras connect power and image transmission to the MX-U Series Processors using a USB cable

from Datalogic. 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

Safety Precautions MX-U Series Processor and Camera 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.

NOTE: The MX-U20 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.)

Camera Setup and Calibration

Use the Impact programs to setup and calibrate cameras with a MX-U Series 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-U Series 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.

MX-U Series Processor and Camera Guide Camera Specifications

Camera Specifications

U1xx, U1xxC

All U1xx cameras have the following specifications. Model numbers that end in “C” are color cameras.

Capture Rate

The total processor-to-camera bandwidth is 600 Megapixels per second. Each connected camera shares this band­width. For example, if two cameras are connected, each camera can use up to a maximum of 300 Megapixels per sec­ond. For four cameras, each camera can use up to a maximum of 150 Megapixels per second. This means that both
the camera resolution and the number of connected cameras can affect the frames per second (fps) value for each con­nected camera.

CHAPTER 4

Processor I/O

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

Note: Your MX-U Series 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-U Series cameras are
separate and not part of the MX-U Series Processor inputs and outputs. See
MX-U Series Cameras on page 3-1 for details.

Processor I/O Connection

To connect MX-U Series 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 cable 431-0592-xx (37 pin D-sub Male to pigtail) with no terminal block.

Cable and terminal numbers are listed in the following table. Use shielded cable for all connections.

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

Processor Inputs

The MX-U Series 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.

CHAPTER 5

Cable Reference

This chapter documents MX-U Series 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-U Series 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-U Series 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 (for use with no termi­nal block)

606-0675-xx

431-0592-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.

Serial Port MX-U Series Processor and Camera 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.
