1 Introduction
Introduction
The MVS600x boards belong to the new generation of ICOS vision boards. They replace the
MVS3x0 series (that is the MVS340 or the MVS360), provide higher performances (speed,
standstill time, accuracy, …) and use the Plug & Play concept for hardware installation:
parameters are stored in the registry and application-specific settings are not stored on the board
anymore.
These boards should no longer be booted prior to starting up the MMI. The board can be
launched inside the MMI. Graphics and video are sent over the PCI to the VGA card. No extra
hardware or extra monitor is needed.
The “SEEPROM” parameters, which were stored on board for the MVS3x0, are now stored in a file
on the PC and read by the MVS600x board at startup. This way, the settings will automatically be
correct after boards are exchanged.

MVS6000
2.1 MVS600x Board
The MVS6000 family consists of three boards: the MVS6000 board, the MVS6001 board and the
MVS6002 board.
The differences between the three board types are the camera connections:
· The MVS6000 board supports two analog cameras
· the MVS6001 board supports one analog and one digital camera
· the MVS6002 board supports two digital camera
For detailed information (see page 2-12).
In the following two sections, you get an overview of the main hardware blocks and you see the
layout of the MVS6000 board and the MVS6002 board.
2.1.1 Main Hardware Blocks
· 2 DSP chips: TI320C6202 - 250Mhz
· SDRAM: 32 MB, used for application software, models, images,…
· Xilinx programmable components used, for example, for the timing generators of the cameras
· PLX driver for PCI communication (which gives the board read/write access to the hard disk)
· 3 SEEPROMS: for board-specific initial settings only
· 2 independent parallel video input channels
· PCI or RS232 communication
· Digital camera support as an option

2.1.3 Power Consumption
The power consumption is lying within the PCI specifications:
· +5V: max. 4A
· +12V: 200mA + power of all connected cameras
· -12V: 150mA.
2.1.4 Minimum PC Requirements
· minimum Pentium III 600Mhz
· minimum 133Mhz front side bus
· minimum 64MB SDRAM
· video graphics card:
· minimum AGP*4
· resolution 1280*1024 with 64K colors should be supported
· 8 MB display memory: avoid using UMA (sharing SDRAM as display memory)
· for each board one full length PCI slot must be available.

2.1.5 Communication
· PCI pipe communication
· RS232 communication:
The following baud rates are supported: 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,
19200, 38400, 57600, 115200.
Note:
ICOS provides the WinCommDll.dll for the communication (see page 5-2). This
1.
driver is available for WinNT4.0 and Win2000 (and can also be used for the ISA
and HS3L communication on MVS3xx and MVS100/200).
When no serial communication is used, the baud rate should be set to 0. This
2.
will improve the performance of the system.

2.2 Racks
Two types of racks are planned: standard and small.
standard rack (16 slots) small rack (7 slots)
4 PCI slots (Þ max 4 MVS) 3 PCI slots (Þ max 3 MVS)
2 PICMG slots (for a PC board) 1 PICMG slot

H: 178 mm - W: 448/483 mm - D: 460 mm H: 177 mm - W: 268/318 mm - D: 425 mm
The PC board is a Microbus MAT915 with Ethernet and SVGA on board.
A 17-inch monitor is advised. Only one monitor is used, as well on the CI as for SL products.
The rack dimensions are the same as the MVS3x0-racks, but the position of the mounting holes is
different on the small rack.
The back plane is different from that of the MVS3x0-racks.
The distinction between the different MVS6000s is based on their positions in the rack (slot 1, slot
2, ... see below). They have no address anymore (any more jumpers).

2.3 Camera Connections and Cables
Camera timing kits are programmable on the board. For each board two different timing kits can
be programmed.
Up to four standard resolution (SR) cameras or two high resolution (HR) cameras (ADIMEC), can
be connected to the MVS6000 board.
A combination of two SR cameras with one HR camera is also possible. In this configuration, the
same types of SR cameras must be connected to connector 1 and the HR camera must be
connected to connector 2.
Following figure summarizes the allowed combinations for the MVS6000 board:
Connector 1
Connector 2
Note: Cameras may be missing in these configurations.
To connect:
· two SR cameras to one of the MVS connectors of the MVS600 board, a breakout box must be
used.
· four SR cameras to a MVS6000 board, two symmetrical breakout boxes must be used.
An example of two symmetrical breakout boxes (see also page 2-13).

2.3.1.2 Breakout Boxes and Cables
Breakout Boxes
To connect two or more SR cameras to an MVS board, a breakout box must be used. A breakout
box has a SubD15 connector In and two or three Hirose connectors Out.
For the Hirose connector of the STxx Sony cameras and the Teli camera, a new connector
standard (EIAJ standard) has been introduced in which Pin 11 is no longer used as 12V input but
as trigger input. See the following table for more details.

Warning: New cables must be used for the connector with the new EIAJ standard.
The problem is that the connectors are physically “compatible”, but if you use old
cables with the new connectors or the new cables with the old connectors, either the
camera or the MVS board will be seriously damaged.
To avoid confusion:
· The cameras with the new EIAJ standard connector will get a blue label.
· The breakout boxes compatible with the old camera connectors are gray.
The breakout boxes with the new EIAJ standard Hirose connectors have a blue
label or a blue housing.
An example of a blue label for a breakout box:

Cables
there are three types of cables to connect the camera with the MVS6000 board:
· SR cables to connect with the standard Hirose connector
· SR cables to connect with the new EIAJ standard Hirose connector (blue label)
· HR cables
Note: For the SR cameras, the same cables are used as for connecting to the MVS3x0.
For the HR cameras (ADIMEC), other cables are used than for connecting to the MVS3x0.
The next two tables give an overview of the cables that must be used with and without a video
splitter.
Note: A video splitter transmits the output of the two cameras to the two “twin” MVS boards.
