Product Summary
The HAWK MV-4000 is Microscan’s high-performance smart camera. It is the middle tier
in a suite of products that includes MicroHAWK MV Smart Cameras at the lower end and
Visionscape PC-Based GigE Camera systems at the higher end.
The HAWK MV-4000 is a C-Mount camera fully accessorized for use with Microscan’s
NERLITE Smart Series of machine vision lighting products.
The HAWK MV-4000 features a full range of sensors, from 0.3 MP to 5 MP in both
monochrome and color. The sensors are all based on the ON Semiconductor PYTHON
CMOS series. All sensors have a 4.8 μm pixel size enabling them to capture very high-quality
images at very high frame rates.
The combination of C-Mount lens, external lighting, and 0.3 to 5 MP sensors allows users
to configure the system to accomplish virtually any application, from reading tiny 1D or 2D
symbols on flat panel displays to inspecting entire automotive assemblies.
The processor is a Dual-Core Intel Celeron N2807 with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of eMMC
(flash disk) storage memory. The HAWK MV-4000 is able to store, load, and run up to 50 simple
or complex jobs. Processing times reach near-PC speeds, enabling the camera to keep up with
line rates of up to 6,000 parts per minute and speeds of over 300 inches per second.
The camera is also equipped with real-time Digital I/O, RS-232, and GigE Ethernet ports.
Through these communication channels, the user can control and trigger the unit, as well as
receive results and images. The GigE port allows images to be ported to a display at nearly
the same speed as the frame rate. EtherNet/IP allows seamless integration with most of the
key PLC platform devices on the market.
Finally, like MicroHAWK MV or Visionscape PC-Based GigE Camera systems, the HAWK
MV-4000 can be programmed through a variety of user interfaces. This includes
AutoVISION, which is a highly intuitive and simple UI that can be mastered by a casual
user on the factory floor. It also includes Visionscape FrontRunner, which is the full
professional UI offering the entire Visionscape tool set to the user, including scripting tools
that allow the user to create custom tools and algorithms. The HAWK MV-4000 can be
controlled and monitored through custom web interfaces or UIs specifically designed and
programmed for the application using Visionscape’s powerful .NET controls.

Connecting to the I/O Interface
Connecting to the I/O Interface
HAWK MV-4000 has an I/O interface with 7 optically isolated signals.
Inputs
Four of the signals are inputs. They support sinking (NPN) and sourcing (PNP)
configurations and can receive 24V. Note that sinking (NPN) or sourcing (PNP) for inputs
cannot be mixed in a system because the Input Common is shared by all Inputs.
One input is dedicated as the camera trigger (sensor). The other three are configurable
general-purpose inputs. When the HAWK MV-4000 is used with the QX-1 interface device
and photo sensor, the trigger signal is automatically connected to the correct input channel.
Input Signals:
•Trigger (Sensor)
•Input 1
•Input 2
2
System Components
•Input 3
•Input Common
Outputs
Three of the signals are outputs. They support sinking (NPN) configurations and operate
at up to 24V nominal. It is possible to connect one of the outputs in a sourcing (PNP)
configuration, but the other two outputs would no longer be available.
All three outputs are configurable for general-purpose use, but when External Strobe is
enabled in the software, Output 3 becomes dedicated to that purpose. When the HAWK
MV-4000 is used with the QX-1 interface device, or with any of the NERLITE Smart Series
lighting cables, the Strobe Output signal from the camera is automatically connected to
strobe trigger input on the Smart Series light.
Output Signals:
•Output 1
•Output 2
•Output 3 (External Strobe when Enabled)
•Output Common

Note that sinking and sourcing concepts refer to the conventional current flow, which
means current flows from the positive potential towards the negative potential. A sinking
device provides a path to sink current toward ground or to the return path. A sinking device
does not provide power. A sourcing device provides a path that sources current; it
provides a path from the power source. In the following diagram, the device on the right is
the sourcing device, and the device on the left is the sinking device.

Connecting to the I/O Interface
Connecting Devices to Output Signals
HAWK MV-4000 output signals can be interfaced with input modules (with sourcing or
sinking input signals) found on most programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other
devices. The output signals can also be interfaced with inductive load devices (such as a
relay, light stack or a small motor).
The HAWK MV-4000 output signals are sinking output signals, based on an NPN-type
transistor. They need to be connected to an external power source because on their own,
they are not capable of providing voltage to drive a device. They are typically connected in a
sinking configuration because they only have one dedicated pin (Output1, Output 2, Output
3 (External Strobe), respectively) and share their other pin (Output Common). So, typically, a
sourcing device is connected to their dedicated pin and the return path is connected to the
common pin. The exact connection between the output signal, the connected device, and
the power source depends on the type of device to which you connect.

You can also connect a single output signal in a sourcing configuration, such that the
common pin is connected to a sinking device and the dedicated pin is connected to the
power supply. However, in this configuration, the other two output signals are not
available. The exact connection between the output signal, the connected device, and the
power source depends entirely on the type of device to which you connect.
(Equivalent circuit only.)
When an output signal is on, the circuit between its Output pin and Output Common pin is
closed, allowing current to flow from the Output pin to the Output Common pin, if the
Output pin is attached to a power source or a sourcing device. When an output signal is
off, the circuit between the Output pin and the Output Common pin is opened and no
current flows through.
Important: The power source must be provided externally.

Connecting to a Digital Device That Requires Two Predictable
Voltage Levels to Operate
The output signals can, therefore, only present one predictable voltage level for a given
configuration: a low voltage level in a sinking configuration or a high voltage level in a
sourcing configuration. Their other output state is, by default, floating. So, if you need to
connect to a digital device that requires two predicable voltage levels to operate, pull-up or
pull-down circuitry must be added.
2
System Components
(Equivalent circuit only.)
To add pull-up or pull-down circuitry, attach an external pull-up or pull-down resistor,
respectively. A resistance value of 3 KOhms is suggested to protect your HAWK MV-4000.
Since your HAWK MV-4000 output signals can sink up to 50 mA, use the documentation
of your input to calculate the required resistance for your external pull-up/pull-down
resistor (if necessary).
In the connections above, the pull-up circuitry causes an inversion if the input of the device
is connected to the Output pin. When the output signal is on, the circuit between its Output
pin and Output Common pin is closed, and current flows from the power source to the
Output Common pin. So the observed voltage at the Output pin will be low. Whereas,
when the output signal is off, the circuit between its Output pin and Output Common pin is
open, and current flows from the power source to the input of the device. In this state, the
current is limited by the pull-up’s resistor value.
Warning: The HAWK MV-4000 output signals are compatible with voltages up to 24 V.
However, by default, the output signals offer low resistance. When they are on (their circuit
is closed), current flows directly through them. Ensure that the circuit created between the
power source, the output signal, the connected device, and return path does not cause
more than 50 mA to flow through the signal.

Chapter2System Components
As a precaution, the output signals are individually fuse-protected up to 50 mA. HAWK
MV-4000 uses resettable fuses. The fuses protect HAWK MV-4000 if you accidentally
connect their corresponding output signal to a device that sources/sinks more current than
HAWK MV-4000 can safely transmit. If more than 50 mA of current goes through your
HAWK MV-4000, the fuse will eventually trip. After disconnecting your HAWK MV-4000,
the fuse will reset only after it has sufficiently cooled.

Optically-Isolated Output Signals
The HAWK MV-4000 output signals are optically isolated from the power and analog
reference signal as well as from the HAWK MV-4000 input signals. They are not, however,
optically isolated from each other as they share a common pin (Output Common).

To avoid losing two of the available three output signals, you can connect an output signal
to a sinking input as follows. Note that, in this configuration, you will need to connect an
external pull-up resistor. Since your HAWK MV-4000 output signals can sink up to 50 mA,
use the documentation of your sinking device to calculate the required resistance for your
external pull-up resistor (if necessary).

To connect a HAWK MV-4000 output signal to an inductive load input, follow the diagram
as shown below.
An inductive load device, such as a traditional relay, requires that you use a flyback diode
to protect HAWK MV-4000 from over and under-voltage, as shown below. This diode
should be connected as close as possible to the input and voltage source of your inductive
load device.

Connecting Devices to the Input Signals
HAWK MV-4000 input signals can be interfaced with a wide variety of devices (such as
proximity detectors). The HAWK MV-4000 input signals only detect when current flows
between their Input pin and Input Common pin. As such, an input signal must be
connected to a device that controls the flow of current. When current is detected, the
signal is reported as on; otherwise, it is reported as off. For information on the electrical
specifications of the on and off voltage levels, see the Electrical specifications section, in
Appendix C: General Specifications.
Each of the four available input signals has one dedicated pin (Trigger, Input 1, Input 2 and
Input 3) and shares its other pin (Input Common) with the other input signals.
You can connect the input signals in a sinking or sourcing configuration. Since the input
signals share a common pin, they must all be in a sinking configuration or all in a sourcing
configuration. The exact connection between the input signal, the connected device, and
the power source depends entirely on the type of device to which you connect. You should
essentially connect your device respecting the following:

Connecting to the I/O Interface
Pull-Up Circuitry
In some cases, you must add pull-up circuitry to connect an output device to an input
signal; specifically, you must attach an external pull-up resistor between the voltage
source and the Input pin.
This is required when you connect the Input Common pin to the electrical return path and
the third-party output device is in a sinking configuration. In this case, select a resistor
value that will not overcurrent the output device and instead provide just enough current
and voltage to your HAWK MV-4000 input signals, according to the electrical
specifications subsection in Appendix C: General Specifications. Note that you should use
a resistor with an appropriate power rating for your circuit.

Bleeding Resistor
By default, if properly configured, the current should flow from the Input pin to the Input
Common pin (when connected to a sourcing device), or from the Input Common pin to the
Input pin (when connected to a sinking device). In some cases, the amount of current
going through the sensing circuit is insufficient for the connected output device to match its
minimum current requirement when the device is in an on or off-state, depending on the
configuration of the circuit. To boost the flowing current, connect a 2.2 kOhm external
bleeder resistor between the Input and Input Common pins. For example:

You can connect a 2-wire proximity sensor to a HAWK MV-4000 input signal in either a
sourcing or sinking configuration (that is, on a positive or negative power wire). Note that in
both cases, you will need to install an external bleeder resistor, to ensure that a minimum
amount of current flows into the proximity sensor in its on-state and in its off- state.
For the input signal to source the current (that is, to connect an input signal on a positive
power wire), connect the 2-wire device to the input signal as shown below.
You must also install an external bleeder resistor between the Input Common pin and

Trigger Debounce
Trigger Debounce is the ability of the system to accommodate switching noise on a
trigger state change – a common issue with relays that have some intermittent contact
while engaging.
Trigger overruns (when the vision system is triggered faster than the device can process)
can sometimes be avoided by increasing the “debounce” time in the camera definition file
located in the C:\Microscan\Vscape\Drivers\CamDefs directory.
The IO Line Debounce High Time and IO Line Debounce Low Time can be added to the
file as in the example below. Debounce time is 100 μs.
The minimum value for "IO Line Debounce Time" is 0 µs, which disables software debounce
altogether. The maximum value is 268432 µs.
Standard debounce as described for the trigger:
IO Line Debounce High Time 100 //usecs (valid range: 0 to 268432 such that
debounce time * 1000 must be divisible by 16)
IO Line Debounce Low Time 100 //usecs (valid range: 0 to 268432 such that

Illumination
The HAWK MV-4000 Smart Camera is a C-Mount camera and is used with external lighting.
Any lighting can be used, but the HAWK MV-4000 comes with accessories and cables that
allow it to connect directly with Microscan’s NERLITE Smart Series lights. Software control
allows the lights to be operated in multiple modes: Off, Continuous, and Strobe.
Machine Vision Lighting Principles
Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. Depending on the
requirements of your application, you may need external lighting from Microscan’s
NERLITE family of machine vision lighting products.
Consider the following when setting up your application:
•Is the surface of the object flat, slightly bumpy, or very bumpy?
•Is the surface matte or shiny?
•Is the object curved or flat?
•What is the color of the object or area being inspected?
•Is the object moving or stationary?
Machine vision lighting should maximize contrast of the areas or features being inspected
while minimizing the contrast of everything else.
For more information about machine vision lighting, visit:
The HAWK MV-4000 Smart Camera supports external lighting with Microscan’s NERLITE
Smart Series lights. The diagrams below demonstrate how the camera and light can be
configured with the QX-1 interface device and light kit Y-cables. The light is controlled
using the lighting control in AutoVISION Software’s camera configuration settings.

In Strobe mode, the external illuminator is strobed with the exposure of the camera to
maximize light for the short exposure times needed in dynamic applications.

Lens Selection
This section includes information on lens selection, an important consideration when
building your application. The HAWK MV-4000 comes accessorized with a variety of lens
types and sizes to aid you in solving your application challenges.
Choosing the Correct Lens Size for the Application
The primary consideration during lens selection is that the focal length of the selected
lens meets your application’s requirements. The choice of focal length, when combined
with the sensor size, determines the field of view the camera will see at a given distance
between the front of the camera lens and the object, which is called the object distance.
A simple formula can be used to compute any of the four parameters. The formula is:
Sensor Size / Focal Length = Field of View / Object Distance
Example: The application requirement is for a 75 mm wide field of view at an object
distance of 200 mm, using the 1.3 MP sensor. What is the required focal length of the
lens? Rearrange the equation as follows:
Focal Length = Sensor Size / Field of View x Object Distance
Focal Length = 6.144 mm / 75 mm x 200 mm = 16.38 mm
The closest lens to this in the price list is 16 mm.
The sensor sizes needed for the calculation above depend on the model of your HAWK

Lens Selection
Crisp Image Created with a Higher-Quality, Higher-Cost Lens Matched to Pixel Size
Blurred Image Created with a Lower-Quality, Lower-Cost Lens Not Matched to Pixel Size
Choosing the Correct Lens Quality for the Application
The secondary consideration during lens selection is lens quality. Not all lenses are
created equal. Lenses are specified in combination with the sensor pixel size to which
they are able to resolve.
The diagrams below illustrate this concept. A lower-quality, lower-cost lens will create
some blur in the image, while a higher-quality, higher-cost lens will not. The choice of lens
will depend on the application requirements.
The first of the diagrams below shows an image blur created by a lens not matched with
the pixel size. The second of the two diagrams shows a crisp image created with a lens
matched with the pixel size.
A
Selecting a Lens
The HAWK MV-4000 sensors all have a pixel size of 4.8 microns.
The standard HAWK MV-4000 comes with 3 lens types:
•The first is a standard, low-cost lens for 5 to 7 micron pixels. This lens is adequate for
most inspection and reading applications.
•The second lens type is for 3.45 micron pixels. This lens is appropriate for most
gauging and code verification applications.
•The third lens type is also for 3.45 micron pixels, but is sized for the 1” sensor type
used in the 5 MP sensor.

HAWK MV-4000 General Specifications
CPU Board
The CPU board of HWK MV-4000 has the following features:
•SOC/CPU: Intel Celeron Processor N2807
•Volatile Memory: 2048 Mbytes of DDR3L SDRAM
•Non-Volatile Memory: 32 GB of flash disk (eMMC) memory
•An advanced I/O engine that includes the following:
–Digital I/O: 4 inputs and 3 outputs.
•Four independent, Optoisolated, digital auxiliary input signals.
Input signals have interrupt generation capabilities.
The input signals are debounced (that is, configured to wait a given amount of
time between accepting a signal change). The debouncing time can be
configured using AutoVISION. For more information, refer to the AutoVISION
online help.
The input signals can sink or source. To source voltage, you must connect an
voltage source to the common input signal (Input 3). For voltage expectations,
see Electrical Specifications subsection of the HAWK MV-4000 specifications
section, later in this appendix. Whether all the input signals are sinking or
sourcing is dependent upon the connection of the common input signal.
C
General
Specifications
•Three optoisolated output signals, used to connect devices (up to 24 V). Note
that these output signals are sinking signals that share a common signal. If
one of these signals is used as a sourcing signal, the other two are no longer
available.
•Display: Your HAWK MV-4000 provides a VGA/USB output to connect a monitor,
keyboard, and mouse directly to the device or connect a touch display to the device.
Note that a standard USB keyboard and mouse are supported natively. To connect
any other device (such as a specialized keyboard or touch screen) to your HAWK
MV-4000, it may require a specialized device driver. If the device has a third-partyprovided driver, inquire whether a specialized device driver is necessary and/or
available for your HAWK MV-4000 by contacting your local Microscan representative.

VGA/USB Port
The following information relates to the device that can be connected to the VGA/USB port.
Keep the lens free of fingerprints and dust. Do not clean with an alcohol-based cleaning
solution and do not spray water or cleaning fluids directly onto the lens. Instead, use a can
of compressed air or a lens cleaning cloth to remove dust.
The HAWK MV-4000 works with the Varioptic Caspian C-39N0-160-I2C or C-39N0-250I2C lens (liquid lens). This electronically focus-controllable C-mount lens fits within the
optional IP lens case. The Varioptic lens connects to the liquid lens connector inside the
lens case housing of your HAWK MV-4000.
General Care and Cleaning
To clean the unit housing, use a small amount of mild detergent cleaner on a cleaning
cloth. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the unit housing.
To remove dust from the lens cap, use either a can of compressed air or a lens cloth. The
air must be free of oil, moisture and other contaminants that could remain on the lens cap.
To clean the glass window of the lens cap, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a
cleaning cloth. Do not pour the alcohol directly on the glass window.

Connecting
To launch CloudLink, use your favorite web browser and enter the address of your device

The HAWK MV-4000 has a dedicated VGA/USB connector for attaching either a touch
monitor or regular monitor with keyboad and mouse. You can open CloudLink locally on the
camera by starting the shortcut available on the smart camera desktop or via the smart
camera touch app. The actual address in this case is http://localhost.
CloudLink also works with Visionscape Software and with AutoVISION’s Emulator.
To connect to a software-based job running in FrontRunner or AutoVISION:
First, be sure the job is running, and then type the following into your browser’s address bar:
Note: You must specify port 8080 for a PC-based connection. If you are connecting to a
PC-based system from a different machine on the network, use the IP address or name of
the PC instead of the local host. For example, use http://10.20.1.234:8080 if the PC’s IP
address is 10.20.1.234.
