Chapter 1 Introduction

Product Summary

The Vision HAWK Smart Camera is a compact industrial smart camera
that provides powerful machine vision capabilities with a small form factor
and intuitive software interface. The Vision HAWK is designed for
industrial environments where IP65/67 enclosure and rugged M12
connectivity are required.

Fully-integrated I/O and communications make the Vision HAWK easy to
incorporate in virtually any machine vision application. Patented liquid
lens autofocus and modular optical zoom enables the Vision HAWK to
inspect objects at distances from 33 mm to 2 m and beyond.

Pressing the AutoVISION button at the back of the Vision HAWK enables
real time dynamic autofocus. When an object is centered in the field of view
and the AutoVISION button is pressed, the camera automatically adjusts
focal distance and sets internal parameters to optimize image captures.

AutoVISION software, designed for use with the Vision HAWK, provides an
intuitive interface, step-by-step configuration, and a library of presets that
allow easy setup and deployment. For more complex vision applications,
the system can be upgraded from AutoVISION to Visionscape.

Features and Benefits

• Color and monochrome models available

• Standard and C-Mount models available

• SXGA (1280 x 960), WVGA (752 x 480), and WUXGA (2048 x 1088,
C-Mount model only) resolutions available

• World’s first vision system with liquid lens autofocus (standard models)

• Integrated lighting (standard models)

• Integrated Ethernet

• Flexible programming options for custom applications

• AutoVISION button for automatic targeting, calibration, and triggering

• Simplified configuration with AutoVISION software

• Fully scalable with Visionscape

• Applications can be ported to Visionscape PC-based machine vision

Important Label Information

Each Vision HAWK Smart Camera has its own label, which contains
important information about that camera.

• P/N – The Microscan part number of your Vision HAWK Smart
Camera.

• S/N — The serial number of your Vision HAWK Smart Camera.

• MAC — The MAC address of your Vision HAWK Smart Camera.

For most C-Mount lenses:

• Loosen all lens screws to
allow free lens
movement.

• Install first set screw in
the available slot.

• Remove one lens screw
and install second set
screw to allow for
adjustment.

Important: Configuration
details may vary by lens
model.

Mounting and Wiring the Vision HAWK Smart Camera

Important: Pin 9 (Host RxD) must be tied to ground (Pin 7) when using a

flying lead cable and the serial port is not being used. The camera may not
boot to completion if RxD is not grounded. Isolate unused wires. The ends
of unused wires must not touch each other.

• Mount the camera (1) securely as required by the application.

• Connect the Ethernet cable (2) from “B” on the camera (1) to the
network.

• Connect the power supply cable (3) to “3” on the QX-1 (4).

• Connect the trigger (5) to “T” on the QX-1 (4).

• Connect the “Common” cable (6) from “A” on the camera (1) to “2” on
the QX-1 (4).

• Plug in the power supply (3).

Optoisolated Outputs

The reader has optoisolated outputs that can transfer signals from the
camera to peripherals. Outputs can be configured as either NPN or PNP,
but NPN and PNP cannot be mixed in a system, because the output
common is shared by all outputs.

Ground and Shield Considerations

An earth ground is provided through the cable shields and chassis of the imager.

Vision HAWK

Proper grounding is necessary for operator safety, noise reduction, and
the protection of equipment from voltage transients. Buildings, including
any steelwork, all circuits, and all junction boxes must be grounded
directly to an earth ground in compliance with local and national electrical
codes.

Ground and Shield Considerations

System Components

Ground Loops

Ground loops (signal degradation due to different ground potentials in
communicating devices) can be eliminated or minimized by ensuring that
both the host, imager, and their power supplies are connected to a
common earth ground.

Expected Power and Ground Connections for Proper Operation

Grounding Notes:

• Ensure that mounting bracket “Earth” is at the same potential as
power source “Earth”.

• Supply “Return” and “Earth” ground must be stable, low-impedance
reference points.

• “2-Terminal Power Supply” must still provide an “Earth” connection to
the imager.

• “Signal Ground” can be used for communications and/or discrete signal
ground reference. It must not be used as Power Ground or Earth
Ground.
