Important: The following hardware configurations are examples only. Real-world application configurations may

vary considerably from those shown below.

2-4-1 Check Hardware and Connect the System

MicroHAWK F320-F

MicroHAWK F330-F

The F320-F supports Power over Ethernet (POE), allowing you to power and communicate with the device from
a single cable. The F320-F is considered a Class 0 PD (Powered Device) and will operate when connected to
appropriate PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment). The PSE will either provide power on an unused data pair
(Alternative B) or on the data pair (Alternative A) which depends on the PSE. The F320-F supports both Mode A
and Mode B per the PoE standard, IEEE802.3af.

When the F320-F is connected to the Cat5E cable, it will automatically present a Powered Device (PD) signature
to the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), or PoE Mid-Span Equipment, when requested. The equipment will then
recognize that a powered device is connected to that line and will supply power.

Omron recommends that you contact your network or IT administrator for further configuration details. You can
connect to a non-PoE network using a PoE Injector, Omron part number V330-AP1.

Smart

Camera

2-7-1 Ground and Shield Considerations

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.

2 System Components

2-7 Grounding and Power

2

2-7-1 Ground and Shield Considerations

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.

2-31

2 System Components

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.

Power Requirements

Refer to this table when determining the power requirements for your camera.

Power Supply Voltage Current Consumption

F320-F 5 VDC +/- 5% 450 mA at 5 VDC (max.)

F330-F Source: 44-57 VDC IEEE802.3af POE Max Current: 0.090 A

2-8 I/O Filtering and 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 be
avoided by increasing the “debounce” time in the camera definition file located in the C:\Microscan
\Vscape\Drivers\CamDefs directory.

The I/O Line Debounce High Time and I/O Line Debounce Low Time can be added to the file as in the
example below. Debounce time is 1 ms (1,000 μs).

Note: Although the value entered for the "I/O Line Debounce Time" is in microseconds, it will only be
rounded up to a millisecond value. For example, entering the value 1001 will resolve to 2 ms; entering a
value of 2800 will resolve to 3 ms.

The min value for "I/O Line Debounce Time" is 0, which disables software debounce altogether. The
maximum value is 100000 (100 ms).

This is the the standard debounce as described for the trigger:

I/O Line Debounce High Time 1000 //usecs (default is 0)

I/O Line Debounce Low Time 1000 //usecs (default is 0)

The smart cameras have an I/O Line Filter Time as well:

I/O Line Filter High Time 100 //usecs (default is 100)

I/O Line Filter Low Time 100 //usecs (default is 100)

2-8 I/O Filtering and Debounce

2

2-7-1 Ground and Shield Considerations

I/O Filter is the ability to ignore any signals on the l/O lines that are less that the “Filter Time” long.
Sometimes, electrical interference puts spikes on the line. This feature makes it ignore them until the
signal that is seen on the I/O line is longer than the filter time.

4-3 Machine Vision Lighting Principles

Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. The smart camera features
integrated lighting (built-in red LEDs for monochrome sensors and white LEDs for color sensors).
Depending on the requirements of your application, you may also need
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.
