Chapter 1
Hardware Connection and Powerup Check
Connecting CVIM2 System Components
Before you install the CVIM2 system at its factory–floor site, you may find it
useful to connect the basic system components temporarily on a workbench
or table top.
If, however, you intend first to install the CVIM2 system at its factory–floor
site, refer to the following Allen–Bradley publications for site installation
information.
• Pyramid Integrator Installation Manual, Publication No. 5000–6.2.10.
Chapter 4, Grounding the Components, is of particular importance.
• Grounding and Wiring Guidelines, Publication No. 1777–4.1.
• Solid–state Control Safety Guidelines, Publication No. SGI–1.1.
After completing the site installation, return to this section.
Installing the CVIM2 Module
The CVIM2 module uses a DC–to–DC converter to supply power to the
cameras. The converter gets its DC voltage from either the chassis power
supply (+12VDC and –12VDC) or from an external DC power supply
(+24VDC).
When using a 2801–NX3 or –NX4 chassis, here are the situations in which
you must use an external DC power supply:
• More than three cameras are connected to a single CVIM2 module.
• Two or more CVIM2 modules are installed in a single chassis, and more
than three total cameras are connected to the modules.
• Any of cameras #4, #5, or #6 are to be used, regardless of the total
number of cameras used or the number of CVIM2 modules installed.
When using a 2801–AM2 vision chassis, an external DC power supply is not
needed; however the CVIM2 module must have the DC voltage selection
switch set to the 24V position. (The integrated power supply for the
2801–AM2 chassis provides both 12VDC and 24VDC. See Publication No.
2801–2.7, page 9, for more information about the 2801–AM2 vision chassis.)
Use the following steps to set the DC voltage selection switch on the CVIM2
module:
1. Locate the DC voltage selection switch on the back of the CVIM2
module. Refer to Figure 1.1 (page 1–3).
2. Set the switch as shown in Figure 1.1 (the 12V setting) for applications
using three or fewer cameras.
3. Set the switch to the 24V position for applications using more than three
cameras, or using any of cameras #4, #5, or #6.

(shown in internal source position)
Installing the Optional DC Power Supply Cable
If your application requires an external +24VDC power supply, you can use
one of two Allen–Bradley DC power supply cables to connect the external
+24VDC power supply to the Pyramid Integrator chassis power supply. The
power supply must have sufficient capacity to power all of the cameras.
These are the Allen–Bradley DC power supply cables:
• Catalog No. 5120–CP3 –– for applications not requiring a fan chassis (for
cooling the Pyramid Integrator chassis power supply).
• Catalog No. 5120–CP2 –– for applications using the eight–slot chassis
and requiring a fan chassis.
Note that each cable has a set of four color–coded leads terminated with
spade lugs.
1–3
Chapter 1
Hardware Connection and Powerup Check
Attach the color–coded leads on the DC cable to the external DC power
supply as follows:
1. Connect the triple red leads to the DC power supply’s main “+ output”
terminal.
2. If your DC power supply has a “+ sense” terminal, connect the single red
lead to that terminal. Otherwise, connect the single red lead to the “+
output” terminal, along with the triple red leads.
3. Connect the triple black leads to the DC power supply’s main “– output”
terminal.
4. If your DC power supply has a “– sense” terminal, connect the single
black lead to that terminal. Otherwise, connect the single black lead to
the “– output” terminal, along with the triple black leads.
5. Connect the molded plug on the other end of the DC power supply cable
to the Pyramid Integrator power supply front panel jack labeled “Fan
Chassis.”
6. If your application has a fan chassis and you are using the 5120–CP2
cable, connect the smaller molded plug to the jack in the fan chassis.
Finally, attach a line cord or other AC power supply cables to the DC power
supply, as appropriate for your installation.
NOTE: Do not apply AC power to the DC power supply yet.

Chapter 1
Hardware Connection and Powerup Check
Powering Up CVIM2 System
At this point, with all basic system components connected, the CVIM2
system is ready for the powerup check.
Use the following steps to perform the powerup check:
1. Set the video monitor brightness and contrast controls to their midrange
point or other appropriate preliminary point.
CAUTION: Verify that the AC voltage source is within
limits for both the video monitor and the CVIM2 system.
2. Set the scan mode, if available on your monitor, to “under scan.”
3. Set the power switch to “off.”
4. Insert the monitor AC line cord into the AC power outlet.
5. Set the power switch to “on.”
6. Attach the CVIM2 system AC line cord or cable to the AC power outlet
or source.
7. If your system is using an external +24VDC power supply, attach the AC
line cord or cable to the AC power outlet or source.
8. Set the power switch to On. When you do, you should see the following
results:
• The DC OK light on the chassis power supply should turn on.
• All LEDs on the CVIM2 front panel should light momentarily, after
which the Pass/Fail LED should remain green.
• In about five seconds, the banner message should appear on the
monitor screen, similar to the screen shown in Figure 1.3 (page
1–9).
9. Verify that the light pen operates properly by moving it across the screen.
The cursor pointer should follow the light pen’s movement. If it does not,
verify that the DC voltage selection switch setting shown in Figure 1.1
(page 1–3) is set correctly for your application.
10. Verify that the light pen switch operates by picking one or more of the
items on the main menu. In each case, a pull–down menu should appear.
11. If a mouse is connected to PORT A or PORT B on the I/O interface
box, check the mouse for proper operation by moving it across a table
top. The mouse pointer should follow the mouse’s movement. If not,
refer to the Configuring CVIM2 System for Mouse Operation section on

Hardware Connection and Powerup Check
Configuring CVIM2 System For Mouse Operation
The CVIM2 system supports most serial mouse and trackball pointing
devices that are IBM PC compatible. The following devices have been
tested and have been found to work with the CVIM2 system:
• Logictech Model C7–3F–9F
• Logictech Model CC–93–9F
• Microsoft Model LR 87483
• Mouse Systems Model 900800–001/A
• Clix Model CX–30
• Interlink Electronics Durapoint (exceeds NEMA 4X, 6P, and 13)
• Mouse Systems Model TP–305 (trackball)
After you power up the CVIM2 module, if the mouse pointer will not “track”
the mouse as you move it across a table top or other flat surface, and you are
using one of the above–listed devices, use the light pen to examine the
current serial communication port configuration and reconfigure, if
necessary, the specific port that you intend to use for mouse operation.
NOTE: When a port is configured for mouse operation, it cannot be used
for other data communication purposes.
To configure a serial communication port for mouse operation, use the light
pen to pick Environment in the main menu bar. When the Environment
menu appears, pick Comm Ports. When you do, the Comm Ports menu
appears, as illustrated by the example in Figure 1.4 (page 1–11).
In the example, it is assumed that the mouse is connected to PORT B of the
I/O interface box and the I/O interface cable is connected to the System I/O
connector on the CVIM2 front panel. In this case, you would pick System
I/O Port B in the Comm Ports menu.
When you pick System I/O Port B, the System I/O Port B setup table
appears, as shown in Figure 1.4. When you then pick Mouse in the small
scrolling list, the appropriate mouse settings for baud rate, parity, data bit,
and stop bit parameters in the setup table “lock” at the values shown in the
figure.

Figure 1.4 Example: Setting System I/O Port B to Mouse Function
Pick the button to save the port selections and exit the port setup table,
then perform these steps to check mouse operation:
• Verify that the mouse operates properly by moving it across a table top.
The mouse pointer should follow the mouse’s movement.
If the mouse pointer does not move at this time, cycle the CVIM2 power
off (for at least five seconds), then on, to enable mouse pointer operation.
• Verify that the mouse buttons operate by picking one or more of the items
on the main menu, using the left button. In each case, a pull–down menu
should appear.
(Note that the center mouse button can perform some of the functions of
the left button, for example, picking and dragging a panel across the
screen, selecting alternate panel sizes, and operating the scrolling
functions. The right button can alternately position a panel over or under
an overlapping panel.)

CVIM2 System Configuration: An Overview
This chapter discusses the basic phases of system configuration and the
major configuration functions in each phase. The details of the inspection
configuration process are provided in Chapter 3, Image Acquisition
Parameters, and Chapter 4, Inspection Configuration.
The discussions that follow assume that all CVIM2 system parameters are set
to their out–of–box default state. They also assume that you are already
familiar with the CVIM2 user interface and with using the light pen and/or
mouse to “navigate” the user interface.
After System Powerup
After a normal powerup, the monitor screen displays the CVIM2 “banner
message,” as shown in Figure 2.1.

The panel is shown in its initial state, before any configuration files have
been defined. At this time, you must enter an appropriate name in the Config
and Acq. Config fields in order to continue with the configuration process.
NOTE: You can add the Discrete I/O name and/or Message name at this
time, or later. (Note that to access the Discrete I/O and Communications
Editor panels, however, you must first enter names for these panels in the
Config Files panel.)

Picking the Editors Menu
The next step, after defining at least one configuration, is taken from the
Configuration Editor panel. You can access this panel from Editors in the
main menu bar. When you pick Editors, the Editors pulldown menu appears,
as shown in Figure 2.4.

Note also that you have four choices: Configuration, Acquisition, Discrete
I/O, and Communications. Briefly, this is what they mean:
• Configuration –– Use this editor to define one or more sets of inspection
tools for your application.
• Acquisition –– Use this editor to select the camera types, numbers of
cameras, trigger sources for acquiring camera images, and other
parameters relating to the acquisition of images.
• Discrete I/O –– Use this editor to assign signals and select parameters for
discrete inputs and outputs.
• Communications –– Use this editor to create messages for data
communications using serial I/O ports or the remote I/O port.

Selecting Configuration Parameters
When you pick Configuration, the Configuration Editor panel appears, as
shown in the example in Figure 2.5 (page 2–5).
The purpose of the Configuration Editor panel is to set up all of the
inspection application requirements for a single configuration file. Using this
panel, you can select the toolsets (up to six for one configuration file),
configure all of the inspection tools, set various acquisition and inspection
parameters, and perform the initial (“setup mode”) evaluations of the tools’
performance.
The CVIM2 system enters various default names for the toolsets (under the
“Inspection Name” heading and the “Archive Name” heading); however,
you can easily change any of these names to suit your inspection application.

When you finish the configuration of at least one toolset (and also select the
image acquisition parameters, as described in the next section), you can exit
the Configuration Editor panel and return to the main menu bar by picking
the
When you place the CVIM2 system online, the system executes the currently
selected configuration file. If the system is powered down, then powered up
again, it will automatically begin online operations using the last selected
configuration file –– in this example, it would use the “FrontLabel”
configuration file.
The CVIM2 system can store multiple configuration files in the CVIM2
system’s memory; thus, you can easily change inspection applications by
accessing the Config Files panel, highlighting (picking) another Config file
name listed in that panel, and then picking the

Selecting Image Acquisition Parameters
Your next step, after configuring a toolset, is to pick the button in
the Configuration Editor panel. When you pick this button, the Acquisition
Editor panel appears, as shown in the example in Figure 2.6.

The Acquisition Editor panel provides access to all of the parameters and
settings that the system uses to acquire an image for an inspection. The panel
contains two scrolling lists and several buttons, which are described briefly
as follows:
• Camera 1 – 6 –– The through buttons access the
corresponding Camera setup panels, from which you can perform focus
adjustments, light reference adjustments, and other related functions.
• Acquisition Systems Settings panel –– The button accesses
the Acquisition System Settings panel, from which you can select a
default camera enable synchronizing the CVIM2 system with external
devices or another CVIM2 system, and/or selecting parameters for
switching between camera banks 1 – 3 and 4 – 6.

Selecting Discrete I/O Parameters
After configuring a toolset and selecting acquisition parameters, your next
step is to pick Discrete I/O in the Editors menu. You can then select and
configure the discrete inputs and outputs to be used in your application.
When you pick Discrete I/O, the Discrete I/O Editor panel appears, as
shown in the example in Figure 2.7, provided that you have added a discrete
I/O file name in the Config Files panel, as noted on page 2–3.
Figure 2.7 Example: The Discrete I/O Editor Panel
The purpose of the Discrete I/O Editor panel is to configure the trigger
inputs and assign functions to the outputs as required for a particular
application. Using this panel, you can assign signals to the trigger inputs and
specify the minimum trigger signal pulse duration, and you can assign a
specific function to each output, such as toolset failure, tool warning, and so
on. When you finish, picking the
button returns to the main menu bar.
