1. Introduction

1.1 General Description

The UP-680/UP-680CL is a 10-bit, 659 x 494 full frame resolution digital CCD camera using
progressive scanning interline-transfer technology. The square pixels are especially suitable for
processing, measuring, and analyzing tasks. High speed moving objects can easily be captured
with the external asynchronous capture control. This compact and lightweight camera offers
excellent signal to noise performance. It’s compatible with most popular frame grabbers in the
market. The “user-friendly” RS-232C interface control allows users to control all camera functions
without physically touching the camera.

1.2 Features

• 1/2” Progressive scan CCD imager

• 659 x 494 active pixels

• 10-bit RS-644/Camera Link output

• Full frame shutter (1/60 ~ 1/62,000 sec.)

• <58 dB

• Asynchronous capture

• 60 Hz frame rate (120Hz binning)

• 25 MHz data clock

• Long-term frame integration

• External exposure control

• RS232C interface control

• C-mount lens

1.3 Applications

UP-680/UP-680CL applications include high-speed machine vision, automated inspection, motion
capture and analysis, and other industrial applications.

2. Camera Setup

A basic camera and frame grabber system setup, as shown in Figure 1 below, requires a UP­680/UP-680CL camera, a standard C-mount lens, a PS-12C power supply or equivalent, a PC
system and a VGA monitor, a frame grabber, and an external trigger device if necessary.

3. Camera Functions

3.1 12-Pin Connector

The 12-pin Hirose connector is located on the
rear panel of the camera. All ground signals
on pin 1, 3, 5, and 8 are common grounds.
+12 V DC input is recommended on pin 2, but
this camera should withstand +12 V ± 1V
input voltage. Make sure to set the NM/AM
switch to NM position for external HD and VD
locking. For HD (pin 6) and VD (pin 7)
inputs, TTL signals are required (see section

6.6 for details). For asynchronous capture
(VINT) applications, refer to section 6 for
details. For RS-232C interface control via this
12-pin connector, use pin # 10 and #12.
Figure 2 below shows a top view of the 12-pin
Hirose connector.
