The device has an external digital I/O interface 16 IN / 16 OUT, PNP for the
configuration "Digital I/O card ADDI-DATA”. The digital on-board I/O interface is
disabled when using this configuration.
The device has an external digital I/O interface 16 IN / 16 OUT, NPN for the
configuration "Digital I/O card ADLINK”. The digital on-board I/O interface is
disabled when using this configuration.
A monitor can be connected to the device to display the boot process or the
outputs of a test program.
Use the DVI port on the device. For monitors with a VGA interface, a DVI-VGA
adapter is included in delivery.
6.3.4 Connect the cameras
The device has four GigE Vision ports.
Connect the cameras to the corresponding ports.
The ports provide a supply voltage for cameras via PoE. If the connected
camera does not support PoE, an external power supply is required. Connect
these according to manufacturer's specifications.
Use of switches
By using a Gigabit Ethernet switch up to 8 cameras can be connected to the
device. However, in this process the bandwidth is divided between the cameras
used, so the full frame rat may not be possible.
ADVICE
Requirements of the switch
•
Support for Jumbo Frames
•
A minimum of 64 kB buffer available per port
Line scan cameras
ADVICE
Line scan cameras must be operated alone at one port.
6.3.7 Connect the digital I/O interface (Digital I/O card ADDIDATA)
NOTICE
Damage of the outputs through inductive loads
•
With induced loads the outputs have to be switched with a free-wheeling
diode anti-parallel to the load.
NOTICE
Destruction caused by potential differences
•
The ground potential (GND) of the digital inputs and outputs of the device
must be connected to the ground potential (GND) of the control voltage of
the device to be controlled.
Connecting
The components required for connecting are available as accessories. see
"Accessories for the option Digital I/O card ADDI-DATA", Page 13
Connect the 37-pin D-Sub connector of the device's I/O expansion card to the
process environment using one of the following two variants:
6.3.8 Connect the digital I/O interface (Digital I/O card
ADLINK)
NOTICE
Destruction caused by potential differences
•
The ground potential (GND) of the digital inputs and outputs of the device
must be connected to the ground potential (GND) of the control voltage of
the device to be controlled.
Connecting
The components required for connecting are available as accessories. see
"Accessories for the option Digital I/O card ADLINK", Page 13
1. Connect the I/O cable 50-pin SCSI-II with the SCSI-II connector of the
expansion card.
2. Connect the other end of the cable with the SCSI-II-50-pin terminal block.
3. Connect the ground potential (GND) of the digital inputs and outputs of the
device with the ground potential (GND) of the control voltage of the device
to be controlled.
4. Connect the digital I/Os of the device to be controlled to the SCSI-II-50-pin
terminal block.
The devices is configured and parametrised with the operating software vcwin
pro. The current version can be found on the homepage http://www.vision-control.com/products in the path Vision Systems > Operating Software.
The Software must be installed on the PC.
Start and terminate vcwin pro
The vcwin pro software is started by either double-clicking on the vcwin pro
icon or from the Windows start menu by calling Start > Programs > Vision &Control GmbH > vcwin pro > Vision & Control vcwin pro. Terminate vcwin
pro with ALT+F4 or with the menu item File > Exit.
Choose the interface in vcwin pro
After having started vcwin pro, you should choose the port to which the vision
system is connected by calling Communication > Interface from the menu.
Connecting the device with vcwin pro
Connect the device by calling Communication > Connect.
6.4.1 Create a LAN connection / direct connection
1. Start the operating software vcwin pro on the PC.
2. Open the window Communication Parameters by calling Communication >Interface.
The settings made here are used during each connection setup.
4. With the [Search] button, all available devices, on the same subnet, are
displayed (UDP broadcast to all participants).
5. Select the appropriate device.
6. Optionally, you can also enter the name and IP address of your device.
7. Click the [OK] button to accept the values.
ADVICE
Factory setting: The device searches for a DHCP server during initialization
in the LAN. If no DHCP server is available, a static IP address is used
(default: 192.168.3.180).
If the device can not be found, a monitor can be connected and the IP can be
read off during initialisation.
The search function in the TCP/IP tab of the dialogue Communication
Parameters only detects devices in the same subnet. For devices in different
subnets, the configuration data must be entered manually.
6.4.2 Create a serial connection
The Serial 1 interface on the device is used for serial communication.
1. Connect the device directly to the PC using a RS232 cable.
2. Start the operating software vcwin pro on the PC.
Configure the interface by calling Communication > Interface in the menu.
3. Switch to the RS232 tab.
4. Select the COM interface of your computer.
5. Set the baud rate to 9600. Once connected, the baud rate can be adjusted.
6. Deactivate RTS/CTS (Hardware handshake of the RS232 interface).
The device is maintenance-free. Depending on the operating environment, it
may have to be cleaned.
