Power Sources

The xS40 and xS70 devices can be powered through the 12-pin M12 connector, Power over Ethernet (PoE), or USB Type C for maximum flexibility. A power priority scheme selects power from the M12 connector over PoE, and PoE over USB-C to ensure the least restrictive power source is utilized. Changes to the power source trigger a reboot.
Since power from any source is finite, a budget is automatically derived by the vision system and dynamically allocated to prevent an overload condition. Allocation is based on sensor type and enabled features such as Ethernet PHY’s, digital outputs, and advertised USB Type C port current. Models with internal illumination reduce illumination intensity or duration to operate within budget, and may disable internal illumination entirely if necessary.
NOTE: It is recommended to develop jobs with power sources and auxiliary equipment in the final intended configuration to prevent mismatch at deployment.

12 Pin M12 Power Input

If the input voltage is above 21.5 V, the vision system enables up to 1.5 A output to the USB Type C connector and allows for simultaneous operation of internal and external illumination. If the external light connector is placed in external light mode, power is shunted from the power supply directly to the light through a bypass circuit able to support the high peak currents of strobe lights. A self-resettable fuse prevents physical overload of the 12 pin M12 connector.
Installation
If less than 21.5 V is provided to the device, the advertised USB Type C current is lowered to 500 mA and overall power budget is reduced. This may impact allowable internal illumination configurations. As a result, a 24 V industrial power supply capable of high pulse currents of long duration is recommended for best performance.

Power Over Ethernet

The xS40 and xS70 devices support operation from power sourcing equipment meeting the 802.3at class 4 (30 W) or 802.3af class 3 (15.4 W) IEEE Power Over Ethernet (PoE) standards. These are commonly referred to as PoE+ and PoE respectively by equipment providers.
Peak power draw must be strictly maintained within the power envelope of the power sourcing equipment. If the external light connector is enabled in external light mode, the vision system generates 24 V to power the external light with the following limitations in place:
Simultaneous activation of the internal and external illumination is not permitted.
Auto-strobe lights with high pulse current are not supported and trip over current protection in the vision
system, disabling the external light connector.
External lights with adjustable intensity may be used, provided the peak current draw is below the over current protection limit. It is recommended to start with the lowest intensity setting and work upwards, or to use the auto-tune feature.
Power over Ethernet requires an extra regulation step which incurs additional thermal buildup within the device. As a result, the specified operating temperature range is reduced when powered by PoE.

USB Type C

USB Type C allows for novel and cost-effective installations provided the following constraints are acceptable:
Digital GPIO are unavailable
27
Installation
Optocoupled GPIO is still functional provided the COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT are properly terminated.
The External Light Connector is disabled and cannot be used in GPIO or External Light modes.
0 V to 10 V analog output is disabled.
Internal illumination is limited or requires a USB power source with further capabilities to be enabled at
any capacity.
CAUTION: The xS40 and xS70 devices boot from legacy USB host ports, however, current draw is not guaranteed to be under 500 mA and device functionality may be restricted to the extent that performance can be impaired. An override mode can be enabled for legacy host ports that are known by the operator to be capable of supplying up to 1.5 A. Ports of this type are often described as having USB BC1.2 or USB charging support.

Grounding for Electro-Magnetic Compliance and ESD Safe

The vision system is designed with a rugged metal chassis connected internally to ground for robust Electro-Magnetic Compliance (EMC) and ESD Safe operation. Do not mount to any conductive object, body, structure, or mechanism that may become connected to line voltage or a voltage potential other than Protected Earth Ground. Chassis grounding via cable shield, mounting screws, or low inductance ground strap to a local Protected Earth Ground is acceptable.
NOTE: There is no galvanic connection to Earth Ground when the device is powered over an unshielded Ethernet cable. In this scenario, grounding to local Earth Ground through another cable shield, mounting screw, or ground strap is required for ESD Safe compliance and best practice for EMC.

Using the Smart Camera
This section describes using the FS/VS Smart Camera and optimizing the device’s utility for its use case by leveraging its connection interfaces.

USB Type C

The xS40 and xS70 devices implement a full capability 5 Gbps USB 3.0 USB Type C port with support for DisplayPort Alt Mode. The sealed port implements a standard USB Type C dual screw lock mechanism for secure connections. When paired with the IP67 series of Zebra screw locking cables, the interface maintains a full IP67 seal.
CAUTION: The sealing gasket on IP67 series Zebra USB Type C cables require adequate pressure for proper seal and connector engagement. Always tighten the locking screws when using these cables, even if IP67 sealing is not required.
When connected as a peripheral to a USB host, the xS40 and xS70 devices can be configured to support the following functionality:
RNDIS Ethernet over USB
HID keyboard
When operating as a host, the USB Type C port supports many types of accessories and functionality, including:
Native USB-C displays
USB-C to Display Port and USB-C to HDMI adaptors
HID compliant mice, keyboards, and trackpads
USB mass storage devices for firmware updates
USB docks and hubs
NOTE: DisplayPort output is only supported over USB Type C to Type C cables capable of
SuperSpeed data rates. High speed cables, often described as charging cables, do not have the necessary data wires for DisplayPort functionality.

Supported Display Resolutions

Display resolution is automatically negotiated upon connection. Displays with at least 1920 x 1080 resolution provide the best user experience.
The FS/VS Smart Camera series supports the following resolutions:
1024 x 768
39
1280 x 800
1280 x 1024
1366 x 768
1600 x 900
1600 x 1050
1920 x 1080
1920 x 1200
NOTE: Monitors with USB-C input offer an efficient method for quick and easy configuration over a
single USB Type C to Type C cable. An attached xS40 or xS70 device powers directly from the monitor’s USB Power Delivery and output the Human Machine Interface (HMI) directly to the display. A USB mouse and keyboard attached to the monitor hub ports provide the user with interface control. Battery powered portable USB Type C monitors are also compatible for easy status or manipulation in the field.

General Purpose Input and Outputs

The xS40 and xS70 devices have two types of general-purpose inputs and outputs (GPIO). GPIO0 through GPIO3 are optically coupled to provide electrical isolation and wiring flexibility. GPIO4 through GPIO8 are 24 V Digital GPIO, which are not isolated and source power from the external power supply or Power over Ethernet (PoE). Digital GPIO is unavailable when the system is powered by USB, however, optocoupled GPIOs remain functional when COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT are terminated appropriately.

Optically Coupled GPIO

Optocoupled GPIO have the advantage of being electrically isolated from the rest of the vision system and require external reference through the COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT wires. The termination of COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT to an external voltage or ground determines if the input or output is Sinking (also known as NPN) type or Sourcing (also known as PNP) type.
In output mode, these GPIO perform similarly to switches connecting the GPIO pin to COMMON_OUT. When disabled, the GPIO pin is disconnected from COMMON_OUT and allowed to float. As a result, optocoupled outputs turn on relatively quickly, while the turn off time is dependent upon how quickly the connected load dissipates charge.

Optocoupled GPIO can be operated in a non-isolated fashion by terminating COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT to the DC_IN or GND wires used to power the device.

The following table provides a useful reference for such connections.

COMMON_IN GND Sinking Input (NPN)
COMMON_IN DC_IN Sourcing Input (PNP)
COMMON_OUT GND Sinking Output (NPN)
COMMON_OUT DC_IN Sourcing Output (PNP)
While it is possible to configure inputs and outputs of the same type, this is not recommended as inputs and outputs must be of opposite type to be compatible. All optocoupled GPIO share the COMMON_IN for input mode and COMMON_OUT for output mode. Therefore, all inputs must be of the same type and all outputs must be of the same type. For example, it is not possible to simultaneously configure sinking output on GPIO0 and sourcing output on GPIO1.
In practice, sinking inputs paired with sourcing outputs is very common. This combination is compatible with widely available digital industrial GPIO, which typically only support sinking type inputs.
NOTE: Refer to the documentation of the connected auxiliary equipment to ensure a compatible configuration, and remember to leave unused GPIO in a disabled state.
Optocoupled outputs are individually fused to protect against damage from short circuit or overload events. Since no power is consumed from the vision system, optocoupled GPIO are always available regardless of power source and have no impact on power budgeting.

Digital Industrial GPIO

Unlike optocoupled GPIO, digital GPIO actively drive the output signal high and low for significantly faster turn on and turn off time. Digital GPIO is not isolated, and therefore referenced to the power supply and ground of the vision system. COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT do not need to be terminated to use digital GPIO.
NOTE: Refer to the documentation of the connected auxiliary equipment to ensure a compatible configuration, and remember to leave unused GPIO in a disabled state.
IMPORTANT: A digital GPIO can be configured as a 24 V output and wired back in to COMMON_IN or COMMON_OUT to create the necessary bias voltage to operate optocoupled GPIO when the system is powered by PoE. It is important to be aware of the 100 mA total current budget per digital GPIO when attaching loads to any optocoupled outputs powered this way.
Digital inputs on xS40 and xS70 devices are of the sinking (NPN) input type and do not support the less common sourcing (PNP) input configuration. Voltage above the specified threshold relative to the vision system ground must be applied for a logic high to register. Drive these inputs with a sourcing (PNP) or push-pull output.
Configuring the 5-pin M12 External Light connector to GPIO Mode makes GPIO6 through GPIO8 available for general use. Configuring the External Light connector to External Light Mode switches GPIO8 into a high current output to provide power and sets up GPIO6 and GPIO7 to control the connected light.
IMPORTANT: When the vision system is powered by an external power supply, and the External Light connector is configured for External Light mode, GPIO8 operates in a bypass mode capable of shunting input power directly to high power strobe lights. Extremely high peak currents are possible with adequate power supply capability, minimized cable losses, and observing duty cycle limits that keep average current into the entire system below 1500 mA.

The vision system is equipped with an analog output on the External Light connector capable of generating between 0 V and 10 V. An output impedance of approximately 400 ohms protects the analog output driver against overload conditions, however, this introduces an offset in output voltage that is directly proportional to the output current. For optimal accuracy, connect devices with low input bias current.

Power and Thermal Management

Sophisticated algorithms keep operation of the machine vision system within acceptable power and thermal parameters to ensure reliable operation over the product lifetime.
CAUTION: If the available power budget is not adequate for configured settings, a warning is indicated to the
user. In some cases, the user can choose to ignore or override the warning, in which case, operational stability of the system should be evaluated by the integrator.
Temperature is actively monitored at critical points within the system. Whenever a safe limit is exceeded the system response may include disabling of certain features, reduction of processor performance, or stopping active jobs.
If overheating is a problem, effective mitigation strategies include:
Reducing the average system power consumption
Avoiding continuous trigger mode
Lowering trigger rate
Using external illumination
Avoiding operating from PoE
Operating in a cooler environment
Actively cooling with a fan
Heatsinking the chassis to a large thermally conductive mounting surface through a thermally
conductive mounting system
For optimal performance, ensure that the device does not exceed the recommended operating ranges listed below
:
Table 19 Operating Temperature
Temperature Operating Range
Ambient Temperature
Note 1: If temperatures exceed the operating range, additional heat sinking strategies may be necessary, i.e. mounting to a metal infrastructure or forced convection via an external fan.

Figure 38 Obtain Hostname from Label
Open a web browser and enter http://<HOSTNAME> and press enter.
Figure 39 Enter Hostname into Browser
Figure 40 Access Web HMI
Alternatively, the device’s IP can be accessed directly by using six digits (shown below as X and Y) included in the serial number.
66
Zebra Aurora Software Overview
Example:
12XXX345678YYY - where the values for XXX and YYY form the third and fourth octet of the device’s USB
IP address:
The USB IP address is in the format: 172.16.XXX.YYY
If XXX is less than 256; XXX; otherwise XXX = XXX Modulo 256
If YYY is less than 256, YYY; otherwise YYY = YYY Modulo 256.
The two examples below show how to calculate the USB IP address:
Example 1: Both XXX and YYY are less than 256
SN:21097520180161
XXX = 097
YYY = 161
USB IP Address = 172.16.97.161
Example 2: XXX is greater than 256 and YYY is greater than 256:
SN:21364520180597
XXX = 364 (Since this value is greater than 256, perform a Modulo operation)
XXX = 364%256 = 108
YYY = 597 (Since this value is greater than 256, perform a Modulo operation)
YYY = 597%256 = 85
USB IP Address = 172.16.108.85
2. If connected via Ethernet directly to the PC:
The IP address should fit the format 169.254.x.y., where x and y are the last four characters of the MAC
address converted from hex to decimal.
Example:
MAC Address: 78:b:d6:5c:6d:f2
6D (hex) - 109 (decimal)
F2 (hex) - 242 (decimal)
IP = 169.254.109.242
3. If connected via Ethernet to a network via switch or hub, use the DHCP address from the network/router
configuration.
For all connection methods, users are also able to access the device via hostname instead of IP address. The hostname consists of the device part number and the last four characters of the MAC address:
Example:
Part Number - VS40
MAC Address - 78:b:d6:5c:6d:f2
Hostname = VS406df2

Cleaning the Device

Routinely cleaning the exit window is required. A dirty window may affect scanning accuracy. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.
To clean the device:
1. Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above or use pre-moistened wipes.
2. Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom. Never apply liquid directly to the scanner. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the scanner window, trigger, cable connector or any other area on the device.
3. Be sure to clean the trigger and in between the trigger and the housing (use a cotton-tipped applicator to reach tight or inaccessible areas).
4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the exit window.
5. Wipe the scanner exit window with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses.
6. Immediately dry the scanner window after cleaning with a soft non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
7. Allow the unit to air dry before use.
8. Scanner connectors:
a. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
b. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector on the
Zebra scanner at least 3 times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.
c. Use the cotton-tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector
area.
Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connectors at least three times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.
