Point Grey Research Flea Trigger and Strobe The Point Grey Research Flea is a FireWire-B camera providing trigger and strobe support. The camera provides general-purpose I/O lines, but these are not available through Cognex I/O programming interface. Refer to the camera documentation for information on using these lines. A Cognex FireWire-B interface card is recommended. You can use a FireWire-A card (CFA- IC) with B-to-A adapter (CFA-B-ADPTR), but you will be limited to FireWire-A speed. The CFA-IC and CFB-IC-PCI adapters use the PCI bus. You can also use the CFB-ICE adapter that uses the PCIe bus and provides two backward-compatible FireWire-B ports and one FireWire-A port. The wiring diagram on the right includes a FireWire-B hub (CFB-HUB) that supports the use of multiple cameras on one adapter camera port. Additional hubs can be cascaded for supporting more cameras. Hubs are also used for extending the distance between a camera and the adapter. Most single camera systems will use the CFB-CBL- cable, connecting the adapter and camera with no hub. The trigger and strobe I/O (CFB-IO-CBL-FLEA) provides access to trigger and strobe connections. Note that all four I/O lines are green; the lines are identified by numeric flags attached to the individual wires. A -foot version of the cable (CFB-IO-CBL-FLEA-) is also available. All trigger and strobe lines use TTL-level signals.

Basler scout (FireWire) Trigger and Strobe The Basler scout FireWire-B camera provides trigger and strobe support. The camera provides general-purpose I/O lines, but these are not available through Cognex I/O programming interface. Refer to the camera documentation for information on using these lines. The standard I/O cable (CFB-IO-CBL-SCOUT) is intended for use in lowvoltage TTL (V) and CMOS (.V) environments only. Use the V cable (CFB-IO-CBL-BAS-V) with V equipment such as PLCs and relays. A Cognex FireWire-B interface card is recommended. You can use a FireWire-A card (CFA- IC) with B-to-A adapter (CFA-B-ADPTR), but you will be limited to FireWire-A speed. The CFA-IC and CFB-IC-PCI adapters use the PCI bus. You can also use the CFB-ICE adapter that uses the PCIe bus and provides two backward-compatible FireWire-B ports and one FireWire-A port. You can use a FireWire-B hub (CFB-HUB) that splits one input line into multiple output lines for supporting multiple cameras on one adapter camera port. Additional hubs can be cascaded for supporting several cameras or for extending the distance between a camera and the adapter. See page 7 for an example wiring diagram showing a FireWire-B hub and two FireWire-B cameras. Most single camera systems will use the CFB-CBL- cable as shown in the diagram on the right, connecting the adapter and camera with no hub. The trigger and strobe I/O (CFB-IO-CBL-SCOUT or CFB-IO-CBL-BAS-V) provides access to trigger and strobe connections. All trigger and strobe lines are opto-isolated. Both cables have the same wire colors, as listed in the following table.

Network Interface Card (NIC) (CGE-NIC) The Basler scout and pilot GigE Vision cameras provide trigger and strobe support. The cameras provide general-purpose I/O lines, but these are not available through Cognex I/O programming interface. Refer to the camera documentation for information on using these lines. Basler V power supply Ethernet cable (CGE-CBL-/) Y-cable (CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-Y) You must use the Cognex GigE Vision Configuration Tool to configure these cameras before using them. Ethernet switch (CGE-SWITCH) I/O cable: CFB-IO-CBL-SCOUT (TTL/CMOS) CFB-IO-CBL-BAS-V (PLCs) The standard I/O cable (CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-M) is intended for use in lowvoltage TTL (V) and CMOS (.V) environments only. Use the V cable (CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-V) with V equipment such as PLCs and relays. Camera Camera power and ground are supplied through pins on the -pin Hirose connector. If you provide power through the flying lead cable, make sure to use all four leads to avoid excessive voltage drop. If you are using the Basler power supply, which is equipped with a Hirose connector, you must use the Y-cable (CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-Y) in addition to the I/O cable (CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-M or CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-V) to connect trigger and strobe lines. Both types of wiring are shown on the next page. Refer to the camera documentation for specific power requirements. Camera r we Po To connect GigE Vision cameras to your PC you must use a dedicated network interface card (NIC) that is separate from the NIC your PC uses for network traffic. A Cognex-supplied NIC (CGE-NIC-, CGE-NIC, or CGE-NIC-) is recommended. O DI The wiring diagram on the right shows how to use a network switch (CGE-SWITCH) to connect multiple cameras. You can use additional switches, bridges, and routers to connect more cameras. You can also use a multi-port NIC. This NIC must be separate from the NIC your PC uses for network traffic. Camera Camera PWR Input Input The trigger and strobe I/O (CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-M or CGE-IO-CBL-BAS-V) provides access to trigger and strobe connections as well as power.

Basler ace (GigE Vision) Trigger and Strobe The Basler ace GigE Vision cameras provide trigger and strobe support. You must use the Cognex GigE Vision Configuration Tool to configure these cameras before using them. The standard I/O cable (CGE-IO-CBL-ACE-M) is intended for use in lowvoltage TTL (V) and CMOS (.V) environments only. Use the V cable (CGE-IO-CBL-ACE-V) with V equipment such as PLCs and relays. Camera power and ground may be supplied in two ways: through the RJ- Ethernet connector using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard or through pins and 6 on the 6-pin Hirose connector. If power is supplied through both sources, the camera will draw from the Hirose connector only. If you use the Basler power supply (CGE-PWR-ACE), you will not have access to the camera trigger and strobe lines. To connect GigE Vision cameras to your PC, you must use a dedicated network interface card (NIC) that is separate from the NIC your PC uses for network traffic. A Cognex-supplied NIC (CGE-NIC-, CGE-NIC, or CGE-NIC) is recommended. You can use a stand-alone PoE injector (CGE-POE-INJ-ACE) to provide power over the Ethernet connection, or you can use a PoE-enabled NIC (CGE-POE-NIC) to provide power to the camera. Alternately, you can use an integrated PoE injector/switch (CGE-POE-SWITCH8) to power multiple cameras over Ethernet. The wiring diagram on the right shows two externally powered cameras connected to a non- PoE network switch (CGE-SWITCH) as well as a third camera powered over Ethernet using a PoE injector (CGE-POE-INJ-ACE).

MVS-86 Opto-Isolated General-Purpose I/O On the MVS-86, opto-isolated programmable I/O is supported through the CIO-86-GPIO kit. Adjacent pairs of input lines share a common V pin, so if you want to use all the lines, you must wire the MVS-86 as a current sink. In addition to the general-purpose I/O lines, this module also provides access to TTL-level trigger and strobe connections. If you are using the Dual-LVDS configuration, you must use these lines to trigger your cameras, but for other configurations Cognex recommends that you use the appropriate I/O module for access to these lines. The I/O module also provides access to supplemental camera power outputs and both TTL and LVDS encoder inputs. Cognex recommends not using the camera power outputs and using the appropriate I/O module for encoder connections (those connections are shown in blue in the table). Signal Names The following table maps module lines to VisionPro software lines and Communications Explorer line names. The Label name refers to the printed label on the I/O module.

MVS-86 Single LVDS Encoder (Line Scan) To connect a single LVDS encoder for use with one or two line scan cameras, use the CIO- 86-LVDS I/O kit. This configuration lets you connect trigger inputs, strobe outputs, and LVDS encoder inputs for a single line scan camera, one line scan and one area scan camera, or two line scan cameras sharing a single LVDS encoder. The MVS-86 clamps encoder inputs to +V. Cognex recommends that you use encoders that output no more than +VDC. Both TTL and opto-isolated trigger and strobe connections are supported. Keep in mind that you must specify, in software, which I/O configuration you are using. See MVS-86 Hardware Manual.

MVS-86 Dual LVDS Encoder (Line Scan) To connect dual LVDS encoders for use with a line scan camera, use the CIO-86-DLVDS I/O kit. This configuration lets you connect LVDS encoder inputs from two LVDS encoders. Unlike the single LVDS or single/dual TTL configurations, the dual LVDS configuration does not allow you to connect any trigger inputs or strobe outputs directly to the I/O module. Instead, use the CIO-86-DLVDS-TRG kit to connect a trigger input or inputs (opto-isolated only). The MVS-86 clamps encoder inputs to +V. Cognex recommends that you use encoders that output no more than +VDC. In addition to providing for trigger inputs, the CIO-86-GPIO kit also provides full access to the general-purpose programmable input and output lines. Keep in mind that you must specify, in software, which I/O configuration you are using. See MVS-86 Hardware Manual.
