Direct-Coupled General Purpose I/O (Gpio; Pin 1/Line 3, Pin 3/Line 4); Introduction - Basler acA2040-55 User Manual

AW00123409000
Figure 42 shows a typical circuit you can use to monitor the output line with an LED. In this example,
the voltage for the external circuit is +24 VDC. Current in the circuit is limited by an external resistor.

Introduction

The camera has two direct-coupled GPIO lines that are accessed via pins 1 and 3 of the 6-pin
connector on the back of the camera (see
The GPIO lines can be set to operate as inputs to the camera or to operate as camera outputs.
The GPIO lines are designated as Line 3 and Line 4 (see also Section 5.2.1 on
The direct-coupled GPIO lines are compatible with TTL signals.
The next sections describe the differences in the GPIO electrical functionality when the lines are set
to operate as inputs and when they are set to operate as outputs.
