If you are not installing the camera port expansion panel, proceed to the next step. If you are installing the camera port expansion panel, Cognex P/N 300-0177, secure it in an unused bus slot position. Connect the 30-pin connector to the camera expansion header (JP3) on the MVS-8100L so that the red edge of the ribbon cable connector aligns with pin 1 as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

If you are not using the trigger and strobe expansion panel, proceed to the next step. If you are using the trigger and strobe expansion panel, Cognex P/N 800-0062, install it in an unused slot position. Connect the ribbon cable to connector JP4 on the MVS-8100L so that pin1 on both connectors are aligned as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7.

When using camera port 1 for trigger and strobe signals, you must use camera splitter cable, Cognex P/N 300-0178, to separate the trigger and strobe lines from the camera control lines. This cable splits out the four lines on pins 1, 3, 6, and 8 of camera port 1 to an RJ-12 jack.

MVS-8100L Hardware Description Trigger and Strobe Expansion Panel The trigger and strobe expansion panel, Cognex P/N 800-0062, carries trigger, strobe, and status lines from the trigger and strobe jack, JP4, on the MVS-8100L to a DB-9F connector on the back panel of the host PC. Figure 17 shows the trigger and strobe expansion panel.
The PWR (pin 3) and GND (pin 5) connections on the DB-9F connector supply +5 V through current limiting resistors. This reduces the available voltage with significant current draw. See your Cognex software documentation for a description of the software interface for the MVS-8100L external I/O connections. Trigger and Strobe Header Figure 19 shows the pin numbering for the trigger and strobe header jack, JP4, on the MVS-8100L.
