BAE PD-VS-014-05 6 STARTUP Updating software The Balluff website regularly offers new software updates on our website. The updates contain bug fixes, performance optimization, or functional extensions. NOTE We recommend updating the SmartVision Controller from time to time to derive maximum benefit from the SmartVision Controller.
BAE PD-VS-014-05 6 STARTUP Updating Balluff Camera firmware If the Balluff SmartVision Controller software was updated, you can update the firmware of connected Balluff Cameras. Insert the address or URL of the Balluff SmartVision Controllers. Select in the action menu "Configuration" the tool "Set up camera".
I/Os; the interaction of the Balluff SmartVision Controller via the Gigabit Ethernet (LAN) conntector or the fieldbus. This allows, e.g. to initiate the trigger or query the status of the Balluff SmartVision Con- troller or the industrial camera.
Webmin supports the browsers Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Edge. Open a browser and enter the address or URL of the Balluff SmartVision Controller adding port 10000 at the end. This address can look like this: "https://svc-000110:10000/". Please take care of the "https", because it is a secured connection.

Device master data To parameterize the IO controller true to type, the device master data in form of a GSDML file are needed. The file is located on the Balluff website (see www.balluff.com). Input/output buffer The data exchange with the host system takes place in the input and output buffer. The size of these buffers must be configured by the master (IO controller).
Page 38
The GSDML file makes the possible data mod- ules (inputs/outputs for the Balluff SmartVision Controller) available. For the configura- tion of the Balluff SmartVision Controller, the matching data modules are assigned to a specific slot.
