BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Below are examples how inputs and outputs must be connected to obtain input and output function. NOTE These inputs / outputs are galvanically decoupled from the supply voltage of the SMARTCAMERA. For this reason, Common In and Common out must always be connected, even if only one input or output function is required.
BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Output connection If I/O 0 is configured as output, the supply voltage is applied at the output and the actuator, PLC input is supplied with it if 1 is being output. The output is connected with GND if 0 is being output.
BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 4.4.4 I/O light The I/O light interface provides 24 volt and two I/O signals (I/O 6 & I/O 7). These I/Os, similar to the two I/Os at the power plug connectors (see “Power” on page 16), are equipped with a push-pull output stage and a PNP input.
BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 4.4.5 I/O The IO interface furnishes six galvanically isolated I/O 24V switching signals for the connec- tion with sensors, actuator or PLC. All inputs and all outputs have a Common In or Common Out reference potential. This allows using the I/Os either for PNP logic or NPN logic.

BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Figure 10 PNP mode, I/O 0 configured as output The output current of an I/O may not exceed 100 mA. If the output is being overloaded, e.g. by a short circuit, it is switched off and periodically checked whether the fault occurrence is still present.

BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NPN mode NPN logic is predominantly used in Asia. The output is sinking, the input is sourcing. To operate the IO port in NPN mode, Common Out must be supplied with 0 V and Common In with +24 V (19.2…30 V If I/O 0 is configured as input, it can be connected directly with the NPN output of a sensor, a PLC or similar.

BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 6 STARTUP Updating software The Balluff website regularly offers new software updates. These may include error fixes, speed optimizations or added functions. NOTE To get the maximum benefit from the SMARTCAMERA it is recom- mended to regularly update the SMARTCAMERA with software up- dates.
Page 35
BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 6 STARTUP ATTENTION Never disconnect the camera from power during an update. This can result in irreparable damage to the SMARTCAMERA. After a few minutes the update will be finished and the Power LED will change to green. The SMARTCAMERA is now ready for use.
BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 6 STARTUP Network topologies For the startup of the SMARTCAMERA , it is first integrated in the network environment. The different options are described in the following examples. This covers a large part of the application cases. To operate the SMARTCAMERA requires that the supply voltage is pro- vided via the power connection in any case.
BVS SC-_1280Z00-70-000 SMARTCAMERA IO 6 STARTUP The following sections describe the configuration of the individual interfaces in detail. System settings Below is a description of system settings. They can be reached via the System Settings selection in the system menu. Figure 20 System menu The system menu is located in the upper section of the user interface.
