Connecting Cameras - ABB PickMaster Twin - PowerPac Applications Manual

2.6.2 Connecting cameras

Introduction to camera connections
The camera does not receive power voltage through the Ethernet cable. A separate
connection provides power and I/O functions, this is the power/trig/strobe cable.
We recommend using an external power supply for the Gigabit Ethernet cameras.
This way, they will receive power regardless if the robot controller is turned on or
not. If the camera is supplied with power directly from the robot controller it will
shut down when the controller is turned off. Runtime can not reconnect to a camera
that has been shut down and restarted. This means that if Runtime is running when
a controller that serves as a camera power supply is shut down, Runtime must be
restarted after the controller has been switched on again. This problem is avoided
by using an external power supply.
A 4-port NIC board in the options must be used for the Gigabit Ethernet cameras.
And the cameras cannot use the same network card with the controller. Or the
pictures will be affected.
The jumbo packet function of the network card is to be turned on when using with
the camera.
The schematics of how the trigger strobe and power wires from the camera must
be connected to the robot controller I/O board can be seen in the circuit diagrams,
see Circuit diagram - PickMaster Twin, 3HAC024480-020. Detailed information
about avoiding EMI/ESD problems is described in

Prerequisites
Make sure all power is switched off before connecting cameras.
