CAUTION
Personal injury hazard and risk of damage to camera in case of short circuits.
Short circuits may cause an extreme rise in temperature of the camera's housing.
This may damage the camera and may also lead to person injuries, for example,
burns. In the worst case, the overheating may cause a fire.
In order to prevent that, limit the current flowing through each individual wire
during a short circuit. The maximum current allowed is 2 A. Use a fuse or use a
limited power supply.
1 Connect the Ethernet cable with screw connector to the camera.
2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the PC or the switch (if used).
3 If a switch is used, connect the switch to the PC.
4 Connect the power wires of the power/trig/strobe cable to the external power
supply accordingly.
In case no external power supply is used, connect to the controller.
5 Connect the trig/strobe wires of the power/trig/strobe cable to the robot
controller.
Note
If Runtime is shut down and restarted quickly, and with several Gigabit Ethernet
cameras, the Gigabit Ethernet performance driver may not be loaded properly
for some cameras. The symptom is that the camera for which the driver is not
loaded may occasionally fail to acquire an image, if the system is stressed. This
can be avoided by waiting for 15 seconds between shutting down and restarting.
