Page 6: Overview
1. Overview 1.1. Description Strobe controllers are used for strobing LED illuminations in machine vision applications. Very high-power pulses are aligned to external trigger with high accuracy. Precise current overdrive and short exposure time on camera are used for acquiring clear images of fast moving objects. User adjustable output voltage provides high efficiency and low power consumption. -

Page 32: Interfaces For Configuration
IEEE 802.3az Table 19: Supported Ethernet Standards Note: Using a 10/100Mbit network adapter for a direct connection to an IPSC and HPSC1 strobe controller makes it necessary to use cross-over cabling (HPSC1 v2, HPSC2 and HPSC4 excluded). 4.2. Serial RS-232 To connect a strobe controller to the PC using its RS-232 interface, a D-SUB DB9 cable (RS232) can be used. -

Note: The IPSCs and HPSCs series can be connected using a straight-through cable. 4.3. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Strobe controllers providing a USB interface can be connected by an USB1.x/2.0 cable providing Type-A to -B connectors. Pin no. Signal Table 21: USB-B connector assignment The USB connection is detected by the operating system as an USB-to-Serial converter and provides a serial COM-port. -
Page 34: Status Leds
Due to the different microcontroller architecture and differences in the boot- up routine, the HPSC1 and others (HPSC1 v2, HPSC2 and HPSC4) are slightly different in signaling. They are coded as shown in the following sections. -

Page 41: Device Configuration With The Sclibclient
7. Device Configuration with the ScLibClient The ScLibClient is a graphical user interface application for strobe controller discovery, configuration and status. It is part of the ScLib which is a collection of software tools, programming samples and documentation to configure, run and integrate devices into user applications. -
Page 42: Find Devices
7.1. Find Devices Run the ScLibClient and click Find icon to start searching for devices. Figure 24: ScLibClient – Discovery Button 7.2. Discovery by Broadcast The usual way to identify available devices on Ethernet, RS-232 or USB is to search for them using a broadcast. -
Page 43: Ethernet Specific Discovery Options
(as shown in Figure 22), 16 addresses will be searched starting with the address in the left box. Note: Search for IP is currently supported only by HPSC1 v2, HPSC2 and HPSC4 devices and this will not find and IPSCx or HPSC1 Strobe controllers. Figure 27: ScLibClient – Search by IP Depending on the type of connection that is used towards the strobe controller, the results of a search might be different. - Page 44 In case no DHCP server is available in the network (peer-to-peer connection, switch, router without DHCP activated), the IP address of IPSCx and HPSC1 devices is set to the invalid IP address “0.0.0.0”, while HPSC1 v2, HPSC2 and HPSC4 devices receive an LLA address.
- Page 45 When the Strobe Controller is in a different network as the PC, it can be discovered using Search by IP and connected only if the gateway is correctly set.

Page 47: Running Modes
7.6. Running Modes All Strobe Controllers can be operated in different Running Modes, supporting pulsed and continuous DC current output. Figure 32: ScLibClient – Running Modes In pulse-controlled output modes, a Strobe Controller generates electrical impulses on the output. The output pulses in this mode can be triggered by an external, internal or software generated trigger source. -

7.6.1. The controller is in idle mode and does not respond to any input triggers. There is no voltage on any output line. 7.6.2. External Trigger In the External Trigger mode, the device is ready to accept external trigger signals and generates a very precise output pulse according to the user configuration. -
Page 49: Output Parameters
7.7. Output Parameters Using the output parameters, current and voltage can be configured individually for each channel. These parameters should only be applied carefully, meeting the specifications of the connected LED illumination. Too high output parameters can lead to permanent damage of the illumination. -

If the trigger edge is not the same between camera and strobe controller, asynchronization may occur between them. - Page 53 The Trigger Input(s) parameters are not used if the controller is in Continuous, External Switch or Off mode. The HPSC1 v2, HPSC2 and HPSC4 series provide different trigger Delay/On times for LED and OUT used for manual synchronization of camera and light source.
