2.7 Converting Camera Link Output to RS-644
with a k-BIC
On the l800
k
change commands are issued to the camera using RS-644 serial communication via the frame
grabber. On older cameras, video data was output using an RS-644 LVDS format and commands
were issued using RS-232 serial communication via the host PC. The output from l800
can be converted to the older style of output by using a Basler Interface Converter for k-series
cameras (k-BIC). The k-BIC is a small device that attaches to the l800
compatible cable. For complete information on the k-BIC, refer to the k-BIC Users Manual and the
k-BIC installation guide.

Caution!
Be sure that all power to your system is switched off before you make or break
connections to the camera. Making or breaking connections when power is on
can result in damage to the camera.
The camera is not protected for reverse voltage. If reverse voltage is applied
to the camera while it is connected to a frame grabber in a PC, the camera
could be seriously damaged. Refer to Table
power pin assignments.
The camera has overvoltage protection, but we do not recommend applying an
input voltage greater than 13.2 VDC. If an input voltage greater than 14.5 VDC
is applied to the camera, the camera will automatically switch off the internal
power applied to the CCD sensor so that the sensor will be protected. In this
situation, you will still be able to communicate with the camera and the camera
will still be able to transmit test images, however, no live images can be gen-
erated.
