Page 9: Installing The Mvs-8100
Steps to Install the MVS-8100 Caution Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of your Cognex hardware. Cognex recommends the use of a grounded anti-static wrist strap when handling any electronic components. Before installing your 8100, identify which 8100 you have, using the information in Table 1. - Page 10 J3 in the 1-2 position is about 750 mA. J3 Jumper with pins 1-2 covered for internal camera power Figure 2. J3 jumper position for internal camera power Cognex MVS-8100M Hardware Manual...
- Page 11 Note installation, with the board still configured for internal camera power, you may exceed the power limitations. For this reason, Cognex strongly recommends using J3 in the 2-3 position and using cable 300-0175, even when connecting a single camera to your 8100.
- Page 12 Normal operation is restored after the incorrect connection is removed. If you are installing one of the following cameras with the MVS-8100M or MVS-8100M+, see the additional instructions in Using Rapid Reset Cameras on page 17.

The settings for jumpers JP6 and JP7 affect all four camera ports. If you set these jumpers to use an external sync source, then you must use the external sync source on all cameras connected to the 8100M or 8100M+. Cognex MVS-8100M Hardware Manual... -
Page 15: Using Rapid Reset Cameras
Installing the MVS-8100M Using Rapid Reset Cameras Cognex uses the term rapid reset to describe electronic shutter control or trigger shutter control. Cameras that can be used in rapid reset mode include: • Sony XC-55 or XC-55 BB camera •... -

External camera synchronization signals (8100M and 8100M+ only). • One to four light modules, such as the Cognex acuLight and UltraLight products, that allow software-controlled dynamic light adjustment of the scene under a camera lens. See Installing Light Control Hardware on page 23. -
Page 17: Configuring Cameras
Installing the MVS-8100M Configuring Cameras Some of the cameras supported for use with the MVS-8100M require switch settings to work best with Cognex software, as described in the following sections. Configuring Sony XC-55 Cameras The 8100M and 8100M+ support the use of the Sony XC-55 and XC-55BB cameras. If you purchase your XC-55 cameras from Cognex, they arrive ready to use with the 8100. - Page 18 You can set switch 5 to ON in factory default mode to use field integration rather than frame integration (single field and half-resolution video formats only). Set the manual gain switch in the fully vertical position. Set the HD/VD switch to external (EXT). Set the 75Ω switch to ON. Cognex MVS-8100M Hardware Manual...

Page 19: Configuring Sony Xc-St50 Cameras
The 8100 supports the use of the Sony XC-ST50 family of cameras, including the XC-ST50CE. If you purchase your XC-ST50 cameras from Cognex, they arrive ready to use with the 8100. If you purchase your XC-ST50 from a third party, you must configure the camera as shown in this section. - Page 20 Installing the MVS-8100M Cognex MVS-8100M Hardware Manual...

Page 21: Chapter 2: Installing Light Control Hardware
Cognex frame grabber hardware and Cognex software can be used together to control Cognex light modules dynamically. This means that power to the LED arrays in the light module can be adjusted up or down in mode and intensity to obtain the best image to capture for vision processing. -
Page 22: Bright Field And Dark Field Illumination
If illumination in one direction does not produce a clear image, you can use dark field illumination in multiple directions. Cognex software is used to vary the ratio of bright field to dark field illumination to obtain the best image for vision processing. - Page 23 Installing Light Control Hardware When using one or more light control modules, Cognex strongly recommends setting jumper J3 with pins 2-3 covered, and using the external 12 V power cable, P/N 300-0175. This is because PCI slots are limited by the PCI standard to providing no more than 750 mA per slot.

Page 24: Connecting A Light Module
Case 1, standard configuration of one light module per camera port One Primary, One Auxiliary per Camera Your Cognex software package may also support the use of two light modules each for one or two camera ports. When there are two light modules per camera port, one light module is primary and one auxiliary. - Page 25 Table 7. Case 3, pairing cameras together and auxiliaries together Your Cognex software package may also support borrowing a light port from another camera port that has a camera connected but no light module. In this case, you can connect up to four cameras, of which two cameras have two light modules each and two cameras have no light modules.

The PWR (pin 3) and GND (pin 5) connections supply +5 V through current limiting resistors. This reduces the available voltage with significant current draw.

Page 42: Trigger Input
A pair of connections (TRIG+ and TRIG–) provide an optically isolated trigger input. To activate the interrupt, between 4 and 13 volts must be applied to the terminals. If your Cognex software package allows it, the input trigger's polarity is configurable with software commands. -
Page 43: Strobe Output
The strobe device to be triggered should have optically isolated inputs. For the original MVS-8100 and MVS-8100M (styles A and B), the strobe output signal is a pulse of 20 to 30 mA, with a duration of about two horizontal line scans. The active sense (or polarity) of this output is high. -
