Introduction Intended use The camera EoSens® CL belongs to the product class of so-called high-speed machine vision (MV) cameras that are integrated into test or measurement systems. High-speed MV cameras are designed to capture images with high frame rate for various purposes in an industrial or scientific environment to deliver image data for further analysis.
Optional accessories Lenses Only lenses for industrial purpose are suitable. To find lenses or other accessories, visit www.mikrotron.de/en. Cable KKRDCLSRxx: CameraLink cables with lengths from 0.5 to 8 m are available. INFO If the cable length exceeds 8m, high-quality cables are required. In order to use Full camera link, two cables for each camera are needed.
The camera Camera description The CMOS 1.3 Megapixel CameraLink cameras offer a high photo sensitivity and therefore make inspection in low light conditions possible. Both BASE and FULL mode cameras are available as monochrome and color version. Mikrotron CameraLink cameras comply with the CameraLink standard. The camera link standard defines the following items: Three configuration types BASE, MEDIUM and FULL with different data transfer speeds...
Operating temperature Despite of its high performance, the fanless 1.3CL camera is compact and works silently. If the camera is mounted on mechanical parts, the heat generated during operation will be dissipated by the cooling fins at the rear of the camera and the mechanical parts.
Fig.: 3-1: Interfaces of the camera EoSens® CL 1 FULL interface 2 BASE interface 3 LED 4 6-pin Hirose socket This connection allows a standardized real-time communication between frame grab- ber and camera via the standardized CameraLink machine vision protocol. The 6-pin Hirose connector is used to connect an external power supply.
First steps Connecting power and I/O signals The power connector of DC power supply must be connected to the 6-pin Hirose plug (HR10A-7P-6S). Fig.: 4-1: Power connector pinning NOTICE If it is connected with another 12 - 24 V/2A power supply, take the pinning of the connector into account.
Fig.: 4-2: Optocoupler NOTICE The camera must be used with a supply voltage according to the camera spe- cification. Connecting a lower or higher supply voltage, AC voltage, reversal polar- ity or using wrong pins of the power connector may damage the camera. If doing so, the warranty will expire immediately.
1. Switch off the image processing system (1). 2. Connect the BASE connector of the camera (4) with the BASE connector of the frame grabber (2). 3. For FULL CL, connect the FULL connector of the camera (4) with the FULL con- nector of the frame grabber (2).
