Introduction Intended use The camera EoSens® 3CXP 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.
Cables The four bundle cable KKRDDINDINxx/6Gx4 with DIN 1.0/2.3 connector at both ends (4x) is available in lengths of 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, or 20 m. It is used to connect the frame grabber and camera when both are equipped with DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors.
The camera Camera description All cameras of the EoSens CXP family are CoaXPress compliant. The high-speed CMOS cameras come with a 3.0 Megapixel sensor of 1696 x 1710 (H x V). They are widely configurable and scalable to fit your needs and are available in monochrome and color (Bayer filter).
Operating temperature Despite of its high performance, the fanless 3CXP 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.

First steps Connecting a frame grabber The CoaXPress standard describes seven connections for data transmission between camera and frame grabber. The transmission speed of the camera can either be set to 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, or Gb/s. 5 The possible cable length depends on the cable type used, its quality, and the selected transmission speed.
INFO All connections are hot-pluggable. The assignment of the DIN cables KKRDDINDINxx/6Gx4 and KKRDDINBNCxx/6Gx4 connector pins is as follows: DIN connector Frame grabber Cable color 1 (triangle) TX channel 0 2 TX channel 1 Green 3 TX channel 2 Blue 4 TX channel 3 Yellow Connecting an external power supply or I/O signals...

8. If an external power supply (7) is used, connect the power supply with the main supply. 9. Switch on the image processing system (1). 10. Check the status LED of the camera to verify that the camera is ready for use. The power-up profile If the camera is powered-up, the power-up profile permanently stored in the non- volatile memory of the camera will be loaded.
