Please note that Datalogic cannot guarantee the performance of MX-U Series systems which have additional software installed on them, including, but not limited to, anti-virus and firewall software. Datalogic recommends that MX-U Series systems remain disconnected from networks that access the Internet in order to minimize security risks. Datalogic will attempt to support systems with antivirus software installed, but we cannot guarantee system performance.

Maneuver the Processor so mounting bracket slots align with the mounting screws. Place the slots over the screws and slide the Processor down until the screws fit snugly into the mounting bracket slots. If necessary, tighten the mounting screws until snug. Datalogic Automation, Inc.
Connect V+ terminal to Power Supply Plus* *Note: The processor requires approximately 5.5 A @ 24VDC. We recommend using a 24 VDC power supply capable of providing 5.5 A current. This voltage is commonly used in many manufacturing environments. Datalogic Automation, Inc.
Use a cable with a minimum cross section of 2.5 mm² per connection. If a cable with wire tip sleeves is connected to the supplied power plug, then a cable with maximum 1.5 mm² per connection is possible. • Use shielded cable for all data connections. Datalogic Automation, Inc.

MX-U Series Cameras Introduction This section describes digital cameras provided by Datalogic Automation, Inc. Our USB cameras can be used only with our MX-U Series Processors. GigE cameras will not operate on a MX-U Series Processor. Datalogic Automation, Inc. does not support the use of these cameras in any manner other than described herein.

Do not leave the camera imager uncovered. When you remove the lens cap, you must replace it with a lens. NOTE: The MX-U20 processor can accommodate a maximum of two cameras. The maximum image size of each camera is two Megapixels. (The calculation is: maximum width in pixels * maximum height in pixels < 2,500,000.) Datalogic Automation, Inc.
This section provides instructions for mounting the U1xx camera and dimensions for the camera mounting block. To mount a U1xx camera 1. With the mounting block held tightly against the camera body, insert two mounting bolts through the block Datalogic Automation, Inc.
Page 30
2. Turn the mounting bolts clockwise to tighten them and secure the block to the camera. 3. Use appropriately sized fasteners in the pre-threaded holes in the bottom of the mounting block to secure it to a rigid surface for proper stability and heat transfer. (See “U1xx Camera Dimensions” on page 3-3.) Datalogic Automation, Inc.
NOTE 2: If Strobe Trigger Output requires a sinking signal, set the Strobe Trigger Output to Falling Edge. If it requires a sourcing signal, set the Strobe Trigger Output to Rising Edge. NOTE 3: Disconnecting the camera will turn on some strobe lights. Datalogic Automation, Inc.

Interrupt-driven inputs are edge-triggered and the duration of the input pulse must be longer than the debounce time. The active trigger edge (rising, falling, or both), input pulse duration, and debounce, are all configured in the Vision Program Manager Settings tab. Datalogic Automation, Inc.
Note: All connections to inputs must be made using properly grounded shielded cable. All inputs are compatible with current sinking output signals. There is only one “Input Plus Common” connection for all the inputs. General Purpose Input Circuit Datalogic Automation, Inc.
All output connections must use properly grounded and shielded cable. Note: The Trigger Signal and Strobe Output for MX-U Series cameras are separate and not part of the MX-U Series Pro- cessor inputs and outputs. See MX-U Series Cameras on page 3-1 for details. Datalogic Automation, Inc.
NOTES: To prevent output damage, all inductive loads must have noise suppressors connected directly across the load, as close to the load as possible. Output Plus is not an output volt- age source. An external power source must be connected, as indicated. Datalogic Automation, Inc.
