Page 31: Heat Dissipation
Heat accumulation in the device Heat can damage the device. Provide adequate dissipation of heat. As there are numerous pos- sibilities for installation, Baumer recommends no specific method for proper heat dissipation, but suggest the following principle: a) Every form of convection around the device and mounting helps reduce temperature. Pre- vent heat from becoming trapped! b) Mounting in combination with forced convection may provide proper heat dissipation.
Page 32: Cooling Channel (Vcxg.2.Xc Only)
Installation Baumer 5.4.1 Cooling channel (VCXG.2.XC only) The camera features a housing-integrated cooling channel. This is to feed compressed air or tempering fluid for camera temperature control. For compressed air / tempering fluid connection (inlet (1) / outlet (2)) use male threaded M3 push-in fittings and plastic hoses, e.g.

Page 34: Lens Mount
Installation Baumer Lens mount Avoid contamination of the sensor and the lens by dust and airborne particles when mounting the lens to the device! Therefore the following points are very important: Install the camera in an environment that is as dust free as possible! Keep the lens mount covered if no lens is attached Hold the camera downwards with unprotected sensor.
Page 35: Modular Tube System (Please Order Separately)
Instruction: a) Mount the Modular Tube System as shown in the illustration below. b) Baumer recommends ELKALUB GLS 867 grease for easier installation of the sealing rings (5). c) Tighten the screws (3) with a torque wrench to 0.9 Nm.

Page 73: Preventive Maintenance
Baumer Preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance The sensor is maintenance-free. No special preventive maintenance is required. Regular clean- ing and regular checking of the plug connections are recommended. Cleaning Due to its compact design, the device is characterized by almost maintenance-free operation.
Page 74 Preventive maintenance Baumer Tube cover glass For cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the surface of the tube cover glass with a gentle pressure, without scratching. To clean stubborn dirt, commonly available window cleaning agent is recommended. Ensure that no residues of the cleaning agent or scratches remain on the glass. These can permanently damage the reproducibility of the results from the device.

Page 225: Gige Interface Functionality
When starting image transfer at a camera, data packets are transferred with maximum transfer speed. In compliance with the network standard, Baumer cameras operate on a 12-byte mini- mum distance between every packet. This gap is referred to as Inter Packet Gap (IPG). Further ®...
Page 226 GigE interface functionality Baumer Example 1: Multicamera operation - Minimum IPG A minimum IPG will have images transmitted at maximum speed. This means full network load, even at a frame rate of 1 fps. Such "bursts" may cause overload to individual network compo- nents which results into packet loss.
Page 227: Frame Transmission Delay
Baumer GigE interface functionality 13.3 Frame Transmission Delay Another approach to packet management in multicamera operation is the so-called Frame Transmission Delay. Saving the currently acquired image to the camera and starting transfer at the predefined delay enables transfer of all frames at once to the PC.
Page 228 GigE interface functionality Baumer Time savings in multi-camera operation As already mentioned, the Frame Transmission Delay feature is particularly intended for opera- tion of multiple cameras of different models. This would particularly speed up image transmis- sion of individual cameras: In the above example, time savings can amount to 45% (for transmission of all three images) compared to Inter Packet Gap.

Page 232: Force Ip (Static Ip)
GigE interface functionality Baumer 13.5.4 Force IP (Static IP) Faults in operation can lead to connection errors between PC and camera. In this case,Force IP (Static IP) may present a final solution. The Force IP feature will transmit IP address and subnet mask to the camera's MAC address. These settings are sent without ver- ification and immediately applied by the client.
Page 233 Baumer GigE interface functionality In our example, the packets from No. 3 to No. 5 are lost. This error is detected after the prede- fined time has elapsed and the retransmission request (A) is triggered. The camera then sends packets No. 3 to No. 5 (B) again to complete the image transfer.
