Introduction Intended use The camera EoSens® 21CXP2 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.
Power supply If you do not use power over CXP, you need an external power supply unit, e.g.: NTCAM132X (12 V/2.5 A) with 12 pin Hirose connector (HR10A-10P-12S(73) and 5 m cable NTCAM132XIO (12 V/2.5 A) with 12 pin Hirose connector (HR10A-10P-12S (73) and 5 m cable plus additional strobe out line System requirements The PC or image processing system that is connected with the camera must be...
The camera Camera description All cameras of the EoSens CXP family are CoaXPress compliant. The high-speed CMOS cameras come with a 21 Megapixel sensor of 5,120 x 4,096 px (H x V). They are widely configurable and scalable to fit your needs and are available in mono- chrome and color (Bayer Filter).
Operating temperature If the camera is mounted on mechanical parts, the heat generated during operation will be dissipated by the attached fan, the cooling fins at the rear of the camera, and the mechanical parts. NOTICE The camera body temperature must not exceed the values specified in the technical data (see "Technical data"...
Interfaces of the camera Fig.: 3-1: Interfaces of the camera EoSens® 21CXP2 1 Status LED to verify the operating status of the camera 2 Four CoaXPress µBNC connectors to connect the camera with a CoaXPress compliant frame grabber. The ∆- marked line can supply the camera with power via power over coax (PoC).
Status LED The multi-color status LED indicates camera and connection states. LED State Indication No power Solid orange System is booting Slow pulse red Powered, but nothing connected (not applicable if PoC is used) Fast flash alternate Connection detection in progress, PoC active green/orange Fast flash orange Connection detection in progress, PoC not in use...
First steps Connecting a frame grabber The transmission speed of the camera can either be set to 3.125, 5, 6.25, 10, or 12.5 Gb/s. The possible cable length depends on the cable type used, its quality, and the selected transmission speed. The following table provides examples. These values will only be reached if the signal quality meets the requirements of the CXP2.0 specification.
The possible connector combinations are shown in the table below. No. of con- Connector combination nections 2 1+2 (link) 4 1+2+3+4 (link) INFO All connections are hot-pluggable. Connecting an external power supply or I/O signals If you prefer an external 12 - 24V DC power supply (min. 18 W), connect it with the 12-pin connector at the rear of the camera.

Connecting camera and image processing system NOTICE To make use of the full performance, all cables, connectors and the frame grabber must be CoaXPress V2.0 compliant. INFO If a CXP V1.1 frame grabber is used, only speeds up to CXP-6 (6.25 Gb/s) can be achieved.
INFO The camera has NOT to be configured by the host to start operation. The power-up profile will deliver all necessary values. Serial number and firmware version are provided in the non-volatile memory of the camera. Use the GenICam feature “DeviceSerialNumber” to read the serial number and the firmware revision.
