Installation Installation Mounting The following section provides an overview about controller, dome, and camera mounting options. Mounting the Controller The controller comes with a 19 inch housing, which you can mount on a 19 inch rack. 1. Secure the housing to the rack. 2.
Installation Mounting the Camera In most cases, you can mount the camera with the camera mount and the camera adapter plate. You can secure the camera mount to the dome in four orientations. The camera mount is fastened to the dome with four screws. Two dowel pins ensure the exact adjustment of the dome and the camera mount.
Installation Camera Orientation Depending on the Direction of Movement of the Inspection Object Scan Scan Multiline The orientation of the camera with reference to the dome system carrier depends on the orientation of both dome and camera. The controller must be informed about the orientation of the camera with reference to the dome system carrier when it is set up in order to ensure the correct lighting direction.

The camera and framegrabber triggering is not shown here. Power Supply Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the controller is switched off. WARNING: Use only the power supply cable provided by Cognex. Other power supply cables are not compatible.
Page 36
Installation CAUTION: Before establishing the power supply connection, make sure that the supply network meets the following requirements: 100-240 V AC +/- 10% 50-60 Hz 550 VA For more info, see Operating Environment on page 14. In order to connect to the power supply, connect the cold device plug of the power supply cable to the IEC socket (24) of the controller.
Device Mode and Functional Groups Device Mode and Functional Groups The Trevista CI Dome controller arrives with one of the following factory-set device modes that cannot be changed: Area Scan Line Scan The device mode determines the range of functions available to the controller. For example, a Trevista CI Dome setup using a controller in Area Scan mode does not support a rotary encoder.
Page 38
Device Mode and Functional Groups The camera captures four images and for each image, the object is illuminated from a different direction. Trevista CI Dome uses these input images to calculate the following output images: Slope in X direction Slope in Y direction Texture image Curvature image Image acquisition and processing in Area Scan mode:...
Device Mode and Functional Groups Line Scan Trevista CI Dome Line Scan mode produces slope, curvature, and texture images, of a rotating or moving object. The schematic layout of the Line Scan device mode: A line-scan camera captures images where the width corresponds to the desired width of the measuring field. The object feed rate between two image acquisitions must be exactly one fourth of one line height.
Device Mode and Functional Groups Functional Groups You can extend the default range of functions of the device modes Area Scan and Line Scan by activating optional functional groups. You must specify the desired additional functionality before placing an order for the controller. Light/Camera I/O 1 + 2 The functional group Light/Camera I/O 1 + 2 lets you use and parameterize the Light 1 + 2 and Camera I/O 1 + 2 interfaces.

You can connect the lights to the Dome controller through the Light interfaces. Light 0 Make sure to only connect Cognex trevista® lights to the “Light 0” interface. The light transmits the light data to the Dome controller after you switch on the Dome controller.
Note: Connecting lighting with a capacitive or an inductive impedance can lead to the destruction of the Dome controller or the lighting. For trevista® lights not manufactured by Cognex, you must enter the light parameters manually. These are limited to the following parameters:...
Controller Interfaces Note: The Dome controller always uses the data of Cognex lights with light data can be read out digitally. The Dome controller ignores manual data even when the parameter Light data is set to Manual. Current and Voltage Monitoring Note: The Dome controller may perform a power limitation to prevent destruction from excessive power loss.

Controller Interfaces Note: The positive and the negative connections of an LED channel are available though several plug pins. When you connect a light, interconnect these pins within the connector to ensure the equal distribution of current between several pins. For example, Light 1: LED0+: Pin 6 + 7 + 8, LED0-: Pin 13 + 14 + 15. Connection Example The following image shows a connection example for the Light 1 connector:...
Operation Operation Block Diagram Power On/Off The controller is switched on and off with the power switch on the front panel. After having been switched on, the controller needs some time for self-testing, device identification, and calibration. In this initialization phase, the controller cannot be accessed via software. You can switch the controller off at any point during operation.
Operation Manual Operation of the Dome Display and retrieve the operation states and status information using the control elements display, LEDs, and buttons on the front panel.
