This LED corresponds to Pin 14 (OPTO_OUT_BUSY) on the DB37 I/O connector. For full details of the use of this LED in a specific application, consult the Newton Labs Software Component User Guide for your application. The bi-color Pass/Fail LED indicates the pass (green) or fail (red) condition of an inspection. -

NPUTS AND UTPUTS NPUT The 9000 Series uses the Line Lock input to sync with the local power grid. This input is useful in applications where: ► The video input to the Series 9000 vision system needs to be synchronized with the lighting, such as fluorescent or other types of flickering lighting ►... -
Page 23: Digital Inputs Specifications
IGITAL NPUTS The Model 9000 series uses dual polarity opto-isolators on all digital inputs. All inputs can be used as either sinking or sourcing inputs. Note: as there is a single common for the entire set of inputs, all inputs must be configured as either sourcing or sinking. -
Page 24: 9000 Series Dual Specification
IGITAL UTPUTS The Model 9000 series uses opto-isolated sinking digital outputs. All outputs can sink up to 20 mA. There is a single common for the entire set of outputs. NOTE: Output pin 26,27 and 28 are designated in software for special purpose usage and should not be utilized as general purpose outputs except in special cases. -

Imager as depicted in the diagram above (one side of an object). In these cases, the associated Model 9000 Imager will be mounted in a position (fixed or robot controlled), which in relation to the installed illumination source, will provide optimum resolution, contrast and image quality for the given inspection. -
Page 26: Model 9200
9200 ODEL Figure 6. Model 9200 Typical Installation—3D The Model 9200 is typically used for applications requiring two Imagers capable of simultaneous inspection from each camera. An example application is 3D stereo tracking of moving object. The resulting X and Y coordinate data from each camera can be combined (via software) and translated to the equivalent of X, Y and Z dimensional movement. -
Page 27: Figure 7. Model 9200 Typical Installation --Two Sides
9200 ODEL Figure 7. Model 9200 Typical Installation—Two Sides Another example application for dual simultaneous inspection from two Imagers is when two sides of an object must be inspected at the same time as depicted in Figure 7. -
Page 28: Figure 8. Model 9200 Typical Installation-Using A Reference Line
9200 ODEL Figure 8. Model 9200 Typical Installation—Using a Reference line Another common application for dual simultaneous inspection from two Imagers is when one Imager is used a reference for the other Imager to base its inspections. In the diagram above the bottom Imager is using the line on the “box”... -

9400 ODEL Figure 9. Model 9400 Typical Installation—Time Sequence The Model 9400, 8400 and 7400 are typically used for applications requiring up to four Imagers. The Model 9400 is time sequence with approximately 17 mS between each Imager providing a very efficient way to perform inspection around an object as shown above in Figure 9. -
Page 30: Figure 10. Model 9400 Typical Installation -- 360 Inspection
9400 ODEL Figure 10. Model 9400 Typical Installation--360° Inspection The above diagram depicts the Model 9400 in use with three Imagers to create a 360-degree view around an object. In this example, each of the three Imagers accounts for a 120-degree view of the object. The three Imagers are time sequenced, but can still accommodate fast moving objects (bottling line speeds) as they pass by the Imagers. -
Page 31: Appendix B: Lighting
EWTON MART LLUMINATORS While the 9000 Series of Vision Systems can be used with virtually any type of lighting, Newton Labs provides a wide range of Smart Illuminators specifically designed to enhance the performance and robustness of industrial vision applications. These Smart Illuminators are available in many different sizes, colors, and styles. -

camera views the profile of the object. As this technique requires access to both sides of the object, it may not be suitable in all cases. ► Front lighting: commonly used for applications where features on the surface of the object are to be inspected. It is a simple concept where the lights illuminate the object from the front. - Page 33 The least expensive are the low-voltage and fluorescent lights. They provide bright and consistent illumination, but have a limited life span (weeks/months) and will reduce in intensity with age. Newton Research Labs recommends replacing these types of lights half way through their rated life.

Page 35: Appendix D: Troubleshooting
D: T PPENDIX ROUBLESHOOTING This section provides fundamental hardware troubleshooting for the 9000 Series. For problems that are not covered in this section, contact your local Newton Labs Authorized Distributor. IPS FOR ETTING A MAGE ► Assure that the lens is focused properly. Refer to the lens focusing instructions in the “Blurry Image”... - Page 36 The HyperTerminal program will display a white box. Press the space key (several times). An “OK” will appear each time you press enter as long as the PC is communicating with the 9000 Series through HyperTerminal. If successful communications with the 9000 Series have been established, skip to Step 4.

Imager Out terminal on the front panel of the 9000 Series unit. This will allow you see what the Imager is seeing in terms of bright spots, reflections, and other illumination related problems. - Page 38 Change the ground connections-repeat Step 2. Disconnect controllers and drives one at a time from the control panel-repeat Step 2. Physically move the 9000 Series (or imager cables) away from the machine-repeat Step 2. Continue with these suggestions until the source of the noise is discovered.
- Page 39 On most lenses, a small screw locks the focus ring in place. Position the 9000 Series Imager so that it is acquiring an image of an object. The distance from the 9000 Series to the object should be the same as the distance from 9000 Series to the actual inspection object.
-
Page 40: All Inspections Are Failing
If a working application suddenly returns failed inspections for all or most of the inspections, the 9000 Series Imager has probably been bumped, or something has obscured the field of view. A change in lighting conditions is another possible problem area. Observe the inspection results to help determine causes of failure. -
