The CM-140GE and CB-140GE cameras also accept industrial RJ-45 connectors with thumbscrews. This assures that the connector does not come undone in tough industrial environments. Please contact the nearest JAI distributor for details on recommended industrial RJ-45 connectors. Fig. 3. Gigabit Ethernet connector The digital output signals follow the Gigabit Ethernet interface using RJ-45 conforming connector.
CM-030 GE / CB-030 GE GPIO (Inputs and outputs) 6.1 Overview All input and output signals pass through the GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) module. The GPIO module consists of a Look-Up Table (LUT – Cross-Point Switch), 4 Pulse Generators and a 12-bit counter.
CM-030 GE / CB-030 GE 6.1.2 12-bit Counter A 25 MHz clock or the camera pixel clock (40 MHz) can be used as a source. The counter has a “Divide by N”, where N has the range 1 through 4096, allowing a wide range of clock frequencies to be programmed.
