Installing Video Bus Coupling

Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 113

9.5 Installing Video Bus Coupling

The Video Bus coupling (VTV) (see Figure 9-5) transfers data between the VIS module and

the VGB module. These two modules must be installed next to each other in the controller

chassis. (Earlier versions of the coupling were constructed with a cable, instead of a

molded unit. Both versions perform the same function.)

1. Make sure the controller On/Off switch is turned off.

2. Verify that the VIS and VGB modules are installed side-by-side in the controller.

3. Plug the coupling into the Video Bus connectors on the VIS and VGB modules.

9.6 Camera Breakout Cables

Adept offers two versions of camera breakout cables, a two-camera version and a

four-camera version. They both connect to the Camera connector on the front of the

module. With the four-camera model there is support for two strobe connections. The

breakout cables are intended to route the signals away from the chassis — they do not

connect directly to the camera. To connect to the cameras, you must use an additional

cable. Adept offers a 10-meter Adept MV camera cable for this purpose.

See Tables 9-3 to 9-8 for pin and signal information.

Two-Camera Breakout Cable

This cable has a 44-pin D-sub connector on one end and it breaks out to two 12-pin Hirose-

style camera connectors on the other end. The length of the cable is 1.8 meters (70”).

The VIS module supplies 12 VDC power for cameras through this cable. The current

rating is 500 mA maximum per camera, with a combined maximum of 1 A.
