Basler ace Camera Link 31
5.4.3 PLC Power and I/O Cable
As with the standard power and I/O cable described in the previous section, the PLC power and
I/O cable is a single cable that can be used both to supply power to the camera (when Power over
Camera Link is not used) and to connect to the camera’s GPIO line. The PLC power and I/O cable
adjusts the voltage levels of PLC devices to the voltage levels required by the camera’s GPIO line
and it protects the camera against negative voltage and reverse polarity.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
Basler offers a PLC power and I/O cable that is terminated with a 4-pin Binder plug on the end that
connects to the camera. The other end is unterminated. Contact your Basler sales representative
to order the cable.
We recommend using a PLC power and I/O cable when the camera is connected
to a PLC device.
If the GPIO is set to function as an input and power is supplied to the input at
24 VDC, you can use a PLC power and I/O cable even if the camera is not
connected to a PLC device.
If the GPIO is set to function as an output, you can use a standard power and I/O
cable.
