The BOA vision system offers flexible cabling options to suit a number of application
configurations:
Cable Configurations
Panel Link Module (A-BVS-PL-100)
1. For single cable applications, the Ethernet cable can be used to supply power
(referred to as “Passive Power over Ethernet”) and communications between the
camera and the control environment. Power is supplied by connecting a DC voltage
source between 12-30V to conductors 4 (pwr) and 8 (gnd) on the Ethernet RJ45
connector. Note: The PL-100 module does this automatically. In this configuration,
the camera I/O is unavailable.
2. For single cable applications that do not require a runtime Ethernet connection, the
I/O-PWR cable provides limited communications and power between the camera
and the control environment. Note: Ethernet is still required for setup.
3. For typical applications, both the Ethernet and I/O-PWR cables are connected to
provide flexibility between the camera and the control environment. In this
configuration, either or both cables can supply power provided they come from the
same power source. Do not connect different power sources to the BOA camera
connectors.
4. In all configurations, the Lamp cable can be connected between the camera and a
compatible LED light source. The BOA vision system supplies power and strobe
control to the external light. Power is routed from camera power input to the lamp.
The PL-100 module is an optional module that provides a safe and convenient way to
interface BOA. It provides an isolation layer between the factory and the camera
(differential isolation), as well as supplying power via the Ethernet cable for single cable
applications. The PL-100 also provides a manual trigger button and status lights for
application debug.
A-BVS-PL-100
NOTE: The BOA vision system does not support the IEEE 802.3af standard Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and should not be directly connected to a PoE supported router.
BEWARE: Connecting a voltage on pin 1 of the lamp connector that is lower than the
input power voltage to BOA could result in damage to the camera!
