Input Specifications 
The BOA vision system provides two dedicated opto-isolated, polarity independent 
inputs. One of the inputs provides the acquisition Trigger function, while the other is 
general purpose.  
Specification  Definition 
Voltage  ON  12-30 V 
OFF  0-3 V (12 V nominal threshold) 
Current  ON  7.5 mA typ (24 V applied) 
Protection  Resistance  3K Ohms 
Isolation  4000 V RMS 
Common pin  Input  PWR or GND 
Switch Time  ON  10 Microsecond 
OFF  50 Microseconds 
Latency  Trigger  62 Microseconds from trigger input to start of acquisition 
The active polarity of each input is configured in the Sherlock Embedded Client 
application. The camera includes a noise filter on the input which is also configurable. 
To connect with an NPN source, connect the camera trigger input (pin 1) to the NPN 
source output and the camera common input (pin 5) to PWR. When the source output 
turns ON, the camera input will be pulled down turning the opto-coupler ON. 
To connect with an PNP source, connect the camera trigger input (pin 1) to the PNP 
source output and the camera common input (pin 5) to GND. When the source output 
turns ON, the camera input will be pulled up turning the opto-coupler ON.
