NOTE
To avoid electromagnetic interference when the camera is connected to a
CBX connection box, verify the jumper positions in the CBX as indicated in
its Installation Manual.
POWER SUPPLY
NOTE
The A30 does not support sourcing power towards the CBX through the
CBX "power from device" source jumper setting. Power must be supplied to
the CBX as shown below.
To power the camera and/or I/O devices through the CBX, power must be supplied to the
CBX500 spring clamp terminal pins as shown in Figure 1:
Figure 8 - Power Supply Connections
The power must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.
It is recommended to connect the device CHASSIS to earth ground (Earth) by setting the
appropriate jumper in the CBX connection box. See the CBX Installation Manual for details.
RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE
The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the CBX spring clamp
terminal blocks.
The serial interface parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) are defined in Vision Program
Manager (VPM) software. Refer to the Serial Port section of the Impact Reference Guide
(Publication # 843-0093).
The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection. The Impact software does not
support hardware (CTS/RTS) or software (Xon/Xoff) data flow control.
