CHAPTER 1
When Your System Arrives
Thank you for purchasing an M-Series embedded machine vision system (M-Series Processor). Please read the instruc-
tions in this document before starting your system setup.
This manual explains the various parts of the M-Series system hardware, including the system inputs and outputs avail-
able to integrate your system into a production line. This manual covers the entire line of M-Series processors. Sections
that apply to a specific model number are indicated.
When your system arrives, check the shipping cartons for wrinkled or damaged corners, holes through the cardboard, or
other signs of rough handling or abuse. If you find any signs of damage, ask the delivery service to make a note on the
delivery receipt describing the damage.
Carefully remove the system unit, cameras, cabling, and accessories from the shipping package. Place all equipment you
unpack on a table and inspect each item. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Save all packing materials so you
can repack the shipment in case you need to move or ship it.
Temperature precautions: If your system arrives in very cold or hot weather, allow all the equipment to reach room tem-
perature before plugging it in. Exposing a cold device to a warm room causes condensation that could damage the system
if power is applied too soon. If condensation forms, wait for it to dry completely.
System Factory Setup
Before we shipped your M-Series vision system, we did the following:
• Ran the installation and setup program and specified a default software and hardware configuration. See page 1-3 for
more information about setting up the hardware. Refer to the Impact Reference Guide for software configuration infor-
mation.
• Set the default Internet Protocol (IP) address and a default IP Mask values for the cameras and the M-Series Processor.
Hardware Components
The major hardware components of the system are the M-Series Processor, camera, power supply, and cables.
NOTE: The M40 model number was changed to MX40 for consistency. All specifications and parameters are the same.
