Setting Up the System M-Series Processor and Camera Guide
Datalogic Automation, Inc. 1-4
NOTE: When a new processor is powered on the first time, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse must be connected to the pro-
cessor to approve the license agreement.
1. Familiarize yourself with the major system components that are shown in Chapter 3 of this manual.
2. Unpack and check all the equipment.
3. Mount the M-Series Processor and power supply in their desired positions. Mounting instructions are included in
Chapter 3 of this manual. Make sure all vents have at least 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) of clearance for sufficient ventila-
tion.
4. Connect the I/O cable, optional monitor, and optional keyboard to the M-Series Processor. Connect the I/O cable
to the terminal block. When a new processor is powered on the first time, a monitor; keyboard; and mouse must be
connected to the processor to approve the license agreement.
5. Mount the M-Series cameras, lighting, and optional power supplies. See “Mounting the Camera” on page 3-7.
Connect the cameras to the Processor using the appropriate Ethernet cables. See “Connecting the Camera” on
page 3-8.
NOTE: Do not leave the camera imager uncovered. When you remove the lens cap, you must replace it with a lens.
6. You are ready to wire the hardware. See “Processor I/O Reference” on page 4-1 for details about input/output
schematics for your M-Series system. Wiring specifications for all cables are described in “Cable Reference” on
page 5-1.
7. Wire the M-Series cameras’ strobe, trigger, and power connections to the cameras’ terminal blocks. See “Connect-
ing the Camera” on page 3-8.
8. Wire the M-Series Processor power connector to the optional power supply. Wire AC power to the power supply.
9. Connect the cables from the M-Series terminal blocks to their cameras.
10.Plug the power supplies into an appropriate grounded power source. To protect your system, we recommend using
a surge protector.
11.Turn on the M-Series Processor power switch and the camera power supply.
NOTE: A default network IP mask and address were assigned to the M-Series Processor and Cameras at the factory. You
will probably not need to change them unless there is a conflict with other devices on your network.
12.Start the Impact Software program Vision Program Manager and click on the Settings tab. Check your camera and
lighting setup, calibrate the camera, configure your inspection parameters, then put the camera online. For more
information about using Impact software, refer to the Impact Reference Guide.
If your system does not work when you are finished with the setup, review the instructions and diagrams to make sure you
made all connections properly.
Please note that Datalogic cannot guarantee the performance of M-Series systems which have additional software
installed on them, including, but not limited to, anti-virus and firewall software. Datalogic recommends that M-Series sys-
tems remain disconnected from networks that access the Internet in order to minimize security risks. Datalogic will
attempt to support systems with antivirus software installed, but we cannot guarantee system performance.
