Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality Timed Pulse Output The NI 1450 is capable of timed pulse output on six different digital outputs, which provides precise control over time-critical signals, such as camera exposure. This section describes the various uses for the timed pulse output and the parameters you can set to control these outputs.
Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality Figure 4-1 shows an output pulse when a trigger is selected. Trigger Input Output Pulse Figure 4-1. Output Pulse When Trigger Is Selected Pulse Modes Each pulse generator has a Start and a Stop mode. Configure the pulse generator when in Stop mode and then set it to Start mode. Pulse Delay Pulse delay is the amount of time between a trigger and the first (assertion) edge of an output pulse.
Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality Delay Width Trigger Pulse Figure 4-2. High Pulse with Rising Edge Trigger Figure 4-3 shows how to create a high and low pulse train with a microsecond delay and width. High Pulse Train Delay Width Delay Width Low Pulse Train Software Start Figure 4-3. High and Low Pulse Trains Quadrature Encoder The quadrature encoder uses ISO Input 6 for its Phase A input and ISO Input 7 for its Phase B input. Encoder speed is limited by the speed of the isolated inputs.
Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality Figure 4-4 shows a rising edge trigger and a low pulse with a quadrature encoder delay and a microsecond width. Trigger Low Pulse Delay Width Phase A Phase B Figure 4-4. Rising Edge Trigger, Low Pulse with a Quadrature Encoder Delay Product Selection Port The product selection port consists of a group of five isolated digital inputs that the software running on the NI 1450 reads simultaneously.

At any time, the software running on the NI 1450 can read these inputs.
Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality An example of using general-purpose outputs is driving a relay that turns on an Inspection in Progress light for an operator to see while the inspection sequence is running.
Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality Disabling Shutdown Mode To disable Shutdown mode once it is enabled, remove Shutdown mode from the software script and reset the NI 1450. To reset the system, press the RESET button on the NI 1450 front panel for at least two seconds. Note For prototyping when equipment is unavailable, you can wire from Viso to ISO Input 11 to simulate external equipment that indicates to the NI 1450 to operate normally.
Chapter 4 Digital I/O Functionality Overheat Operating the NI 1450 outside of its temperature specifications may cause the NI 1450 to overheat. Refer to Appendix B, Specifications, for temperature specifications. In the event of an overheat, all NI 1450 operation halts and the POWER OK LED turns red. If Shutdown mode is enabled, the outputs go to the user-defined shutdown states. Table 4-4.

5 Deployment This chapter provides guidelines for connecting the NI 1450 Series Compact Vision System to a network. Connecting Multiple NI 1450s An Ethernet connection between the development computer and the NI 1450 allows you to assign an IP address, configure the NI 1450, download inspection tasks, and remotely monitor an ongoing inspection. As with all Ethernet devices, you can connect multiple NI 1450s to the same network, as shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1.
Chapter 5 Deployment To connect multiple NI 1450s to the same network, each NI 1450 must have a unique IP address. By default, the configuration utility running on the development computer displays each NI 1450 that exists on the subnet. To add entries for NI 1450s that exist on other subnets, you must know the IP address assigned to each NI 1450. This feature allows remote configuration, programming, and monitoring of any NI 1450 not protected by a firewall or user password.
Chapter 5 Deployment Figure 5-3. NI 1450 Series Compact Vision System Connected to a Monitor At any time, you can reconnect the host machine to the NI 1450 and remotely monitor progress.
