General Information
PPT's digital cameras digitize images at the camera source and transmit
them directly to the vision system as a digital signal. All PPT cameras
provide 8-bit resolution using internal 10-bit A/D converters and some have
progressive scan shutter exposure (allowing individual pixel readings).
Cameras have a hard-coat finish case that helps eliminate ground loops. All
camera settings (shutter, strobe, partial scan, etc.) are configured using
Impact software and are maintained in the camera’s memory so there are
no physical switches on the cameras.
PPT Vision cameras connect to the vision device with a standard DSL cable
(Part # 431-0452-xx).
All cameras can be used with PPT’s C-Series machine vision micro-
systems.
Before you install the camera
Carefully remove the camera and cabling from the shipping package and
inspect each item. Save all packing materials so you can repack the camera
in case you need to move or ship it.
Extreme temperature precautions: If your camera arrives in very hot or
cold weather, allow it to reach room temperature before using it. Wait for
any condensation to dry completely before connecting it to the vision
device.
Check the intended installation area to be sure there is enough room for the
camera and any lighting that may be needed. Avoid areas with excessive
heat, vibration, and environmental contaminants. Mount cameras away from
devices that emit large amounts of electromagnetic energy. Be sure that
cables are safely routed away from vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Do not
crimp or tie the cable tightly with wire ties as this may damage it internally.
The cable is not intended for continuous flexing or movement. The cable’s
minimum bend radius is fifteen times the cable diameter.
