Cognex MVS-8100C Hardware Manual
Installing the MVS-8100C 1 This chapter describes how to install an MVS-8100C into your PC, and how you connect peripheral equipment such as triggers, strobes, external sync sources, and light modules. Host PC Requirements To install the MVS-8100C, the host PC should meet the following minimum requirements: • The motherboard’s chip set must be fully compliant with the PCI 2.1 specifications or later.
Installing the MVS-8100C 3. 1 Remove the cover of the host PC and select a PCI slot for the MVS-8100C. The MVS-8100C requires a PCI slot that supports 5 V signalling. The MVS-8100C’s PCI bus connector is slotted to allow placement only in a 5 V slot (which are the most commonly found PCI slot types). Motherboard PCI slots are keyed to allow acceptance of boards that use either 5 V or 3.3 V signalling, or both.
1 Installing the MVS-8100C 4. Verify that a jumper covers pins 2 and 3 on connector J3 in the upper-left corner of the MVS-8100C, as shown in Figure 2. J3 1 2 3 J2 External power connector To PC’s power supply Figure 2. Caution External power connector and jumper setting 5. Press the card into its slot until it is seated firmly, and replace the slot cover screw. 6. Locate the MVS-8100C’s external +12 V power connector at J2, as shown in Figure 2.
Installing the MVS-8100C 7. 1 If you are using a second color camera, or monochrome cameras 2 and 3, attach the camera port expansion panel (P/N 300-0245) to the PC’s back panel in an unused bus slot position. Connect the expansion panel’s 40-pin cable to the MVS-8100C. The 40-pin cable plugs into two connectors on the MVS-8100C, J12 and J5, and straddles the gap between them. Take care to match up the red edge of the 40-wire ribbon cable with pin 1 on the J12 connector. J12 J5 J3 Pin 1 Figure 3.
1 Installing the MVS-8100C 8. Connect cameras to the MVS-8100C using the appropriate Cognex camera cable as listed in Table 21 on page 50. Figure 4 shows the numbering of the camera connectors on the MVS-8100C’s back panel and on the camera port expansion panel. See Installing Cameras on page 14 for more on connecting cameras. C A M 0 C A M 2 C A M 1 C A M 3 Light ports 0 and 1 Back panel of MVS-8100C Figure 4.
Installing the MVS-8100C 1 Installing Cameras You can connect from one to four monochrome cameras (EIA or CCIR) or up to two RGB color cameras. Jumper settings on the MVS-8100C select color or monochrome mode. You cannot combine color and monochrome cameras at the same time. When you set the jumpers for color mode, camera ports 0 and 2 are disconnected and should not be used. Connect color cameras only to camera ports 1 or 3. Table 2 shows the MVS-8100C’s camera connection options.
1 Installing the MVS-8100C Connecting Pulnix TM-6CN Cameras The Pulnix TM-6CN camera supplies synchronization signals to the MVS-8100C. The MVS-8100C needs no special hardware settings when using camera-supplied sync signals from monochrome cameras. As long as the Cognex vision processing software is set up to use a Pulnix TM-6CN, the sync signals will be handled correctly.
Installing the MVS-8100C 1 4. Connect an NTSC monitor to the camera’s composite video connector labeled VIDEO OUT. 5. Provide power to the camera through the Hirose connector labeled DC IN/VBS . Live video now displays on the monitor. To provide +12 V power to the camera, you can connect the Hirose branch of the Cognex camera cable from an MVS-8100C in a powered-on PC, or you can provide power from a bench power supply. 6. Press the MENU button and observe the video monitor.
1 Installing the MVS-8100C Connecting Sony XC-003 Color Cameras Follow these steps to connect a Sony XC-003 to the MVS-8100C, using Cognex camera cable 300-0243. 1. Use the XC-003 in its default configuration. There is no need to set jumpers or switches, or to use the XC-003’s menu configuration system to prepare the camera for use with the MVS-8100C. 2. Power off the PC containing the MVS-8100C. Do not connect cameras or peripheral equipment to the MVS-8100C when powered on. 3.
Installing the MVS-8100C 1 The XC-55/55BB, as shipped from Sony, is configured to emulate the Sony XC-75 camera. Cognex recommends instead using the XC-55/55BB in its E-DONPISHA II trigger shutter mode for best performance. Two switch settings convert the XC-55/55BB to trigger shutter mode; one switch is external, while the other is internal. Follow this procedure: 1. On the rear panel of the XC-55/55BB, locate the 1N/1I switch. Place this switch in the 1N position. 2.

1 Installing the MVS-8100C Using Rapid Reset Mode No special hardware settings are required to use an electronically shuttered (rapid reset) monochrome camera, such as the Sony XC-55, on the MVS-8100C’s camera ports 0 or 2. However, for camera ports 1 and 3, the factory default configuration is to support color cameras. To use a rapid reset camera on camera ports 1 or 3, set jumpers on the MVS-8100C as shown in Table 3.
Installing the MVS-8100C 1 Using an External Sync Source The MVS-8100C supports the use of an external source for HDRIVE and VDRIVE signals. You can synchronize one to four cameras to the external drive signals. Note the following points when using an external sync source on the MVS-8100C: • Your cameras must be set in software to use genlock mode in order to synchronize with the external source. If you’re using a color camera in genlock mode, see Using Genlock Mode for more information.
1 Installing the MVS-8100C Installing External I/O Equipment You can connect the following peripheral equipment to the MVS-8100C: • One to four trigger pulse generators to trigger image acquisitions on monochrome cameras • One to four strobe lights to allow MVS-8100C-controlled illumination of the scene under one to four monochrome cameras • One status output line that can be used by your vision processing application, for example, to control a parts reject switch.
Installing the MVS-8100C 1 Connecting Light Modules Connect light modules such as the Cognex acuLight and Ultralight as described in Chapter 2, Installing Light Control Hardware on page 25.
Installing Light Control Hardware 2 This chapter describes how to connect the acuLight and UltraLight light modules to the MVS-8100C frame grabber. Dynamic Light Control Overview The term light module refers to any of the following Cognex products: acuLight, acuLight II, UltraLight, or UltraLight II. A light module provides dynamic software-controllable illumination to a camera’s field of view. A light module can be attached around the camera lens or mounted separately.
Installing Light Control Hardware 2 Bright Field and Dark Field Illumination Cognex light modules provide two sets of LED arrays, for both bright field and dark field illumination. The two sets of LED arrays are shown in Figure 12. Bright field LEDs Dark field LEDs Figure 12. Bright and dark field LEDs on light modules The light module’s bright field LEDs produce nearly on-axis diffuse illumination.
2 Installing Light Control Hardware When using one or more light control modules, Cognex strongly recommends setting jumper J3 with pins 2-3 covered, and using the external 12 V power cable, P/N 300-0175. This is because PCI slots are limited by the PCI standard to providing no more than 750 mA per slot. See installation step 4 on page 11 for instructions.
Installing Light Control Hardware 2 Connecting a Light Module This section describes how to connect light modules to your Cognex frame grabber Primary and Auxiliary Light Modules Light ports are numbered the same as their associated camera port, from 0 to 3. One Primary Per Camera Your Cognex frame grabber supports one primary light module per camera port, for one to four cameras. When using one light module per camera, connect the light module to the light port numbered the same as the camera port.
2 Installing Light Control Hardware Table 7 illustrates the case of using the adjacent unused light port to connect the auxiliary light module for two cameras. Camera port Lights per camera Light module purpose Connect to light port Camera 0 2 Primary for camera 0 0 Auxiliary for camera 0 1 Primary for camera 2 2 Auxiliary for camera 2 3 Not used Camera 2 2 Not used Table 7.
Installing Light Control Hardware 2 Note that case 4 is the same as case 2, but with two extra cameras attached and usable. Light Module Wiring To connect light modules, use the MVS-8100C light module cable P/N 300-0246. This cable splits the 8-pin DIN light port on the MVS-8100C (or on the camera port expansion panel) into two RJ-11 jacks, labeled Light 0/2 and Light 1/3. Cable 300-0246 ships with two RJ-11 modular couplers.
