6. Installation

Caution

Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices!

Connectionoftheexprintcable

Notice

Pay attention on the marks by connecting the exprint cable.

Handling Precautions when mating mounted connectors

1. Start the engagement of the

connector within the speci-

ed selfalignment range of

0.3 mm, while keeping the

boards parallel to each other.

3.0XAM3.0XAM

2. Do NOT start mating of the

mounted connectors at an

angle. Correctly position the

connectors over each other

an assure that both boards

are parallel to each other.

Incorrect Incorrect

3. When the connectors are

correctly aligned (and both

boards paralell to each other)

apply even force until mat-

ing is conrmed by the "click"

sensation.

(0.5mm)(0.5mm)

Caution

When the connectors are mounted on the FPC, care should taken to pre-

vent the mated connectors from bending or twisting on the FPC.

The device case or cushioning material should be used to keep the con-

nectors fully mated and supported.

Handling Precautions when un-mating

1. Keep the boards (with

mounted connectors) parallel

to each other.

2. If parallel disconnection is

impossible, start un-mating

at one end, exercising ex-

treme caution to apply force

at the center of the connector

itself, away from the solder

joint rows (Ref. Fig A and Fig.

B).

Incorrect

Fig. A Fig. B

3. Do NOT start disconnection

at the sides as the connector

can be damaged, voiding the

warranty and making the re-

engagement impossible.

Caution

X°

Incorrect bending radius of the exprint cable.

An incorrect bending radius can damage the exprint cable.

Bend the exprint cable only up to a radius of 3 mm!

Length from A to B = 94 mm

Lens mounting

Notice

Avoid contamination of the sensor and the lens by dust and airborne particles when

mounting the support or the lens to the device!

Therefore the following points are very important:

▪ Install the camera in an environment that is as dust free as possible!

▪ Keep the dust cover (bag) on camera as long as possible!

▪ Hold the print with the sensor downwards with unprotected sensor.

▪ Avoid contact with any optical surface of the camera!

8.3 Acquisition Modes and Timings

The image acquisition consists of two separate, successively processed components.

Exposing the pixels on the photosensitive surface of the sensor is only the rst part of the

image acquisition. After completion of the rst step, the pixels are read out.

Thereby the exposure time (t

exposure

) can be adjusted by the user, however, the time need-

ed for the readout (t

readout

) is given by the particular sensor and image format.

Baumer cameras can be operated with three modes, the Free Running Mode, the Fixed-

Frame-Rate Mode and the Trigger Mode.

The cameras can be operated non-overlapped

or overlapped. Depending on the mode

used, and the combination of exposure and readout time:

Non-overlapped Operation Overlapped Operation

Here the time intervals are long enough

to process exposure and readout succes-

sively.

In this operation the exposure of a frame

(n+1) takes place during the readout of

frame (n).

Exposur

8.3.1 Free Running Mode

In the "Free Running" mode the camera records images permanently and sends them to

the PC. In order to achieve an optimal result (with regard to the adjusted exposure time

exposure

and image format) the camera is operated overlapped.

In case of exposure times equal to / less than the readout time (t

exposure

≤ t

readout

), the maxi-

mum frame rate is provided for the image format used. For longer exposure times the

frame rate of the camera is reduced.

8.3.2 Fixed-Frame-Rate Mode

With this feature Baumer introduces a clever technique to the MXG camera series, that

enables the user to predene a desired frame rate in continous mode.

For the employment of this mode the cameras are equipped with an internal clock genera-

tor that creates trigger pulses.

Notice

From a certain frame rate, skipping internal triggers is unavoidable. In general, this de-

pends on the combination of adjusted frame rate, exposure and readout times.

8.3.3 Trigger Mode

After a specied external event (trigger) has occurred, image acquisition is started. De-

pending on the interval of triggers used, the camera operates non-overlapped or over-

lapped in this mode.

With regard to timings in the trigger mode, the following basic formulas need to be taken

into consideration:

(3) t

(4) t

notready(n+1)

= t

exposure(n)

8.3.3.1 Overlapped Operation: t

exposure(n+2)

= t

exposure(n+1)

In overlapped operation attention should be paid to the time interval where the camera is

unable to process occuring trigger signals (t

notready

). This interval is situated between two

exposures. When this process time t

notready

has elapsed, the camera is able to react to

external events again.

After t

notready

has elapsed, the timing of (E) depends on the readout time of the current im-

age (t

readout(n)

) and exposure time of the next image (t

exposure(n+1)

). It can be determined by the

formulas mentioned above (no. 1 or 3, as is the case).

In case of identical exposure times, t

notready

remains the same from acquisition to acquisi-

tion.
