Electrical Requirements#

WARNING – Electric Shock and Fire Hazard / Risque de choc électrique et d'incendie

Unapproved power supplies may cause electric shock or fire or both. Serious injury or death may occur.

  • You must use power supplies that meet the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and Limited Power Source (LPS) or the Electrical Source 1 (ES1) and Power Source 2 (PS2) requirements.

Les blocs d'alimentation non approuvés peuvent causer des décharges électriques ou des départs de feu, ou les deux. Celles-ci représentent un risque de mort ou de blessure grave.

  • Vous devez utiliser un bloc d'alimentation conforme aux exigences Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) et Limited Power Source (LPS) ou Electrical Source 1 (ES1) et Power Source 2 (PS2).
NOTICE – Incorrect voltage can damage the camera.

You must supply camera and I/O power within the safe operating voltage ranges specified below.

Do not use negative voltage for an I/O line.

Camera Power#

You can supply camera power via Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP) or via the camera's I/O connector using an external power supply (AUX power). If you supply power via both the CoaXPress interface and the I/O connector, power supply via the I/O connector (AUX power) takes precedence.

Info

If the power supply via the I/O connector is interrupted, power is provided via PoCXP. Once AUX power is restored, power is provided again via the I/O connector. This switchover can take several seconds. The time depends on the respective transition (AUX power to PoCXP or PoCXP to AUX power) and on the interface card or frame grabber used.

Be aware that the camera's internal power supply is interrupted during the switchover which will cause the camera to restart.

  • Power supply via Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP): 24 VDC
  • Power supply via I/O connector: The operating voltage is 24 VDC. As a minimum, 18.6 VDC must be supplied. To avoid damaging the camera, a maximum of 26 VDC must not be exceeded.

I/O Lines#

→ See I/O Control of racer 2 L Cameras.

Circuit Diagrams#

→ See I/O Control of racer 2 L Cameras.

Cable Requirements#

CoaXPress Data Cable#

Use high-quality CoaXPress data cables with a Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) plug at both the camera and the host side.

The data cables must comply with the CoaXPress Standard version 2.0. The following table shows CoaXPress data cable specifications.

CoaXPress Data Cable Specifications
Impedance 75 Ω ± 4 Ω
Maximum Return Loss -15 dB
Maximum Attenuation -17.9 dB
Frequency Range 1–6.25 GHz
Connector Micro-BNC (HD-BNC), 75 Ω type
Total DC Roundtrip Resistance <4.98 Ω
Cable Current Capacity 1 A (normal operation)
  • A maximum cable length of 30 m must not be exceeded.
  • If you want to use cables by other manufacturers, make sure to use CoaXPress-certified cables. These are always marked with the maximum speed they support.
  • Basler recommends using CoaXPress data cables from the Basler cable portfolio. There are CoaXPress data cables of various lengths available.

I/O Cable#

Physical Interface#

Camera Connectors and Status LEDs#

Camera Connectors

I/O Connector#

  • 12-pin Hirose micro receptacle (part number HR10A-10R-12P)
  • Recommended mating connector: 12-pin Hirose micro plug (part number HR10A-10P-12S) or equivalent

Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) Connectors#

Two Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) connectors according to the CoaXPress Standard version 2.0:

  • A master connector for transmitting image data, control signals, and configuration commands and for supplying camera power (Power over CoaXPress; PoCXP)
  • An extension connector for transmitting image data

Status LEDs#

The status LEDs indicate the status of their associated CoaXPress connection according to the CoaXPress Standard version 2.0.

LED States#

Alternating green/orange flashing at a frequency of 0.5 Hz Connection test packets being sent
Solid green Device/Host connected, but no data being transferred
Orange flashing at a frequency of 1 Hz Device/Host connected, waiting for event (e.g., trigger)
Green flashing at a frequency of 12.5 Hz Device/Host connected, data being transferred
Alternating green/orange flashing at a frequency of 12.5 Hz (shown for a minimum of 1 s even if the connection detection is faster) Connection detection in progress, PoCXP active
Orange flashing at a frequency of 12.5 Hz (shown for a minimum of 1 s even if the connection detection is faster) Connection detection in progress, PoCXP not in use
