I/O definition

Camera power

The Prosilica GE camera family supports a wide input power voltage range. The

camera will not power in reverse polarity. Exceeding the voltage range specified

below will damage the camera.

Isolated IO GND

Isolated IO GND must be connected to the user’s external circuit ground if In 1,

Out 1, Out 2, Out 3, RxD RS-232, and TxD RS-232 is to be used. Note that Iso-

lated IO GND is common with power ground; however, it is good practice to pro-

vide a separate ground connection for power and signaling when designing the

cabling.

RxD RS-232 and TxD RS-232

These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals allow communication from

the host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the

camera. Note that these signals are not isolated; therefore, cabling should be

carefully designed for the noisy environments.

Input triggers

In 1

In 1 allows the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The camera can

be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges, or level

of this signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some

programmable delay time after the trigger event.

Caution



5–24 V. 12 V nominal.

Note

A 12 V power adapter with barrel connector is available for pur-

chase from AVT:
