405-00022-00 VA6x User’s Reference Camera Connections The standard camera that ships with the product has a resolution of 640x480 pixels, but this is expandable up to 1600x1200. Different size cameras are available to suit application space constraints. Teledyne DALSA offers cameras for use with our vision systems, some of which are referenced below. See also directory: D:\PDF Manuals for available camera manuals.
VA6x User’s Reference 405-00022-00 In the factory default setting, VA61 Camera Port 1 is set to IP Address 10.1.64.5, and VA61 Camera Port 2 is set to IP Address 10.1.128.7. Subnet Mask 255.255.192.0. The VA-Genie Camera Setup program assigns compatible addresses to the two cameras. Once addresses are assigned, the cameras cannot be swapped between the two camera ports. Genie cameras purchased through a different distribution channel are usually set to dynamic addressing by default.
405-00022-00 VA6x User’s Reference Camera Control & Power Cable The VA61 provides two standard DB15 or 15-pin D-Sub connectors for Camera I/O signals to control trigger and receive strobe. 12 Volt power is also available on this connector. • The camera can be triggered through the VA61 I/O. The external trigger(s) would be input at the 25-pin Industrial I/O connector, and output to the cameras through the DB15 connectors, as Camera IN2 (each camera), illustrated in Figure 1 on page 15.
VA6x User’s Reference 405-00022-00 Another possible configuration would be: • The camera is triggered directly from the part sensor, bypassing the VA61. • The camera’s strobe output is connected directly to the lighting equipment, bypassing the VA61. For this case, Teledyne DALSA offers an optional DCI-100 Teledyne DALSA Camera Interface module for connecting the camera signals to terminal block connectors. The same Control and Power cable is used to connect the Cameras to the DCI-100.

VA6x User’s Reference 405-00022-00 Figure 38. Sapera Camera Acquisition Wizard NOTE The Wizard attempts to acquire or attach to all cameras discovered on a network. If you have multiple Vision Appliances and multiple cameras connected on a common “neighborhood” (for example an ethernet PLC controlling the cameras) the wizard will fail to open if visible cameras are already in use by other appliances. No error message is given in this case.
405-00022-00 VA6x User’s Reference Distributed Network Configurations Difficulties can arise when multiple Vision Appliances or multiple Genie Cameras appear on a network. The fixed IP Addresses of Camera Ports 1 and 2 were designed to avoid this problem, by not making the cameras visible to the general network. • Configuration 1: All cameras are connected (directly) to the Camera Ports on the VA61, (with or without switches). The cameras are not visible to the other appliances.
VA6x User’s Reference 405-00022-00 iNspect/iLabel There are two problems specific to iNspect and iLabel: • Genie cameras connected through the network do not always follow the rules of ordering cameras by IP Address, as expected. • When mixing Monochrome and Color Genie cameras on the same appliance or the same network, the application usually starts in Monochrome mode, not Color.
405-00022-00 VA6x User’s Reference Sherlock • When you open the Sapera Acquisition Wizard to create a configuration file, it attempts to access or gain control of all Genie cameras visible on the network. If another PC or Appliance is running an application that uses some of the Genie cameras, Sapera Acquisition Wizard will fail to open. There are two ways to solve this problem. Using the Acquisition Wizard 1.
VA6x User’s Reference 405-00022-00 1. You can find the old camera name in the SaperaLTDrv.ini file. 2. You can change the new camera’s name using VAGenie Camera Setup, CamExpert, or the Sapera Network Vision Configuration Tool. 3. DO NOT use the Sapera Acquisition Wizard to create a new configuration file. A new System Name will be assigned and will cause Sherlock to view the new camera as a different camera.
