Cognex MVS-8100C Hardware Manual 15
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. The only
hardware setting required to use the TM-6CN is to set the MVS-8100C for use with
monochrome cameras, as shown in Table 2 on page 14.
Configuring Sony DXC-390 Color Cameras
The MVS-8100C supports the use of the Sony DXC-390 color camera. If you purchase
your DXC-390 camera from Cognex, it arrives ready to use with Cognex software.
Note Sony DXC-390 cameras purchased from Cognex may be labeled
DXC-390/C on the camera body or on the shipping box or both. The
/C designation applies to cameras that have been set up as
described in the following steps.
If you purchase your DXC-390 from a third party, you must configure the camera as
shown in the following steps.
The following procedure expands the effective horizontal imaging area of the DXC-390
by 200 ns per line, and reduces the video noise level.
1. Remove and carefully set aside the seven small screws that fasten the top cover of
the DXC-390. Remove the top cover.
2. Locate switch S102 as shown in Figure 6.
