4.3 Camera Cables
A two-camera breakout cable is standard with Adept vision systems. Adept sells an
optional four-camera cable that is used for connecting cameras to the sAVI board. The
camera cables connect to the Camera connector on the front of the SmartController CX.
This connector contains support for two strobe connections through a breakout cable. See
Tables
4-1 to 4-6 for pin and signal information for the cables.
For single camera, non-reset, non-strobe applications, the two-camera breakout cable is
sufficient. Dual megapixel camera applications require a four-camera cable because of
current limitations (see
page 71 ).
Although the breakout cables route the signals away from the chassis, they do not connect
directly to the camera. To connect to the cameras, you must use an extension cable. Adept
offers a 10 meter cable for this purpose. These cables can also be purchased from
Intercon 1. Contact Adept Applications Support for current Intercon 1 part numbers.
