1 User instructions
1.1 Introduction
These operating instructions describe the SMARTCAMERA product from the Balluff Vision Solutions BVS SC product
family as well as the data interfaces and the startup for an immediate operation.
The web-based software interface integrated in the SMARTCAMERA is described in the separate software manual (BVS
Cockpit manual).
Both manuals are available on the Balluff product website via www.balluff.com or via the help system of the BVS Cockpit
interface.
The SMARTCAMERA was developed to identify objects in automated industrial environments via optical codings (bar-
code, 2D codes or plain text) and to recognize and verify characteristics of objects such as presence, contours, dimen-
sions, colors and positions. The test results can be processed in a flexible way and forwarded to the higher-level control-
ler. Some outstanding properties are:
•Complete camera control and evaluation integrated in the device
•Simple camera access from the network
•Simple and user-friendly settings, control of camera without additional software
•Simple, user-supporting operation
•Support of Industry 4.0 through
•Integrated, flexible displays of process statistics
These characteristics make it possible to easily create test and identification tasks in automation, to flexibly check the
status of the test process, to monitor long-term processes in a clearly arranged way.
Hence, the SMARTCAMERA perfectly supports logistics processes and quality assurance in different industries.
These operating instructions apply to the following variants of the SMARTCAMERA:

3 Product description
The Balluff SMARTCAMERA BVS SC is a camera for the acquisition and analysis of black- and white and color images.
Application areas are optical identifications of codes and plain text, inspections for quality assurance and the measure-
ment of objects. The camera can also be used in robot environments.
With the Gigabit LAN interface, the host industrial system can affect the processes in the camera and receive customer-
specific processed result data.
The product is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments (IP67 with lens protection, standard M12 industry plug
connections, standardized industry network connections).
Since the complete software is located on the SMARTCAMERA itself, no external software is required for the configura-
tion and monitor display. Using standardized web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer,
the user can easily connect with the SMARTCAMERA and work in the Balluff BVS Cockpit interface developed specifi-
cally for camera systems.

NOTE
These inputs / outputs are galvanically decoupled from the supply voltage of the

Every output may be loaded with a maximum current of 100 mA. The maximum current for
Common In and Common Out is 630 mA each.

3.4.2 Power
The power plug connector supplies the SMARTCAMERA with the supply voltage and offers two I/O-24 V switching sig-
nals (I/O 0 & I/O 1) for the connection with sensors, actuators or PLC.
These two inputs and outputs feature a push-pull output stage. This allows using the output signal for PNP logic as well
as NPN logic. The input stage always features PNP logic.

Below are examples how inputs and outputs must be connected to obtain input and output function.

These inputs / outputs are galvanically decoupled from the supply voltage of the
SMARTCAMERA. For this reason, Common In and Common out must always be con-
nected, even if only one input or output function is required.
Every output may be loaded with a maximum current of 100 mA. The maximum current for
Common In and Common Out is 630 mA each.
For a description of the interconnections, see the section “I/O”.
Input connection
If I/O 0 is configured as input, it is sinking and can be connected directly with the PNP output of a sensor, a PLC. A 1
signal is being detected if the input is connected with the supply voltage. A 0 signal is being detected if the input is set to
ground or is not connected.
If an NPN device is to be connected to the input, then an external level converter must be connected upstream.

BVS Cockpit
Output connection
If I/O 0 is configured as output, the supply voltage is applied at the output and the actuator, PLC input is supplied with it if
1 is being output. The output is connected with GND if 0 is being output. The output current of an I/O may not exceed
100 mA.
If the output is being overloaded, e.g. by a short circuit, it is switched off and periodically checked whether the fault oc-
currence is still present. If the error was removed, the output is again in normal operating state without a reset.
PNP output connection
PNP logic is predominantly used in Europe. The output is sourcing, so that the load between I/O and GND must be
switched accordingly. The load is connected with supply voltage if 1 is being output.
NPN-Ausgangsbeschaltung
NPN logic is predominantly used in Asia. The output is sinking, so that the load between I/O and supply voltage must be
switched accordingly. The load is set to GND if 0 is being output.
To obtain a normal switching behavior, the output can be inverted.
3.4.3 LAN
The LAN interface meets the Ethernet standard in accordance with IEEE 802.3-2008 (up to 1 Gigabit). This network con-
nection is used to call up the web interface BVS Cockpit for the configuration. In addition, a communication channel is
available to control the image analysis and to call up the generated result values.

The I/O light interface provides 24 volt and two I/O signals (I/O 6 & I/O 7). These I/Os, similar to the two I/Os at the power
plug connectors (see “Power” on page 16), are equipped with a push-pull output stage and a PNP input.

Among other things, this makes it possible to easily connect lighting equipment to the SMARTCAMERA. Either the per-
manent voltage supply or the I/O signals can be used for this purpose.
The following example shows how the ring lighting BAE LX-VS-RR100 can be connected with trigger and boost.
The ring lighting is equipped with a M12 plug, so that it can be connected directly with the SMARTCAMERA. A complex
wiring is not necessary.
Naturally, other sensors/actuators can also be connected, the corresponding switching examples are located in the de-
scription of the power plug connector (see “Power”).
