3.3 Interfaces
The following chapters describes the interfaces on the Sentis3D-M520-Baseboard.
3.3.1 Power connector
The Sentis3D-M520 must be powered by an external 18V-30V power supply connected to the 2.5mm EH-
connector (see chapter 6.1).

3.3.2 GBit-Ethernet
The Gbit-Ethernet interface from CM-i.MX6Q is available on a standard RJ45 connector (see chapter 6.2).
3.3.3 Extension connector
The extension connector provides multiple interfaces to control external units and to trigger the Sentis3D-
M520 (see chapter 6.3).
3.3.4 JTAG connector
A JTAG connector is available for debug purposes (see chapter 6.4).
3.3.5 Reset button
A reset button is available to perform a hardware reset (component (e) in Figure 6-1).
3.3.6 RGB LED
A RGB LED is available on the Extension-Board and can be used to show the state of the Sentis3D-M520
(component (f) in Figure 6-1).
The RGB LED is controlled by a Toshiba LED driver (TCA62724FMG(O,EL)) connected though the I2C2
interface with the CM-i.MX6x. The I2C slave address is set to 0x55.
3.3.7 Buzzer
A buzzer is available on the Extension-Board and can be used to provide an audible feedback to the user
(component (g) in Figure 6-1).
The buzzer is connected to the pin DISP0.DAT9 of the CM-i.MX6x.

4Hardware installation
4.1 Mounting
The Sentis3D-M520-Baseboard provides 4 x M3 mounting holes to fix it on the enclosure. The positions of
the mounting holes is shown in figure 7.1 (3.2mm holes).
Note:
The mounting holes must be electrically connected to the enclosure using metallic screws!
The LIM modules mounted on the Sentis3D-M520-Baseboard must be fixed to a heatsink or to the
enclosure. For more information about the LIM modules see the Hardware User Manual of the LIM-U-LED-
850 available from Bluetechnix website. The mounting holes are also visible on the 3D STEP model of the
Sentis3D-M520 camera.
Note:
Gap pads must be used to isolate the LIM module cooling area from the heatsink or
enclosure!
The TIM module can also be fixed on the enclosure using the top two M2 holes available on the module. For
further information about the TIM module see the Hardware User Manual of the TIM-uP-19k-S3-Spartan6
available from Bluetechnix website. The mounting holes are also visible on the 3D STEP model of the
Sentis3D-M520 camera.
4.2 Cooling areas
The Sentis3D-M520 must be cooled at several areas to ensure valid operation conditions. The most
important cooling areas are:
-LIM modules: each LIM module produces up to 25W of dissipation power that must be cooled
mounting a heatsink/enclosure and a gap pad on the bottom of the module (red areas in Figure 4-1).
-CM-i.MX6Q: the processor module produces up to 5W of dissipation power. The main heat sources
are the i.MX6Q processor (left dark region in orange area in Figure 4-1) and the PMIC (right dark
region in orange area in Figure 4-1).

4.3 Lenses and objective
The Sentis3D-M520 is equipped with a 90° objective for the TIM module, 90° objective for the 2D sensor and
90° lenses for the LIM modules. Other objectives/lenses can be provided by Bluetechnix on request.
Note:
Be aware that using different objectives and lenses for other FOVs leads to different
objective/lenses height relative to the 3D and 2D sensor.
4.4 Sensor sensitivity
See Hardware User Manual of the TIM-uP-19k-S3-Spartan6 available from Bluetechnix website.
4.5 Optical Isolation
To prevent direct irradiation from the LIMs into the camera lens, an optical barrier has to be applied. There is
a component-free area on the TIM module to support an optical barrier down to the PCB (see Hardware User
Manual of TIM-uP-19k-S3-Spartan6).
The height of the optical barrier and the distance to the 3D sensor depends from the used objective and
FOV. The following picture shows one possibility how to design an appropriate optical barrier (a) for a FOV of
90° with 60mm² objective area (default configuration of the Sentis3D-M520).

5.1.2 ESD Sensitivity
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Charged devices and circuit
boards can discharge without detection. Although this product features patented
or proprietary protection circuitry, damage may occur on devices subjected to
high energy ESD. Therefore, proper ESD precautions should be taken to avoid
performance degradation or loss of functionality.
5.1.3 EMC
The system is intended for light industrial environments according to the following normative:
EN55022 class A, EN55024:2010
Only pre-compliance measurements according to the above stated normative will be performed on the
system. The customer responsible for the final product is also responsible to fulfill all regulations requested
by law.
