1. Scope of Application
This is to describe VCC-G22S21APCL Power Over Camera Link B/W CCD Camera. All specifications contained
herein are subject to change without prior notice. Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.
2. Handling Precautions
The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipments or aerospace equipments with which mechanical
failure or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our warranty does not apply to
damages or defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
zDo not use or store the camera in the following extreme conditions:
¾Extremely dusty or humid places.
¾Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –5 to +45 )℃℃
¾Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters.
¾Places subject to fluorescent light reflections.
¾Places subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
¾Places subject to strong vibration.
zRemove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower.
zDo not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera.
zDo not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.), and when camera
is not in use, put the lens cap on.
zFollow the instructions in Chapter 6, “External connector pin assignment” for connecting the camera.
Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera but also to the connected devices.
zConfirm the mutual ground potential carefully and then connect the camera to monitors or computers.
AC leaks from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
zDo not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supply
voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera.
zThe voltage ripple of camera power DC +12V±10% shall be within ±50mV. Improper power
supply voltage may cause noises on the video signals.
zPlease avoid noises like chattering when rising power.
In case of abnormal operation, contact the distributor from whom you purchased the product.

3. Product Outline
VCC-G22S21APCL is a high-resolution industrial B/W digital video camera module utilizing a 1/2 type PS IT CCD.
1.45M pixels CCD image sensor with on-chip micro-lenses realizes high sensitivity and high resolution.
At Full Frame Scan Mode, entire pixels can be read out within approx. 1/25s. Interface of G22S21APCL
complies with camera link standard.
Key Features
□ Either PoCL or PoCL-Lite interface output can be selectable.
□ Camera settings can be changed via serial communications.
□ Selectable 8 bit or 10 bit.
□ 1/25～1/90,000s shutter speeds can be set per 1H.
□ Full frame scan mode and three different partial scan modes are available.
□ Approx. 25 fps at full frame scan mode.
□ Only 29mm cubic in size (excluding projection), light weight 50g, and speed makes it a best match for
use in embedded systems.

8. Remote Interface Function
Through RS-232C interface, the camera can be controlled by external PC.
(1) The settings for RS-232C are as follows.
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Data: 8 bits
Stop bit: 1 bit
Parity: None
XON/XOFF: not controlled
(2) Control code
・ The total control code is 14 bits, which conforms to ASCII code.
・ The control code consists of camera No. process code, remote controller address, remote controller
data, and CR. Execute Read/Write through PC, and the camera will reply the data.

000～255 0 Dh
“W” Write mode
“C” Camera mode
Camera No. shall consist of 6 bytes of characters/numeric strings.
Send the individual camera number code or common number code, “000000”.
The reply data from the camera shall contain the registered number for that camera.
Process code
Input any one of R, W, or C to the process code.
R (read mode) is to read the data of remote controller address.
Please be noted to set any dummy data (000～255) to 11th ～13th, since a command shall consists of
14 bytes.
W (write mode) is to write the data to the remote controller address.
Please be noted that the data cannot be saved into EEPROM of the camera.
(Reboot the camera, and the data is reset to the initial setting.)
To save the data into EEPROM, please refer to Clause 5.4. Function Setting.
Note: Once the data was saved into EEPROM, it may not be reset to t he initial settings.

C is the code to send the data back from the camera.
Note: Do not set code C when sending the data from PC side.
Remote controller address
Note: Do not save the data into the address other than specified, since it may cause the
damages or malfunction of the camera.
Remote controller data
Set the decimal number (000～255) for the remote controller data. Please be noted to set any
dummy data at read control mode.
CR
Be sure to input “CR” to confirm the end of the command.
※10ms should be waited to send the next command after receiving the response from the camera when
changing the mode in succession.
