The BOA2 vision system offers flexible cabling to suit a number of application
configurations:
Cable Configurations
Panel Link Module (A-BVS-PL-101)
1. For single cable applications that do not require a runtime Ethernet connection, the
I/O-PWR cable provides limited communications and power between the camera
and the control environment. Note: Ethernet is still required for setup.
2. For typical applications, both the Ethernet and I/O-PWR cables are connected to
provide flexibility between the camera and the control environment.
3. In all configurations, the Lamp cable can be connected between the camera and a
compatible LED light source. The BOA2 vision system supplies power and strobe
control to the external light. Power is routed from camera power input to the lamp.
The PL-101 module is an optional module that provides a safe and convenient way to
interface with BOA2. It provides an isolation barrier between the factory and the camera
(differential isolation) and allows convenient panel wiring. The PL-101 also provides a
manual trigger button and status lights for application debug.
A-BVS-PL-101
BEWARE: Connecting a voltage on pin 1 of the lamp connector that is lower than
the input power voltage to BOA2 could result in damage to the camera!!

Software Interface
The BOA2 vision system is supplied with the iNspect Express vision application
embedded. This application offers a suite of vision capabilities to satisfy a diverse range
of automated inspection needs. The application interface is accessed through the
Ethernet connection using a PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher. You do not
need to install software on your host system to setup or operate the BOA2 system.
Take note of the following before attempting to access the application:
Getting Started
1. BOA2 vision systems are preconfigured with a default static IP address of
192.168.0.100 and name dalsaboa2.
2. The PC used to access BOA2 initially will need to be configured on the same
network neighborhood, but with a different address (i.e. 192.168.0.101). Consult
your system administrator for instructions on how to do this. The subnet mask
should be set automatically to 255.255.255.0
3. The BOAstatic IP address can also be changed at any time through the BOA2
web server interface to match your LocalArea Network. Click on the “Setup
Device” hot link to change the network address. Remember to keep a record of
what the new address is set to. BOA2 supports both DHCP and Static IP
addressing (preferred since the address does not change).
NOTE: Apower cycle is required before the new address will take effect.
4. If you incorrectly set, or forgot, the new address of your BOA2, you can run the
“iDiscover BOA” utility. This program is installed automatically when you click on
the “iNspect Express” or “upgrade” hot links in the web server interface. You can
also manually install it from the iNspect Express emulator CD.
5. In most cases you will need administrator privileges on your PC to access BOA2.
It may be necessary to customize the security settings on your browser to
download and runActiveX controls.
6. If for any reason you can not access BOA2 from your internet browser, you can
install the emulator application from the shipping CD and connect to the camera
through this interface. This step is explained in more detail later in the manual.
7. BOA2 is compatible with host computers running the Windows 7, 8.1 or 10
operating system.
NOTE: See document “BOA Troubleshooting Guide” on the CD.
Version 4.3; 2017-11-2014BOA2-XAInstallation

BOA2 is compatible with computers running Windows 7. 8.1 or 10 operating systems.
PC Security settings and the Network Interface should be configured for the BOA. You
