1 Introduction
Introduction
The MVS600x boards belong to the new generation of ICOS vision boards. They replace the
MVS3x0 series (that is the MVS340 or the MVS360), provide higher performances (speed,
standstill time, accuracy, …) and use the Plug & Play concept for hardware installation:
parameters are stored in the registry and application-specific settings are not stored on the board
anymore.
These boards should no longer be booted prior to starting up the MMI. The board can be
launched inside the MMI. Graphics and video are sent over the PCI to the VGA card. No extra
hardware or extra monitor is needed.
The “SEEPROM” parameters, which were stored on board for the MVS3x0, are now stored in a file
on the PC and read by the MVS600x board at startup. This way, the settings will automatically be
correct after boards are exchanged.

2.1 MVS600x Board
The MVS6000 family consists of three boards: the MVS6000 board, the MVS6001 board and the
MVS6002 board.
The differences between the three board types are the camera connections:
·The MVS6000 board supports two analog cameras
·the MVS6001 board supports one analog and one digital camera
·the MVS6002 board supports two digital camera
For detailed information (see page 2-12).
In the following two sections, you get an overview of the main hardware blocks and you see the
layout of the MVS6000 board and the MVS6002 board.
2.1.1 Main Hardware Blocks
·2 DSP chips: TI320C6202 - 250Mhz
·SDRAM: 32 MB, used for application software, models, images,…
·Xilinx programmable components used, for example, for the timing generators of the cameras
·PLX driver for PCI communication (which gives the board read/write access to the hard disk)
·3 SEEPROMS: for board-specific initial settings only
·2 independent parallel video input channels
·PCI or RS232 communication
·Digital camera support as an option

2.1.2 General Layout of the MVS6000 Family
This section shows the layout of the MVS6000 and the MVS6002 board.
Each board has different camera connectors, see page 2-12.

2.1.3 Power Consumption
The power consumption is lying within the PCI specifications:
·+5V: max. 4A
·+12V: 200mA + power of all connected cameras
·-12V: 150mA.
2.1.4 Minimum PC Requirements
·minimum Pentium III 600Mhz
·minimum 133Mhz front side bus
·minimum 64MB SDRAM
·video graphics card:
·minimum AGP*4
·resolution 1280*1024 with 64K colors should be supported
·8 MB display memory: avoid using UMA (sharing SDRAM as display memory)
·for each board one full length PCI slot must be available.

MVS6000 System Level Manual/1.0/Dec-2001 2-5
2.1.5 Communication
·PCI pipe communication
·RS232 communication:
The following baud rates are supported: 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,
19200, 38400, 57600, 115200.
Note: 1. ICOS provides the WinCommDll.dll for the communication (see page 5-2). This
driver is available for WinNT4.0 and Win2000 (and can also be used for the ISA
and HS3L communication on MVS3xx and MVS100/200).
2. When no serial communication is used, the baud rate should be set to 0. This
will improve the performance of the system.
2.1.6 Flat Cable Connectors
The connectors at the topside of the board are labeled:
Each connector is explained in detail on the next page.

C2 & C3: LI1 and LI2
These connectors are serial connections to the ICOS light interface (LI) boards.
C4: PIO
This connector supports four groups of 8 bit PIO that can be programmed as an input or output.
The MVS software does not yet support this.
C5: JTag
This connector is used for in circuit emulation, programming primary software for testing in
production environment or for boundary scan to check the processors.
C6 & C7: MCBSp2 and MCBSp1
This is a multi-channel buffered serial port: it is a standard serial port for connecting multiple
TMS320C6202 DSP processors. The MVS software does not yet support this port.
C8 & C9: Duart B and Duart A
These ports are used for serial communication with the board and can be set in menu mode,
message mode or host mode.
