2Pinout and Installation
Warning:
The CCD camera is built with CMOS-LSI circuits. All internal electronics in
the camera are sensitive to high voltage or electrostatic discharge. The
camera can be destroyed if carelessly handled, so extreme care should
be taken during set up and operation.
Do not expose the sensor to a direct laser beam as this could damage the
sensor! See Safety Instructions at Appendix H. Warranty will be void if
not followed.
2.1 Unpacking
Camera
Power supply (if ordered/option)
User Manual
SDK/API user guide
CD with SDK including “Filter Driver”, API and GUI “SVCapture” (for
GigE camera) program. Also a Firmware update tool.
XML File according to GenIcam standard released by AIA
committee. This is stored inside the camera.
2.2 Power supply
Current consumption:
= 300 mA (typical)
Peak current on “Power on” up to 500 mA!
Current consumption increases rapidly when “partial scan” feature is
used!

2.3 Connectors if not IP67 (“M” style connector)
2.3.1 One common signal connector for:
Trigger and TTL input to trigger camera
General purpose I/Os

2.3.2 “Ethernet” Connector
RJ 45 “Western” Connector complies with Autosensing 100 T Ethernet
and Gigabit specification. Features Auto MDIX.
1 LED for status indication
2.4 Installation/Getting started: Recommended PC
It is recommended to use a PC with a Pentium i5 processor or higher. The
camera is working also on lower frequencies but it might not deliver the full
frame rate in those cases.
If the camera is connected to the PC directly without using a network switch, a
fixed IP-Address and Subnet-Mask should be configured in the PC’s
TCP/IP settings unless it is done by DHCP:
See: Start -> Settings -> Network connections -> LAN-connection ->
Properties -> TCP/IP

Users Manual – eco1050, eco2050, eco2150, eco4050, eco674, eco694, eco814 p. 8
A Gigabit Ethernet network adapter is needed (100 MBit adapters would also
work, but with reduced frame rates). If your PC does not have a Gigabit
interface card purchase a card using an original INTEL (TM) Chip set.
Currently PCI(e) bus cards with 82546 chip set version have been tested successfully.
If you do not follow this, a significantly reduced data transmission rate
is observed. Also the loss of data can appear.

2.5 Hardware
Install camera in the desired location. You can use the ¼’’ tripot
adapter or use the 4 M3 holes in the adapter of the camera.
Connect the power supply. If you have ordered a P/S connect it to the
camera. If you use your own power supply ( e.g. 10 -25 V DC) make
sure you connect it to Pin1(GND) and Pin 2 ( e.g. +12 -25 V).
If you – by mistake – supply line with GND pin the camera can be
damaged! If power supply was ordered, do not modify it.
Connect an Ethernet cable to your PC or a network switch like you would build
up a PC Network. Please note that cable length should not exceed 100 m for
theses camera (Cat 5E version). In doubt consult your local distributor.
Wait 15 seconds until the green LED at the RJ45 connector of the Camera
blinks sometimes.
Then start “SVCapture.exe”.
2.6 Available operation modes
2.6.1 General
All modes are set by the interface which connects via Ethernet standard
cable.
Minimum CAT 5E quality is required.
The default factory setting is Free Running/Fixed frequency using the
internal logic for exposure control. You can also trigger the camera by hardware
and by PC (software trigger).
For color: With the SDK comes a free software algorithm which will allow
processing of the color image inside the PC. This must to be done in order to
interpolate the colors for each pixel. Please note that no responsibility can be
taken for the algorithm. It might be necessary to change the algorithm
according to the application.
See chapter 12.7

Users Manual – eco1050, eco2050, eco2150, eco4050, eco674, eco694, eco814 p. 10
2.6.2 Operation Modes
Free Running/fixed Frequency
Triggered, external exposure control
If you want to trigger the camera and determine the exposure time by
the pulse width of the Trigger, choose this mode. Then apply a trigger
signal at the appropriate pins e.g. on pins of the Hirose or M12
connector (see 2.3.1). With the starting edge of the pulse the camera
will start exposure time. The exposure time ends with next upcoming
edge of a Trigger. Please check the timing diagram in the appendix of
this manual.
External triggered, internal camera exposure control
If you want to trigger the camera and use the convenient exposure time
control of the micro controller then use this mode. You still can use the
SVCapture GUI for setting exposure time (see “Exposure time”-field
below). However you need to use a signal to trigger the camera (see
“Trigger”-buttons below).
External triggered via Software trigger with internal exposure
control
If you want to trigger the camera with a software trigger and use the
SVCapture exposure time control of camera logic then use this mode.
