2.3 SOFTWARE FEATURES

The detector is interfaced with the Radiographic System through programmation and control via a

serial link and a message protocol.

The detector can send to the System, upon request, messages containing the hardware and software

revision numbers, and the detector's serial number and date code.

The detector has built-in self-test features to provide the System with information for malfunction

diagnostic and preventive maintenance (see mode table).

The detector can generate, if enabled, error or warning messages in case of communication or

internal electronics malfunctions (such as internal voltages drifts or breakdowns). It is the System's

responsibility to decide what to do in case of such an error or warning.

The detector has built-in low-level routines that can be used by the System to perform image quality

tests.

The detector has a built-in set of test patterns that can be used to check the operation of the

detector's electronics (analog test patterns) and of the image data transmission (digital test patterns)

: see mode table and software interface specification.

If the detector has to reboot due to an internal error, it is able to come up to a normal operating

mode by itself.

2.4 OPERATION MODE - SYNCHRONIZATION

The internal detector timing is synchronized with an external signal connected to the Mains

synchronization input (see Power supply and mains synchronization input connector in section

2.2.1)

External synchronization period is 20 ms when operating on 50Hz mains frequency and 16.7 ms

when operating on 60 Hz mains frequency. The operation timing sequences remain the same

whatever the mains frame rate is.

5 PIXIUM 4600 REGULAR OPERATION

5.1 RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1.1 Temperature

Operation temperature must be kept as stable as possible within the specified range.

The detector can be operated within the operation environmental conditions without any cooling

means, provided natural convection of air within the detector ambient temperature range along the

detector back plate is made possible by System integration. In case natural convection is not

possible or not sufficient, an external cooling device must be installed and attached to the detector

by the means of dedicated threaded holes in the back plate of the detector housing. The external

cooling device should then extract heat from the detector back plate. Refer to the following section

for additional information on heat sink mounting.

The detector is equipped with a temperature monitor used both to send early warning messages to

the System in case of too low or too high detector temperature, and to measure the detector

electronics temperature. The measured temperature can be sent to the System in a message upon

System request. It is the System's responsibility to decide what to do in case of detector temperature

warning.

5.1.2 Cooling

The detector is not sealed against the ingress of a thermal greace. Therefore do not use any thermal

grease or other material when attaching a heat sink or other thermal exchanger to back face of the

detector. Use of such material can harm the detector and will invalidate the warranty of the detector

if they have been found to have entered the detector housing.

5.1.3 EMC compliance

The power supply cable must be shielded with shield continuity at the power supply input

connector. We recommend to place one EMI core KITAGAWA model KFC-130, on the power

supply cable, as close as possible to 9-pin connector.

The communication cable must be shielded with shield continuity at the communication input

connector. Trixell recommend to :

- use a connector JST series MD on the communication cable.

- use the low capacitance computer cable BELDEN model 8103 or equivalent (24AWG, 3

pairs).

- place one EMI core WÜRTH model 7427113 or equivalent, on the communication cable,

as close as possible to communication connector.

In order to reduce magnetic interferences, the detector needs to be synchronized to the mains

frequency of the System installation (refer to Section 2.4 Operation mode - Synchronization)

Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can affect the detector.

5.1.4 Warm-up time from a cold start

The detector will be fully operational within typically 30 minutes after being powered up with

performance levels guaranteed after a maximum of 240 minutes. It is the System responsibility to

check for this delay.

5.2 INTEGRATION

5.2.1 Front protective label

The detector is delivered with a large label attached to the input carbon fiber composite substrate. It

provides marks to align the X-ray beam collimation with the detector sensitive array.

! ! ! CAUTION ! ! !

Remove the protective label before operation (or before detector integration on the

System).

! ! ! ATTENTION ! ! !

Oter l’étiquette de protection avant la mise en service ou l’intégration du détecteur

5.2.2 Mechanical fixations :

In all cases, the detector must be fixed to the System by means of all eight screws M4 (refer to

outline drawing for location), with a threaded length of 4 mm minimum and a total length of 7 mm.

For accessory fixation on the detector back side (such as heat sinks), use up to eight screws M4

(refer to outline drawing for location), with a length of 6 mm maximum.

Refer to appendix C (outline drawing) for the location of these fixations.

The detector can be operated in any position in space (0 to 360° in any X, Y, Z directions).

5.3 X-RAY GENERATOR CONNECTION

The PIXIUM 4600 provides three different possibilities to enable X-Radiation. Depending on the

System receiving the detector, X-ray emission can be enabled using :

• Current-loop signal linked with Com signals on the mini-DIN connector and designed to

drive an optocoupler device

• Microcontroler messages on the RS-232 serial link

• Taxi messages linked with image data on the optic fiber

! ! ! CAUTION ! ! !

Whatever possibility is used, the X-ray Enable signal only indicates to the System that

the detector is ready to receive X-radiation. It is the System responsibility to control the

actual emission of X-radiation.

! ! ! ATTENTION ! ! !

Quelque soit la solution retenue, le signal “X-ray Enable” ne fait qu’indiquer au système

que le détecteur est prêt à recevoir un rayonnement X. Il est de la responsabilité du système

de contrôler l’émission de rayonnement X.

5.4 CONFIGURATION AND UPGRADE

There is no manual configuration nor adjustment required for the detector (e.g. jumper setting,

etc...). All configuration and adjustment steps are possible via message exchange between the

System and the detector.

The upgrade of the detector's firmware (except the boot software) can be done at the factory via a

setup file download using the communication protocol.

5.5 CALIBRATION

Calibrations needed for image quality are defined by the system program.
