CHAPTER 2
RAPID CONFIGURATION
STEP 1- CONNECT THE SYSTEM
In the typical layout shown in the figure below, an Ethernet host is connected to three
cameras. Before proceeding with the connection, it is necessary to configure the camera
Ethernet parameters in VPM. For more information, see Impact Reference Guide. The
camera can use an external trigger or internal software trigger to signal image acquisi-
tion. If an external trigger is used, the Ethernet host connection is needed only for cam-
era and program configuration and inspection monitoring.
The Terminal Block is used to facilitate the connection between the camera, external
trigger, and optional input and output devices.

* The external trigger is not needed when a software trigger is supplied by the host.
• Power Supply Connection
Use the PG600x AC/DC Power Supply Unit (3 versions for European, UK or US
plug).
• Terminal Block Connection
Use CAB-DSxx-S between the P2x-Series™ camera and the Terminal Block for
power, external trigger device (photocell), and additional I/O connections.
