5.1.2 Connecting several camera systems to a controller unit
Several camera systems can be connected to the controller unit via CAN bus.
For configuration, the camera systems are usually connected to an Ethernet switch via
the HOST ETHERNET interface. The configuration PC with the SOPAS-ET configuration
software then accesses the camera systems temporarily via Ethernet.
The Gbit interfaces of the camera systems can be connected to the Ethernet switch
for rapid image transmission.
The power required for the camera systems is provided by additional power supply
modules.
