System wiring
Warning:
Before the device is connected to the supply network during commissioning, an acclimatization time of at least two hours must be taken into account, especially if the device is dewy due to temperature fluctuations.
If there is moisture in or on the device, the device must not be put into operation.The device is designed for operation on a rated supply voltage, before commissioning, check that this data is correct.
Information: Please refer to the documentation for the wiring of our camera systems
Terminal "Sensor" (3)
An external trigger sensor for the camera can be directly connected and also supplied via the "SENSOR" terminal.
Sensor wiring depending on camera and CIN setting:
| CIN setting | Principle image |
|---|---|
| PNP (top) |
|
| NPN (bottom) |
|
Terminal"Encoder" (4)
An external encoder can be connected directly to the camera via the "ENCODER" terminal.
The connected camera must support the rotary encoder function!
Warning:
5VDC and 24VDC signal generators are supported, but only 24VDC signal generators may be supplied via the VCC terminal. 5VDC devices require an external supply!
Improper connection can lead to a defect of the device.
The internal wiring of the signals looks as follows:
| Encoder | CAM1/CAM2 | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | IN1 | Internally connected |
| A- | IN2 | Internally connected |
| B+ | IN3 | Internally connected |
| B- | IN4 | Internally connected |
| VCC | 24VDC | |
| GNC | GND |
Terminal CAM1/CAM2 (5)
The camera is connected to the EASY-CBOX via the "CAM1" / "CAM2" terminal using the IO cable. For each camera model, input/output wiring with the corresponding potential can be set separately.
Warning:
The input and output potentials of the camera must be set correctly.otherwise it may cause damage or malfunction of the hardware.
Ex works the potentials are set to PNP and HTL.
Only cameras that are designed for operation with 24VDC may be supplied via the VCC/GND terminal.!
