[Installation Precautions]

[Installation Precautions]

[Wiring Precautions]

WARNING Before touching the vision sensor, be sure to touch an electric conductor such as grounded metal to

discharge the static electricity from your body. Otherwise, damage or faulty operation of the vision sensor may occur.

Be sure to install an I/O connector module to the main module. If not installed, dust or water-proof performance may not be obtained.

CAUTION IP protection rating is guaranteed only when all the connectors are connected with cables or sealed

with sealing caps. The cable is designed to connect with its key aligned with the keyway of the connector on the Vision

Sensor. Do not force the connections or damage may occur.

CAUTION Use only 24 VDC and observe the indicated polarity. Otherwise, fire or damage may result. The frame ground terminal of the I/O module and the shield ground of each connector (RS232 OUT

port and SENSOR port) are internally conducting. The system ground is designed on the condition that a ground connection is provided. The ground potential may affect the vision sensor and peripheral devices such as programmable controllers via cables. For safe operation, it is recommended to connect all the ground connections securely.

WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[Security Precautions]

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

[Disposal Precautions]

WARNING To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and

the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.

CAUTION Do not clean the vision sensor with highly irritating or corrosive solvent such as caustic alkali solution,

methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and gasoline. Doing so may cause a fault.

CAUTION When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE Observe the following precautions when installing and operating the vision sensor, to avoid the risk of injury or equipment damage: The power for a vision sensor is intended to be supplied by UL or NRTL approved power supply with a lowest rated output

voltage of 24 VDC with at least 2 A of current, a maximum short circuit current rating of less than 8 A, a maximum power rating of less than 100 VA, and marked Class 2 or LPS (Limited Power Source). Any other voltage creates a risk of fire or shock and can damage the components. Applicable national and local wiring standards and rules must be followed.

To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, or other irregularities in the power supply, route all cables away from high-voltage power sources.

Do not install the vision sensor where they are directly exposed to environmental hazards such as excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.

Do not expose an image sensor to laser light; image sensors can be damaged by direct or reflected laser light. If your application requires the use of laser light that may strike the image sensor, a lens filter at the corresponding laser's wavelength is recommended. Consult your local system integrator or application engineer for suggestions.

A vision sensor does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to a vision sensor. Any modification may void your warranty.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Service loops (extra wire length) should be included with all cable connections. If the bend radius or service loop is smaller than 10 times of the cable diameter, the cable may cause cable shielding

degradation, cable damage, or wear out in a short period. The bend radius must begin at least 152.4 mm from the connector.

This equipment is a Class A device. Using this equipment in a domestic environment may cause radio disturbance. In this case, the user may be required to take appropriate measures.

If there is concern about noise, set a noise filter (SNR-10-223, COSEL or an equivalent) between the vision sensor and the stabilized DC power supply.

When using the vision sensor for the first time, update its firmware to the latest by using the latest In-Sight Explorer (vision sensor setup tool).

3.3 I/O Specifications This section shows the connection example of the image acquisition trigger input and high-speed outputs, and specifications for cables and connectors.

For details of breakout cables, refer to the following: Page 26 Breakout cable specifications

Image acquisition trigger input An opto-isolated image acquisition trigger input (1) is integrated into a vision sensor. Image acquisition can be started using a sink type device or source type device. To start the image acquisition with these devices, "Camera" needs to be selected from the pull-down list of "Trigger" under "Edit Acquisition Settings" in In-Sight Explorer.

To trigger from the output of a sink type photoelectric sensor or programmable controller, connect 'Trigger' of a breakout cable to the output of the photoelectric sensor or an output module, and connect 'Input common' to 24 VDC. When the output is turned ON, 'Trigger' is pulled down to 0 VDC and the opto-coupler of the sensor is turned ON. To trigger from the output of a source type photoelectric sensor or programmable controller, connect 'Trigger' of a breakout cable to the output of the photoelectric sensor or an output module, and connect 'Input common' to 0 VDC. When the output is turned ON, 'Trigger' is pulled up to 24 VDC and the opto-coupler of the sensor is turned ON.

Specifications Description Voltage VIH: 15 to 28 VDC

VIL: 0 to 5 VDC

Current 2.6 mA/15 VDC 4.9 mA/28 VDC

Delay Maximum 190 s delay from when a vision sensor receives a trigger to when an image acquisition starts Minimum 1ms wide for an input pulse

General-purpose input Vision sensor VS70s have general-purpose inputs (opto-isolated type3). The inputs can be set as either a sink line or source line.

'High-speed output 2/Input 2' and 'High-speed output 3/Input 3' of a breakout cable can be used as a high- speed output or a general-purpose input by changing the setting in In-Sight Explorer. These lines are configured as outputs (high-speed output) by default.

To input data to a vision sensor with a sink type device (programmable controller or photoelectric sensor), connect 'General- purpose input 1' of a breakout cable to the output of the programmable controller or the photoelectric sensor, and connect 'Input common' to 24 VDC. When the output is turned ON, 'General-purpose input 1' is pulled down to 0 VDC and the opto-coupler of the sensor is turned ON. To input data to a vision sensor with a source type device (programmable controller or detector), connect 'General-purpose input 1' of a breakout cable to the output of the detector, and connect 'Input common' to 0 VDC. When the output is turned ON, 'General-purpose input 1' is pulled up to 24 VDC and the opto-coupler of the sensor is turned ON.

High-speed outputs High-speed outputs can be set as either a sink line or source line.

*1 The delay due to the turning OFF of optical isolators depends on which output is connected to the load. With a 470 load, the maximum delay will be 200 s.

For a sink type device, connect an external load between 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' of a breakout cable and the positive side (26.4 VDC or less). When 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned ON, the outputs are pulled down to 3 VDC or less, then a current flows to the external load. When 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned OFF, a current does not flow to the external load.

For a source type device, connect an external load between 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' of a breakout cable and the negative side (0 VDC). For a connection to which a 24 VDC power supply is connected, when 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned ON, the voltage of the outputs are pulled up to 21 VDC or more, then a current flows to the external load. When 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned OFF, a current does not flow to the external load.

Specifications Description Voltage 26.4 VDC maximum through external load

Current Sink current: Max. 50 mA Leakage current in OFF status: Max. 100 A External load resistance: 470 to 10 K

Each line is rated at a maximum 50 mA and protected against over-current, short circuits, and transients from switching inductive loads. A protection diode is required for a high inductive load.

High-speed output wiring To connect to the inputs of a sink type programmable controller, connect 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' of a breakout cable directly to the input terminals of the controller inputs. When 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned ON, the input terminals are pulled down to 3 VDC or less.

To connect to the inputs of a source type programmable controller, connect 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' of a breakout cable directly to the input terminals of the controller inputs. When 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned ON, the input terminals are pulled up to 21 VDC or more.

To connect 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3'' of a breakout cable to a relay, LED, or similar load, connect the negative side of the load to 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3'' and connect the positive side to 24 VDC. When 'High-speed output 0' to 'High-speed output 3' are turned ON, the negative side of the load is pulled down to 3 VDC or less, then 24 VDC is applied to the load. Use a protection diode for a high inductive load. Connect the anode to a output and connect the cathode to '24 VDC'.
