National Instruments NI 17xx LED Error Indications

Appendix B Troubleshooting

• You configured the device in MAX or Vision Builder AI to expect a

trigger. Refer to the External Trigger section of Chapter 5, Image

Acquisition, for information about configuring an external trigger.

LED Error Indications

STATUS LED Error Conditions

The NI Smart Camera indicates specific error conditions by flashing the

STATUS LED a specific number of times. Refer to the STATUS LED

section of Chapter6, LEDs and DIP Switches, for the STATUS LED

flashing sequences and the corresponding error condition.

POWER LED is Not Lit When the NI Smart Camera is Powered On

If the power supply is properly connected to the smart camera, but the

POWER LED does not light up, check that the power supply is 24 V

+20%/–15% and within the specifications outlined in Appendix A,

Specifications. Verify that the power supply can supply enough current for

the smart camera model in use. Using a power supply that is not within

these specifications might result in an unresponsive or unstable system and

could damage the smart camera.

Caution The 24 V external lighting strobe is an unregulated output dependent on the range

of the power supply provided to the smart camera. If the power provided to the smart

camera is +20%/–15% with +5% AC ripple, the output could be as high as 30 V. If the

provided power exceeds the input voltage specifications of the third-party lighting

controller, do not connect the 24 V lighting strobe output to the controller to prevent

damage to the controller. Use a power supply with tolerances that meet the requirements

of the controller, or use the 5 V external lighting strobe.
