Camera Cables

Four-Camera Breakout Cable for RS-170 Cameras

This cable, available from Adept (P/N 10332-01375) has a 44-pin D-sub connector on one end, and it breaks out to four 12-pin Hirose-style camera connectors and one 9-pin D-sub connector on the other end. The length of the cable is 1.8 meters (70 inches).

Dual megapixel camera applications require a four-camera cable since their combined current draw exceeds the sAVI board's 1A limit in the absence of external power. An external 12V power supply is required for this application.

Similarly, due to the current limitation of the sAVI board, it cannot supply enough current to operate all four cameras from the four-camera cable. You must supply the external power to operate the cameras when using this cable. This power must be routed through the 9-pin D-sub connector, see Figure 4-2and Table 4-2for pin information. Connect the power and ground on the breakout cable to a 12V power supply producing 2.0A at 12VDC.

10-Meter Camera Extension Cables

The 10-meter camera extension cables have a male Hirose connector on one end and a female Hirose connector on the other end. These cables go between the breakout cables and the connectors on the cameras. Each camera requires one of these cables (or an equivalent). See Table 4-3 on page 77 for the pinout.

RS-422/485, XSYS, XUSR, RS-232/TERM specifications

Nortech Systems offers a comprehensive suite of serial communication solutions, including RS-232/TERM, XUSR, XSYS, and RS-422/485 interfaces. These products are designed to facilitate reliable and high-speed data transmission in various industrial applications, making them essential for connecting devices in automation, telecommunications, and data acquisition systems.

The RS-232/TERM interface is a widely adopted standard for serial communication, known for its simplicity and robustness. It supports point-to-point communication over relatively short distances, typically up to 50 feet. Key features include a maximum baud rate of up to 115.2 kbps, error-checking capabilities, and a straightforward connection process, making it ideal for connecting peripheral devices like printers, modems, and barcode scanners.

Building on the RS-232 standard, the XUSR and XSYS devices offer enhanced functionalities and flexibility. XUSR, for instance, supports not just traditional RS-232 connections, but also protocol conversion for various serial interfaces, facilitating seamless integration of legacy systems with modern networking technologies. It is particularly useful in environments where multiple protocols need to be managed simultaneously.

XSYS is designed for more complex applications and supports advanced communication features such as multi-drop configurations, enabling it to connect multiple devices on a single bus. This makes it suitable for extensive industrial networks where space and wiring complexity need to be minimized. Synchronous and asynchronous data transfer modes ensure that the XSYS is adaptable for both real-time data collection and standard command-response applications.

On the other hand, RS-422/485 interfaces excel in long-distance communication, allowing for data transmission over distances up to 4,000 feet. They are designed for multi-point connections, supporting up to 32 devices on a single bus through differential signaling, which enhances noise immunity. These characteristics make RS-422/485 particularly well-suited for environments with electromagnetic interference, such as factories or subways.

Nortech Systems’ serial communication solutions emphasize reliability, ease of use, and versatility. With their commitment to high performance and user satisfaction, these interfaces provide critical connectivity in today’s increasingly automated and interconnected world. Whether in data centers, manufacturing setups, or remote sensor networks, Nortech's offerings stand out for their reliability, efficiency, and adaptability, ensuring effective data communication across diverse applications.
