Electrical Requirements#

Camera Power#

• Power supply via USB 3.0 port: Power must comply with the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 specification.
• Power supply via I/O connector: The operating voltage is 12–24 VDC. As a minimum, 10.8 VDC must be supplied. To avoid damaging the camera, a maximum of 30 VDC must not be exceeded.

Opto-Coupled I/O Input Line#

• Input current (high-level): <15 mA internally limited
• Input current (high-level): >5 mA required to drive the opto-coupler

General Purpose I/O Lines#

Operation as Input#

• Input current (high-level): <100 μA
• Input current (low-level): <5 mA sink current from the GPIO input line without exceeding 0.8 VDC.

Operation as Output#

• Internal pull-up resistor: ≈650 Ω, with open collector. Many applications will have to provide an additional pull-up resistor.
• Residual voltage ("on" state): ≈0.4 VDC at 50 mA and 25 °C (77 °F) housing temperature. Actual residual voltage depends on operating temperature, load current, and production spread of electronic components.
• Leakage current: <60 µA. Actual leakage depends on operating temperature and production spread of electronic components.
• Maximum load current: 50 mA
• Minimum load current: Not specified. Consider the following:
  • Leakage current will have a stronger effect when load currents are low.
  • Propagation delay of the output increases as load currents decrease.
  • Higher-impedance circuits tend to be more susceptible to EMI.
  • Higher currents cause higher voltage drops in long cables.

For more information about the I/O lines, see the I/O Control section.

Circuit Diagrams#

Cable Requirements#

USB 3.0 Cable#

• Use a high-quality USB 3.0 cable with a Micro-B plug.
• To avoid EMI, cables must be shielded, as specified in the USB 3.0 standard.
• Basler recommends using USB 3.0 cables from the Basler cable portfolio.

For more information about recommended USB 3.0 cables, see the Recommended Accessories for Basler USB 3.0 Cameras document.

I/O Cable#

• The I/O cable must be shielded.
• The I/O cable must have a cross-section of at least 0.14 mm² (close to AWG26).
• Use twisted pair wire cables.
• Maximum recommended cable length: 10 m
• Camera-side connector: M8 6-pin male, coding A-standard, according to IEC 61076-2-104
• Proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
• Basler recommends using I/O cables from the Basler cable portfolio:
  • Power-I/O Cable M8 6p/open, 5 m
  • Power-I/O Cable M8 6p/open, 10 m

Physical Interface#

Camera Connectors and Status LED#

I/O Connector#

• M8 6-pin female connector, coding A-standard, according to IEC 61076-2-104
• Recommended mating connector: M8 6-pin male, coding A-standard, according to IEC 61076-2-104

USB 3.0 Micro-B Connector#
