Electrical Requirements#

Camera Power#

You must supply camera power that complies with the Universal Serial Bus 3.0 specification.

The camera's nominal operating voltage is 5 VDC (minimum 4.5 VDC), effective on the camera's connector.

Opto-Coupled I/O Input Line#

• Minimum current: 5 mA
• Current draw: 5–15 mA
• If the camera is connected to a PLC device, Basler recommends using a cable that adjusts the voltage level of the PLC to that of the camera.

Opto-Coupled I/O Output Line#

• 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.

General Purpose I/O Lines#

Operation as Input#

• Current draw (high-level): <100 μA
• Sink current: Your application must be able to accept 2 mA sink current from the GPIO input line without exceeding 0.8 VDC.

Operation as Output#

• Internal pull-up resistor: ≈2 kΩ, 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.

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: Hirose micro plug (part number HR10A-7P-6S) or equivalent
• Proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
• Basler recommends using I/O cables from the Basler cable portfolio:
  • GPIO cable, 10 m (yellow cable): For use with the GPIO lines of your camera. To avoid interferences due to crosstalk, the opto-coupled I/O lines are not connected.
  • Opto-I/O cable, 10 m (blue cable): For use with the opto-coupled I/O lines of your camera. To avoid interferences due to crosstalk, the GPIO lines are not connected.
  • Opto-GPIO Y-cable, 2 x 10 m (yellow-blue cable): Allows you to use the GPIO lines and the opto-coupled I/O lines simultaneously without interferences due to crosstalk. There are two separate wires to split both I/O types.
  • Power-I/O PLC+ cable, 10 m (gray cable): For use with the opto-coupled I/O lines of Basler cameras connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC). It adapts the signal level for zero voltage from PLC level (<8.4 VDC) to TTL level (<1.4 VDC).
