Trigger Connectors on LightBridge 2 VCL
Using triggers, you are able to control the image acquisition process. You can, for example, acquire an image at a particular moment, define when to accept an image delivered by the camera, specify how many lines should be acquired, control the lighting, etc.
You can use VisualApplets to build your specific trigger system for LightBridge 2 VCL1.
LightBridge 2 VCL within the production line (example)
LightBridge 2 VCL is equipped with various trigger interfaces and connectors that allow to set up a detailed and complex trigger system.
With LightBridge 2 VCL, you can
- receive trigger signals from external devices like shaft encoders, light barriers, etc. (trigger IN).
- send trigger signals from LightBridge 2 VCL to external devices like camera, lighting, etc. (trigger OUT)
LightBridge 2 VCL offers the following trigger interfaces:
- One 15-pin D-Sub socket (trigger unit “Front GPIO” on the slot bracket)
- One 10-pin socket (trigger unit “GPIO” on the rear side)
- Two software triggers (A and B)
- Four camera control signals (CC signals) per Camera Link port for controlling the camera
