Pin Layout Trigger Interface / IO Interface (34-Pin Flat Cable Connector)

The 34-pin flat cable connector links the frame grabber to the trigger board. All Silicon Software frame grabbers offer 8 digital inputs (IN 0 - 7) , and 8 digital outputs (OUT 0-7).

The mapping of the connector pins to the individual inputs and outputs is the same for all Silicon Software frame grabbers.

How the individual inputs and outputs are used you can configure via applet. Please refer to the documentation of the applet you are using.

The pins of the 34-pin flat cable connector are connected to the following camera port inputs and outputs:

 

You can configure the parameter settings for each individual input and output in microDisplay and via SDK.

Default I/O configuration: 2.5V logic level signals (LVCMOS25). Signals are driven by open-collector drivers, pullups are on-board.

Optional I/O configuration only for microEnable IV AD4-CL and AD4-PoCL:

3.3V TTL (LVTTL) compatible I/Os (push/pull). VCCIO on Pin 32 and 34: +3.3V.

Please note that this configuration DOES NOT support the connection of two or more microEnable IV frame grabbers via the special flat cable offered by Silicon Software. If you are interested in this optional configuration, please contact Basler sales department or your local distributor.

 

Attention

 

With some applets, however, the usage of the individual inputs and outputs is fix and cannot be configured. These are the Acquisition Applets (as opposed to Advanced Acquisition Applets) on microEnable 4 frame grabbers. The sections below list how the usage of the individual inputs and outputs is programmed in these applets:
