Preparing the Controller and Cameras

Camera Setup
FH series Sensor Controllers use the CameraLink standard for camera connection. At normal camera
connection, a single camera cable is used for a single camera, and each camera is connected to the
Sensor Controller in the CameraLink base configuration. Starting from camera connector 0 on the
Sensor Controller, connect cameras to the camera connectors you want to use in ascending order of
camera connector number.
In the FHV series, there is no need to prepare the camera. Please prepare for 3-1-2 Preparing the
Controller on page 3 - 4 or later.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Immediately after starting up the FH series Sensor Controller and immediately after changing
scenes, there will be no input image. No input image is processed as the same color image
as in the factory default state.
• If you open the Properties Dialog Box before inputting an image, click the Cancel button to
close the dialog box. Pressing the OK button in the dialog box will change the setting to the
same color camera setting as the factory default setting.
Refer to The measurement NG (image mismatch) error will result when connecting a mono-
chrome camera. on page 11 - 11.
Using Two Cables for High-frame-rate Camera Use (FH series only)
FH series Sensor Controllers support the CameraLink standard’s Base Configuration and Medium
Configuration. The Medium Configuration enables use at a higher frame rate than the Base Configura-
tion, reducing image input time. The configuration that can be connected will depend on the connected
cameras. See the instruction sheet of the cameras you are using.
To connect a camera in the Medium Configuration, you will need to use two camera cables of the
same type and length to connect the camera and Sensor Controller (two-cable connection). Sensor
Controller camera connectors should be connected as a pair with ascending consecutive even and
odd numbered connectors. The table below shows the camera connector and camera number assign-
ments when connecting the Sensor Controller and camera cable with a two-cable connection.
l
Camera numbers for operation modes other than multi-line random trigger
mode
The table below shows the camera connector and camera number assignments when the opera-
tion mode is a mode other than the multi-line random trigger mode. A number corresponding to a
Sensor Controller camera connector number is assigned for the camera number. When using two-
cable connection, the even number in the pair of ascending consecutive camera connector num-
bers is assigned as the camera number.
