Installation
Mounting
The following section provides an overview about controller, dome, and camera mounting options.
CAUTION: Room temperature cannot exceed 40 degrees. For more information, see Operating Environment on
page 14.
31
Installation
Note: Since the dowel pins are hard to fit, we recommend stating the correct orientation of the camera mount already
when the order is placed. Then the system will be delivered already correctly mounted.
With some cameras, predominantly line-scan cameras, the adapter plate is replaced by a camera-specific adaption. Please
contact us if you want to use a camera that cannot be mounted with the standard adapter plate.
Camera Orientation
You can freely select the orientation of standard Dome systems.
With Scan systems, the camera orientation depends on the direction of movement of the inspection part. The sensor line is
oriented perpendicularly (90°) to the direction of movement. The first pixel must be on the left in the direction of movement.
32
Installation
The orientation of the camera with reference to the dome system carrier depends on the orientation of both dome and
camera. The controller must be informed about the orientation of the camera with reference to the dome system carrier when
it is set up in order to ensure the correct lighting direction. This can be done with the sequencer parameter “Orientation”.

Installation
Power Supply
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the controller is switched off.
WARNING: Use only the power supply cable provided by Cognex. Other power supply cables are not compatible.
35
Installation
CAUTION:
Before establishing the power supply connection, make sure that the supply network meets the following requirements:
l 100-240 V AC +/- 10%
l 50-60 Hz
l 550 VA
In order to connect to the power supply, connect the cold device plug of the power supply cable to the IEC socket (24) of the
controller. Now connect the other plug of the power supply cable to your supply network.
36
Device Mode and Functional Groups
The device mode determines the range of functions available to the controller. For example, a Trevista CI Dome setup using
a controller in Area Scan mode does not support a rotary encoder.
Parameters not required for the current mode cannot be accessed and use default parameters set at the factory.
The following table provides an overview of the functionality any Trevista CI Dome controller supports depending on the
configured device mode.
Activating optional functional groups enhances the standard range of functions of the two device modes. For example, by
activating the functional group Sequencer additional functionality, you can access further sequencer features, such as setting
a user-defined light sequence.
The following table provides an overview of optional functional groups.
Device Mode
Trevista CI Dome has two device modes, Area Scan and Line Scan.
Area Scan
Trevista CI Dome Area Scan mode produces slope, curvature, and texture images, of a stationary object.
The schematic layout of the Area Scan device mode:
37
Device Mode and Functional Groups
The camera captures four images and for each image, the object is illuminated from a different direction. Trevista CI Dome
uses these input images to calculate the following output images:
l Slope in X direction
l Slope in Y direction
l Texture image
l Curvature image
38
Device Mode and Functional Groups
Line Scan
Trevista CI Dome Line Scan mode produces slope, curvature, and texture images, of a rotating or moving object.
The schematic layout of the Line Scan device mode:
A line-scan camera captures images where the width corresponds to the desired width of the measuring field. The object
feed rate between two image acquisitions must be exactly one fourth of one line height. Lines are then captured continuously.
Four subsequent lines are always lighted from different directions.
The Line Scan algorithm calculates the four input images from the single images taken. The algorithm uses the input images
to calculate the output images of slope, curvature, and texture.
Image acquisition and processing in Line Scan mode:
39
Device Mode and Functional Groups
Functional Groups
You can extend the default range of functions of the device modes Area Scan and Line Scan by activating optional functional
groups. You must specify the desired additional functionality before placing an order for the controller.
Light/Camera I/O 1 + 2
The functional group Light/Camera I/O 1 + 2 lets you use and parameterize the Light 1 + 2 and Camera I/O 1 + 2 interfaces.
Connect further single-channel lighting through the Light 1 + 2 interface.
WARNING: The output drivers of the Light 1 + 2 interfaces are pure sources of electricity. Operating light that requires
constant voltage or light with an electrical ballast can lead to the destruction of the controller or the light.
Connecting lighting with a capacitive or an inductive impedance can lead to the destruction of the controller or the
lighting.
The forward voltage of the light cannot exceed 35 V with the desired operating current, measured at the controller connector.
The controller may limit the operating current so the maximum permissible power dissipation is not exceeded at the controller
end. The higher the forward voltage of the light, the higher the maximum possible operating current.
The interfaces Camera IO 1 + 2 and Camera IO 0 are identical in design and can support up to two additional cameras that
work together with lights 1 and 2.
Sequencer
The functional group Sequencer Additional Functionality allows you to alter the lighting sequence extensively. Depending on
the device mode, you can alter the following parameters:
40
Device Mode and Functional Groups
l Sequence length
l Switch-on time of the individual channels of light 0, 1, and 2
l Trigger time of cameras 0, 1, and 2
l Number of sequence repeats
l Number of step repeats
41
Controller Interfaces
Controller Interfaces
The following sections describe the interfaces between the Dome controller and connected devices of a Trevista CI Dome.
Note:
l Only use shielded cables for the external cabling of the Dome controller. The cable shielding must be applied on
both sides.
l Cables connected to the Dome controller must not exceed a length of 10 m (32.81 ft).
l You can only connect and disconnect Dome controller connectors when the Dome controller is switched off.
Connecting or disconnecting connectors during operation may lead to the destruction of the components.
l You must connect the ground connection (26) of the Dome controller to the surrounding machine or control
cabinet ground. The ground cable must not exceed a length of 1 m (3.28 ft) and must have a wire cross section
of at least 2.5 mm² (0.039 in²). Cognex recommends to use an HF band with copper braiding to enhance
interference immunity.
Ethernet
You control and parametrize the Dome controller through the Ethernet interface. Alternatively, you can save the
parametrization in the device. In this case, using the Ethernet interface is optional when you control the illumination unit
through the sequencer release digital I/O line.
Camera I/O
You can supply the camera with 12 V or 24 V voltage through the Camera I/O interface. Additionally, you can connect up to
two signals from the camera to the Dome controller through inputs 0 and 1, for example “Integration Enable” or “Exposure”.
The two inputs are galvanically isolated. You can use outputs 0 and 1 as TTL or open-drain outputs.
Basic Circuit
The following image shows the basic internal circuit of the Camera I/O interface:
42
Controller Interfaces
Pin Assignment
The following image shows the pin assignment of the Camera I/O interface:
43
Controller Interfaces
1
With hardware versions 0 and 1, pin 1 is only a TTL output. A connection as an open-drain output is not possible.
2
In hardware versions 0 and 1, pin 6 is supplied with the signal Out 0 and is only designed as an open-drain output. A
connection as a TTL output is not possible.
Connection Example
Sequencer Control
The following illustration shows the signal path from the camera to the Dome controller. This enables you, for example, to
control the sequencer clock or the sequencer enabling.
Input 0 is the sequencer clock, usually used with matrix cameras in standard device mode. You can select the logic signal
assigned to the camera output for most cameras. For this example, the output signals that the camera is exposing
(Integration-Enable, Exposure, …).
By wiring Input 1 (sequencer release), you can control the sequencer if you do not want to control it through the software.
Camera Trigger
The following two illustrations show the signal path from the Dome controller to the camera. This wiring is only required in
special cases as it enables, for example, the Dome controller to trigger the camera. You can use outputs 0 and 1 as TTL or
open-drain outputs.
The following image shows output 0 or 1 used as a TTL output.

Output current 2 A
Aux I/O
The Aux I/O interface is a universal interface that you can use, for example, to trigger a frame grabber.
The two outputs are available as TTL, LDVS, and RS-422 variants. The voltage at the pin “Out TTL VCC” determines the
output voltage of the TTL outputs. Connect the pin “Out TTL VCC” to either the pin “+5 V Aux IO” or to the pin “+3.3 V Aux IO”
to set the high level at the TTL outputs at 3.3 V or 5 V, respectively. You must only use the pins “+5 V Aux IO” and “+3.3 V Aux
IO” for this purpose.
The interface has two inputs. Two inputs are designed as a TTL variant, and two as an LVDS variant.
Note: Never interconnect the pins “+5 V Aux IO” and “+3.3 V Aux IO”. Please use the pins “+5 V Aux IO” and “+3.3 V
Aux IO” exclusively for supplying the TTL output drivers.

Controller Interfaces
Digital I/O
The Digital I/O interface provides eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs as 24 V variants. The inputs and outputs are
galvanically isolated.
51
Controller Interfaces
Note: When the output drivers are supplied with an internal voltage, the galvanic isolation of the outputs is lost.
Optionally, you can apply an external sequencer enable signal to Input 0 if you cannot or do not want to enable the sequencer
from software.
You must supply 12-24 V external voltage at the pin “Out VCC” to the digital output drivers. Alternatively, you can use the
controller-internal voltages at the pins “+12 V Digital IO” or “+24 V Digital IO”. In this case, you must also interconnect the pins
“GND” and “Out GND”.
Note: Each output can drive up to 700 mA of current. However, the sum of all output currents must not exceed 2 A.

Encoder
You can connect an incremental encoder (rotary encoder / glass scale) to the Dome controller through the encoder interface.
The interface provides 5 V and 24 V outputs for the voltage supply of the encoder.
Note: You must only use the power supply outputs to supply the encoder.
The encoder inputs (A+, A-, B+, B-) are galvanically isolated. When using encoders with ground-referenced A/B signals, this
galvanic isolation is lost.
Note: Cognex recommends using our programmable encoders, with which you can set the number of pulses per
revolution through the Dome controller.

Light
You can connect the lights to the Dome controller through the Light interfaces.
Light 0
Make sure to only connect Cognex trevista® lights to the “Light 0” interface. The light transmits the light data to the Dome
controller after you switch on the Dome controller.
The automatic light data of Cognex lights contain the following parameters, among others:
l Nominal current at 100% brightness and 100% calibration
l Maximum current
l Forward voltages with different currents
l Maximum duty cycle and maximum activation time of the light with different currents
l Position of the light channel inside the Trevista CI Dome
l Temperature sensor type and position inside the light
You can connect any LED lights that meet the following criteria to the “Light 1” and “Light 2” interfaces:
60
Controller Interfaces
l The light must provide the LED connections directly and must not contain a ballast.
Note: The output drivers of the “Light 1" and "Light 2” interfaces are pure sources of electricity. Operating a light
that requires constant voltage or a light with an electrical ballast can lead to the destruction of the Dome
controller or the light.
l The operating voltage of the light including cable (measured at the Dome controller connector) at maximum current is
less than 35 V.
l The operating current of the light is between 200 mA and 10 A.
Note: Connecting lighting with a capacitive or an inductive impedance can lead to the destruction of the Dome controller
or the lighting.
For trevista® lights not manufactured by Cognex, you must enter the light parameters manually. These are limited to the
following parameters:
l Nominal current at 100% brightness and 100% calibration
l Maximum current
1. Configure the Dome controller before connecting a light, using the Cognex device configurator.
a. Set the Light data parameter to manual. For more information, see chapter 10.5.2 Light (XREF NEEDED).
b. Enter the maximum current with which the lighting can permanently operate in the Maximum current
parameter. The maximum current must be greater than or equal to the nominal current. For more information,
see chapter 10.5.2 Light (XREF NEEDED).
c. Enter the nominal current of the lighting in the Nominal current parameter. The nominal current must be less
than or equal to the maximum current and refers to a brightness setting of 100%. For more information, see
chapter 10.5.2 Light (XREF NEEDED).
d. Save the settings as initial state in the device.
2. Turn off the Dome controller.
3. Connect the light.
4. Turn on the Dome controller.
Training Sequence
After switching on, the Dome controller automatically runs a training sequence for every light channel to determine the
lighting voltages at nominal current and at maximum current. If necessary, the Dome controller reduces the maximum
brightness and consequently the maximum current if the maximum current cannot be reached.
Note: Make sure to determine the correct values for the Light data, Maximum current, and Nominal current
parameters, and save them as initial state with the Cognex device configurator before you turn on the Dome controller
If you want to operate a light with manual light data, you make sure to determine the light data (especially Maximum current)
correctly and save as initial state before connecting the light to the controller. Otherwise, the light could be destroyed.
CAUTION:
It is your responsibility to enter correct light data when configuring the device manually. Cognex does not assume
liability for damages and operational disruptions.
61
Controller Interfaces
Note: The Dome controller always uses the data of Cognex lights with light data can be read out digitally. The Dome
controller ignores manual data even when the parameter Light data is set to Manual.
Higher operating voltages of the light (30-35 V) lead to less power dissipation of the Dome controller, especially in connection
with higher currents. This also results in a higher maximum duty cycle and higher maximum activation time.
The Dome controller monitors the LED current and voltage both in the on and off state, separately for each light channel. The
sampling interval is approximately 20 µs. The Dome controller can only monitor states that last longer than the sampling
interval.
If the determined current or voltage is not within the expected value range, it leads to errors or warnings.
In an error state, all light channels are switched off and the power supply of all LED drivers is deactivated in order to prevent
damage to the Dome controller and to the light. You can only exit this state by restarting the Dome controller.
The following errors can occur during current and voltage monitoring:
l Overcurrent in switched-on state – the current is higher than the selected nominal value. The display shows an error
notification, for example Led driver 2: L0C2: Overcurrent.
l Fault current in switched-off state – a current is present even though the lighting channel is switched off. The display
shows an error notification, for example Led driver 1: L0C1: Fault current.
l Error in the LED driver – the voltage drop of the LED driver in switched-on state is too high, which could lead to the
destruction of the driver. The display shows an error notification, for example Led driver 6: L1C0: Mosfet voltage out
of range. This means that the LED voltage is too low, possibly indicating a short circuit.
The following warnings can occur during current and voltage monitoring:
l The current in switched-on state is too low. The display shows an error notification, for example Led driver 0: L0C0:
Current too low. I < Iset.
l The voltage drop of the LED driver in switched-on state is too low; the current may not be regulated correctly. The
display shows an error notification, for example Led driver 0: L0C0: Low voltage reserve. I incorrect?.
Note: Current and voltage monitoring is inactive during activation and deactivation phases with a duration of less than
20 µs. The Dome controller cannot detect error or warning states during these phases. Cognex recommends not to fall
below an activation or deactivation time of 20 µs.

The following image shows the basic circuit of the Light 0 connection (6 LED channels). The connections for Light 1 and Light
2 both have only one LED channel each.

Note: The positive and the negative connections of an LED channel are available though several plug pins. When you
connect a light, interconnect these pins within the connector to ensure the equal distribution of current between several
pins. For example, Light 1: LED0+: Pin 6 + 7 + 8, LED0-: Pin 13 + 14 + 15.
