Gocator Power / IO Connector

The Power / IO connector is a 12-pin, M12 style connector that provides power (camera, optional RMX140 light, and digital output). All inputs and outputs are optically isolated.

This connector is rated IP67 only when a cable is connected or when the protective cap is in place.

Opto-isolated Input Specifications

The input can be connected directly to the system for voltages up to 24 VDC. An external resistor is not necessary.

Observe the following levels:

Parameter	Value
V_in (low)	0 to 1.0 VDC
V_in (high)	3 to 24 VDC
Current (constant-current source)	3 to 4 mA

The following shows the minimum pulse width:

The input signal was driven with 3.3 VDC and no external additional series resistor.

Opto-isolated Output Specifications

NOTICE
	Damage to Gocator 2D Smart Camera by high output current or voltage Exceeding the maximum output voltage or current can damage Gocator 2D Smart Camera. Keep maximum output voltage below 24 VDC and output current below 10 mA.

NOTICE

Damage to Gocator 2D Smart Camera by high output current or voltage

Exceeding the maximum output voltage or current can damage Gocator 2D Smart Camera.

Keep maximum output voltage below 24 VDC and output current below 10 mA.

Possible low output voltage

Output voltage may drop by approximately 2.5 VDC under full load.

Observe the following levels:

Opto-isolated out power	Resistor value (at ~5 mA minimum required current draw)¹
5 VDC	1.0 kΩ
V_in (high)	2.4 kΩ
Current (constant-current source)	4.7 kΩ
1. A resistor is required when Digital_Out_1, Digital_Out_2, or Trigger_Out (strobe) are connected to devices with a high impedance < 5 mA draw.
