1Handling and Safety Instructions

Depending on the operating conditions, the housing temperature can exceed

60 °C. There is a risk of injury!

Electrical installation should be executed without power applied to the device

and connected devices.

EMC conformity according to EN/IEC 61000-6-2:2005 is qualified for cable

lengths ≤ 30 m.

Only open the housing if advised by IMAGO!

➔Warranty void if product is opened without authorization by IMAGO.

Please take special note of the voltage range which may be applied to the device.

Otherwise, permanent damage to the device may result!

Due to the characteristics and physical principles inside flash memory, memory

cards have a finite lifetime dictated by the number of write operations.

Therefore, take care of the regular write operations to prevent an early flash

damage.

2Introduction

The heart of the VisionCam is a very powerful dual core ARM Cortex-A15 which brings your application to

the next level. We deliver the camera with a modern Debian based Linux OS, which gives the customer the

capabilities to use poplar programs and libraries. Debian currently provides about 59.000 packages.

The integrated Real-Time Communication Controller (RTCC) controls the I/Os. It ensures proper timing of

trigger signals without the influence of the Linux OS. IMAGO provides an easy-to-use SDK with software

libraries.

There are three models with different sensor types available:

•VisionCam XM: Area scan sensor

•VisionCam LM: Line scan sensor

•VisionCam EB: Event-based sensor

SoC

The VisionCam uses the TI Sitara AM572x SoC.

CPU

2x ARM Cortex-A15 (32 bit)

CPU frequency

1.5 GHz

Memory

1 GB DDR3

Storage

The VisionCam uses a microSD card as mass storage device. It is accessible under a service hatch.

The card stores the bootloader, FPGA firmware and the Linux file system.

SD, SDHC and SDXC (> 32 GB) cards are supported. The maximum interface speed supported is UHS-I

(104 MB/s).

Real-Time Clock

The VisionCam provides a Real-Time Clock which is buffered by a supercapacitor. The capacitor takes

about one day of active power supply to charge fully up. Then, it can then supply the clock for about one

week.

The time can be adjusted with Linux either manually, by a NTP server on the internet, or by a local NTP

server.
