C2C tool functional and wiring diagram
The C2C-Link Synchronization tool (C2C) tool delivers one event stream to the C2C-Link Bus driver. It includes the following blocks:
| ● | A source selector |
| ● | A clock source selector |
| ● | An event synchronizer with clear control |
Operation
Source selector
The source selector selects the event stream applied to the tool input (In). It provides following options:
| ● | On C2C1 instance only: Cycle Trigger event stream driven by the Camera and Illumination controller. |
| ● | On C2C2 and C2C3 instances only: any I/O toolbox event. |
Synchronizer control
The clock source selector controls the event stream synchronization:
| ● | When C2CLinkSynchronizationToolClock is set to Immediate, the event stream applied to the input (In) is sent immediately to the output. |
| ● | On C2C2 and C2C3 instances only: when C2CLinkSynchronizationToolClock is set to CycleTrigger, the event is latched and delayed until the following Cycle Trigger event. |
| ● | On C2C2 and C2C3 instances only: when C2CLinkSynchronizationToolClock is set to StartOfCameraReadout, the event is latched and delayed until the following Start of Camera Readout event. |
The C2CLinkSynchronizationToolDiscardPendingEvent command discards an event that has been received but that has not been forwarded.
Area-scan firmware variants provide 2 instances of the C2C tool; line-scan firmware variants provide 3 instances!
