Auxiliary Power Input

Auxiliary power input requirements

The following table provides the 'worst case' auxiliary power consumption for each product:

The I/O power column specifies the maximum required input power dedicated to external I/O powering.
The Camera power column specifies the maximum required input power dedicated to camera powering. This number takes care of the power conversion efficiency.

PEG*: PEG connectors without SenseIN input!

Requirements for PEG connector

The network is fed by a 12 V external power supply attached to the auxiliary power input connector using a power cable terminated by a 6-pin PEG plug connector. A protection fuse inserted at the input side prevents potential fire hazards.

Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Units
Voltage 11.0 12.0 13.0 V

On the card side of the power cable, check carefully the voltage on each pin of the 6-pin PEG connector plug before insertion!

Requirements (MOLEX connector)

The network is fed by a 24 V external power supply attached to the auxiliary power input connector using a power cable terminated by a 4-pin MOLEX plug connector. A protection fuse inserted at the input side prevents potential fire hazards.

Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Units
Voltage 23 24 25 V

On the card side of the power cable, check carefully the voltage on each pin of the 4-pin Molex connector plug before insertion!

Monitoring the auxiliary power input

The AuxiliaryPower12VInput GenApi feature of the Interface module reports the status of the "12V Auxiliary Power Input" measured after the input fuse.

The AuxiliaryPowerInput GenApi feature of the Interface module reports the status of the auxiliary power input cable connection. This feature is only available for products having a PEG connector with a SenseIN input.

The SenseIN input of the PEG connector is used for power source cable presence detection. It should be grounded at the power supply level.
