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 (PCIe products)
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!

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.
