IB-0200
An interface module for up to 4 USB3.0 cameras.
Description
This module can be used in applications where USB3.0 is required and some input/output interfacing is necessary. The module has 4 USB3.0 standard-A ports and has an internal USB3.0 hub controller on the module which support following speed modes:
- Super Speed (SS) - 5 Gbps
- High Speed (HS) - 480 Mbps
- Full Speed (FS) - 12 Mbps
- Low Speed (LS) - 1.5 Mbps
This allows you to stream up to 4 cameras in high resolution and a high frame rate. All ports are backwards compatible with USB2.0.
The module has also 4 Digital Outputs (DO) and 4 Digital Inputs (DI). Both are 24VDC compatible and are optical isolated from the BLOX device. Those I/O can used to interface with a remote system such as a PLC system.
Block diagram
The above diagram shows the block diagram of the interface module. There are 3 main parts:
- USB3.0 Hub
- Digital Output circuits
- Digital Input circuits
The USB3.0 Hub is connected to the BLOX USB3.0 port. This way, the BLOX USB3.0 port is extended with 4 USB3.0 ports P1…P4.
The digital outputs and inputs are galvanic isolated from the BLOX. This allows you to use 2 different power supplies: one for the BLOX (24VDC) and the other for the I/O (24VDC I/O).
Connections
P1 to P4 port
The Px are the USB3.0 ports and compatible with the USB3.0 standard-A.
