PLC I/O Cable
As with the standard I/O cable described in the previous section, the PLC I/O cable is a single cable
that connects to the camera’s I/O lines.
The PLC I/O cable adjusts the voltage levels of PLC devices to the voltage levels required by the
camera, and it protects the camera against negative voltage and reverse polarity.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
Note
We recommend using a PLC I/O cable if the camera is connected to a PLC
device.
You can use a PLC power and I/O cable when the camera is not connected to
a PLC device, if power for the I/O input is supplied with 24 VDC.
Basler offers PLC I/O cables with 3 m and 10 m lengths. Each cable is terminated with a 12-pin
Hirose plug (HR10A-10P-12S) on the end that connects to the camera. The other end is
unterminated. Contact your Basler sales representative to order the cables.
For information about the applicable voltage levels, see Section 5.7.1.1 on page 51.

IEEE 1394b Device Information
The camera uses an IEEE1394b - 2002 compliant physical layer device that can transmit at speeds
up to 800 Mbit/s (S800). The device is backward compatible with IEEE 1394a - 2000 devices.
Detailed spec sheets for IEEE 1394b - 2002 compliant physical layer devices of the type used in
the camera are available at the Texas Instruments website: www.ti.com.
