If the input voltage exceeds 21.5 V, the vision system enables up to 1.5 A output to the USB Type C connector. If the external light connector is placed in external light mode, power is shunted from the power supply directly to the light through a bypass circuit that supports the high peak currents of strobe lights. A self-resettable fuse prevents physical overload of the 12-pin M12 connector.
If less than 21.5 V is provided to the device, the advertised USB Type C current is lowered to 500 mA, and the overall power budget is reduced. This may impact allowable internal illumination configurations. As a result, a 24 V industrial power supply capable of high pulse currents of long duration is recommended for optimal performance.
