The CS400 system software offers multiple triggering options. A trigger input is necessary to calculate an RPM value and synchronize the image to the rotation.


Having multiple triggering options provides a significant increase in flexibility when defining a system installation and BOM.


All items, except 1 avoid the need to connect the trigger cable to the linescanner. 


This avoids additional cabling (alarm/trigger cable) as only power and network connections are necessary.


Note: Removing the alarm/trigger cable from the installation also removes access to the backup (pc independent) alarm relay. 


Recommendations using existing kiln trigger:

Options 1-3 require a 24V pulse (direct or via a relay).




1. Trigger signal via scanner (classic and legacy method). No additional hardware required.



2. Via TSM module. via RS485/Serial Server (without  passing through to the scanner trigger input). Add TSM module (in cabinet) XXXTCSLRMMCONNBOX  and Serial ethernet converter A-CS-CONV-ETH485



3. Via Wago I/O accessory (via ethernet connection). Wago field coupler (BASIC KIT) and 750-1406 input module. Add Wago Basic Kit A-IO-BASICKIT and digital input module A-IO-16DI





 4. Fixed value. Via Multitimer-IO in CS400 software configuration. Value is time for 1 rotation. Example 15=4rpm:
