1Handling and Safety Instructions

Depending on the operating conditions, the housing temperature can exceed 60 °C.

There is a risk of injury!

Handle with care! The housing, especially heat sinks can have sharp edges. There is

a risk of injury!

EMC conformity according to EN/IEC 61000-6-2:2005 is qualified for cable lengths ≤

30 m.

Electrostatic discharge at unshielded I/O connectors can lead to unexpected events

or data errors for the corresponding interface.

Electrical installation should be executed without power applied to the device and

connected devices.

Only open if advised by IMAGO!

Warranty void if warranty seal is removed or broken.

Please take special note of the voltage range which may be applied to the device.

Otherwise, permanent damage to the device may result!

Air Circulation

When mounting the device within an enclosure, adequate space for air circulation

is required. The space above, below and at both sides should be at least 5 cm.

Avoid extreme environmental conditions and protect the device from dust, hu-

midity and heat.

Due to the characteristics and physical principles inside flash memory, SSDs have a

finite lifetime dictated by the number of write operations. Therefore, take care of

the regular write operations to prevent an early SSD damage. Ask for the technical

data of the used SSD and, if necessary, for support to calculate the lifetime. Inform

the user of the system that SSDs are wear parts which must be renewed regularly.

2Introduction

The heart of the VisionBox AI is the powerful NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. It comes with up to 12 Arm cores

and 2048 CUDA cores. We deliver the VisionBox with an Ubuntu based Linux OS, which gives the customer

the ability to use the popular Linux programs, libraries and development tools.

The VisionBox AI provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Camera Link interface. Two Camera Link con-

nectors can be used with two cameras in Base configuration, or one camera in Medium, Full or Deca con-

figuration.

The integrated Real-Time Communication Controller (RTCC) ensures proper timing for trigger signals, inde-

pendently from the operating system. The IMAGO SDK provides a consistent C++ programming interface

for controlling the RTCC.

Due to its small size, powered by 24VDC and without fan, the VisionBox can be mounted into nearly every

machine. All components are available for several years for continuous delivery without changes. For se-

ries production, IMAGO delivers the VisionBox ready-to-run, including a customer-specific Linux root

filesystem, qualified 3rd-party components and acceptance test. A PREEMPT_RT kernel is also available.

Note: The maximum allowed temperature is influenced by the actual hardware configuration, the system

workload, and the mounting situation. The temperature range should be verified for each applica-

tion.

The actual power draw heavily depends on the application. Power supply and cooling requirements should be eval-

uated by the user.
