1-1 Safety Precautions
1) Before returning an instrument to the customer,always make a safety check of the entire instrument,including, but not limited to, the following items:
(1) Be sure that no built-in protective devices aredefective or have been defeated during servicing.(1)Protective shields are provided to protect boththe technician and the customer. Correctly replaceall missing protective shields, including anyremoved for servicing convenience. (2)When reinstalling the chassis and/or other as-sembly in the cabinet, be sure to put back in placeall protective devices, including, but not limited to,nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish papers,adjustment and compartment covers/shields, andisolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not oper-ate this instrument or permit it to be operated with-out all protective devices correctly installed andfunctioning.
(2) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings throughwhich adults or children might be able to inserttheir fingers and contact a hazardous voltage. Suchopenings include, but are not limited to, excessive-ly wide cabinet ventilation slots, and an improper-ly fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet backcover.
(3) Leakage Current Hot Check-With the instrumentcompletely reassembled, plug the AC line corddirectly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an iso-lation transformer during this test.) Use a leakagecurrent tester or a metering system that complieswith American National Standards institute (ANSI)C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances andUnderwriters Laboratories (UL) 1270 (40.7). Withthe instrument’s AC switch first in the ON positionand then in the OFF position, measure from aknown earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit,etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the instrument(antennas, handle brackets, metal cabinets, screw-heads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), espe-cially any exposed metal parts that offer an electri-cal return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the out-let and repeat the test. See Fig. 1-1.
Any measurements not within the limits specifiedherein indicate a potential shock hazard that mustbe eliminated before returning the instrument tothe customer.
Fig. 1-1 AC Leakage Test
(4) Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplugthe power supply cord and connect a jumper wirebetween the two prongs of the plug. (2) Turn on thepower switch of the instrument. (3) Measure theresistance with an ohmmeter between thejumpered AC plug and all exposed metallic cabinetparts on the instrument, such as screwheads,antenna, control shafts, handle brackets, etc. Whenan exposed metallic part has a return path to thechassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2megohm. When there is no return path to the chas-sis, the reading must be infinite. If the reading isnot within the limits specified, there is the possibil-ity of a shock hazard, and the instrument must berepaired and rechecked before it is returned to thecustomer. See Fig. 1-2.

2) Read and comply with all caution and safety re-lated notes on or inside the cabinet, or on the chas-sis.
3) Design Alteration Warning-Do not alter or add tothe mechanical or electrical design of this instru-ment. Design alterations and additions, includingbut not limited to, circuit modifications and theaddition of items such as auxiliary audio outputconnections, might alter the safety characteristics ofthis instrument and create a hazard to the user. Anydesign alterations or additions will make you, theservicer, responsible for personal injury or propertydamage resulting therefrom.
4) Observe original lead dress. Take extra care toassure correct lead dress in the following areas:(1) near sharp edges, (2) near thermally hot parts (besure that leads and components do not touch ther-mally hot parts), (3) the AC supply, (4) high voltage,and (5) antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areasfor pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring, Do notchange spacing between a component and theprinted-circuit board. Check the AC power cord fordamage.
5) Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear tohave overheated or that are otherwise damagedshould be replaced with components, parts and/ orwiring that meet original specifications. Additionally, determine the cause of overheatingand/or damage and, if necessary, take correctiveaction to remove any potential safety hazard.
6) Product Safety Notice-Some electrical and mechani-cal parts have special safety-related characteristicswhich are often not evident from visual inspection,nor can the protection they give necessarily beobtained by replacing them with components ratedfor higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have spe-cial safety characteristics are identified by shading,an ( )or a ( )on schematics and parts lists. Useof a substitute replacement that does not have thesame safety characteristics as the recommendedreplacement part might create shock, fire and/orother hazards. Product safety is under review con-tinuously and new instructions are issued whenev-er appropriate.

1-2 Servicing Precautions
CAUTION : Before servicing units covered by thisservice manual and its supplements, read and followthe Safety Precautions section of this manual.
Note : If unforseen circumstances create conflictbetween the following servicing precautions and anyof the safety precautions, always follow the safety pre-cautions. Remember: Safety First.
1-2-1 General Servicing Precautions
(1) a. Always unplug the instrument’s AC power cordfrom the AC power source before (1) re-movingor reinstalling any component, circuit board,module or any other instrument assembly, (2)disconnecting any instrument electrical plug orother electrical connection, (3) connecting a testsubstitute in parallel with an electrolytic capaci-tor in the instrument.
b. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage inter-locks with which instruments covered by thisservice manual might be equipped.
c. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless allsolid-state device heat sinks are correctly in-stalled.
d. Always connect a test instrument’s ground leadto the instrument chassis ground before connect-ing the test instrument positive lead. Alwaysremove the test instrument ground lead last.
Note : Refer to the Safety Precautions section groundlead last.
(2) The service precautions are indicated or printed onthe cabinet, chassis or components. When servic-ing, follow the printed or indicated service precau-tions and service materials.
(3) The components used in the unit have a specifiedflame resistance and dielectric strength.When replacing components, use componentswhich have the same ratings. Components identi-fied by shading, by( ) or by ( ) in the circuit dia-gram are important for safety or for the characteris-tics of the unit. Always replace them with the exactreplacement components.
(4) An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used andsome components are raised above the printedwiring board for safety. The internal wiring issometimes clamped to prevent contact with heat-ing components. Install such elements as theywere.
(5) After servicing, always check that the removedscrews, components, and wiring have been in-stalled correctly and that the portion around theserviced part has not been damaged and so on.Further, check the insulation between the blades ofthe attachment plug and accessible conductiveparts.
1-2-2 Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outletand turn the power ON. Connect the insulation resi-stance meter (500V) to the blades of the attachmentplug. The insulation resistance between each blade ofthe attachment plug and accessible conductiveparts(see note) should be more than 1 Megohm.
Note : Accessible conductive parts include metal pan-els, input terminals, earphone jacks, etc.

1-3 ESD Precautions
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be dam-aged easily by static electricity.Such components commonly are called Electrostati-cally Sensitive Devices(ESD). Examples of typical ESDdevices are integrated circuits and some field-effecttransistors and semiconductor chip components. Thefollowing techniques should be used to help reducethe incidence of component damage caused by staticelectricity.
(1) Immediately before handling any semiconductorcomponent or semiconductor-equipped assembly,drain off any electrostatic charge on your body bytouching a known earth ground. Alternatively,obtain and wear a commercially available dis-charging wrist strap device, which should beremoved for potential shock reasons prior to apply-ing power to the unit under test.
(2) After removing an electrical assembly equippedwith ESD devices, place the assembly on a conduc-tive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent elec-trostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assem-bly.
(3) Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder orunsolder ESD devices.
(4) Use only an anti-static solder removal devices.Some solder removal devices not classified as“anti-static” can generate electrical charges suffi-cient to damage ESD devices.
(5) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These cangenerate electrical charges sufficient to damageESD devices.
(6) Do not remove a replacement ESD device from itsprotective package until immediately before yourare ready to install it.(Most replacement ESDdevices are packaged with leads electrically short-ed together by conductive foam, aluminum foil orcomparable conductive materials).
(7) Immediately before removing the protective ma-terials from the leads of a replacement ESD device,touch the protective material to the chassis or cir-cuit assembly into which the device will beinstalled.
CAUTION : Be sure no power is applied to the ch-assis or circuit, and observe all other safety precau-tions.
(8) Minimize bodily motions when handling unpack-aged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harm-less motion such as the brushing together of yourclothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a car-peted floor can generate static electricity sufficientto damage an ESD device).
Precautions
Samsung Electronics 1-5
1-4 Handling the optical pick-up
The laser diode in the optical pick up may suffer elec-trostatic breakdown because of potential static elec-tricity from clothing and your body.
The following method is recommended.(1) Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (The
black sheet used for wrapping repair parts.)
(2) Place the set on the conductive sheet so that thechassis is grounded to the sheet.
(3) Place your hands on the conductive sheet(Thisgives them the same ground as the sheet.)
(4) Remove the optical pick up block
(5) Perform work on top of the conductive sheet. Becareful not to let your clothes or any other staticsources to touch the unit.
◆ Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to thesheet.
◆ Be sure to lay a conductive sheet made of copperetc. Which is grounded to the table.
Fig.1-3
(6) Short the short terminal on the PCB, which is in-side the Pick-Up ASS’Y, before replacing the Pick-Up. (The short terminal is shorted when the Pick-Up Ass’y is being lifted or moved.)
(7) After replacing the Pick-up, open the short termi-nal on the PCB.

Recording
Unrecordable videoVideo with copy protection cannot be recorded on thisDVD Recorder. When the DVD Recorder receives a copyguard signal while recording, recording stops and thefollowing message appears on the screen.
Concerning Copy Control Signals
TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals mayhave one of the following three signal types, COPY-Free,Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record acopy-once type program, use DVD-RW with CPRM inVR Mode and DVD-RAM.
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, recording cannotbe done anymore.
- Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the mediaon which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVDrecorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blankrecordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched inthe BCA. When protected content is recorded onto thedisc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria)cipher derived from the media ID.During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and usedto generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, theID will be absent or wrong and the data will not bedecryptable.
Recording FormatsSince available functions differ depending on the disc type,select a disc that best fits your preferences; When youinsert an unused disc, the following message appearsDVD-RAM: Use after formatting the disc.
DVD-RW: When a blank disc is first inserted, the message “Do you want to initialize this disc?” will appear. When Yes is selected, the disc will beformatted in VR Mode.
If you want to format in either VR Mode or Video Mode, refer to Formatting a Disc on page 80.
DVD-R: Formatting DVD is unnecessary and only Video Mode Recording is supported
DVD-RW(Video mode)/-R
● Chapters will be created automatically when youfinalize recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Videomode with the Chapter Creator has been set to On.The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)varies according to the recording mode.
● Simple editing (erasing titles/changing title name)
DVD-RW(VR mode)/-RAM
● This mode allows multiple editing functions (such asdeletion of the whole title, partial deletion of a title, etc.)
● Various editing options using a created Playlist
Recording ModeSelect one of four recording modes by pressing the RECMODE button repeatedly while the unit is in Stop modefor the desired recording time and picture quality.

When one playlist is played, only the scene selectedby the user will play and then stop. Since only theinformation necessary for playing a desired scene isincluded in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted,the original stream will not be deleted.

1) Prevent residual high voltage at the terminals of switch during switch off/Suppress noise.High inverted power occurs at switch off, because of the 1st winding of transformer : (V=-L1 xdi/dt. L1 : Leakage Induction)A very high residual voltage exist on both terminals of PQQX1 because dt is a very short.
2) SNUBBER circuit protects PQQX1 from damage through leakage voltage suppression by RC, (Charges the leakage voltage to PSDZ1 and PSCX1 and discharges to PSRZ1, PSRZ2).

1) SPARC ProcessorsTwo 32-bit SPARC processors, one dedicated to video processing and the other assigned general system tasksand audio processing, perform three classes of functions: system processing, audio processing, and high-levelcontrol flow and decision-making tasks for video processing. Optionally, they can also perform 2D graphicsand host functions.The DMN8602 also support multiple video inputs, windowed video ad graphics with arbitrarily relocatable and resizable windows, letterbox, and side-by-side display of SD sources.
2) Host InterfaceThe host communication functions include initializing the DMN-8602 device, downloading software to the local SDRAM, sending commands, monitoring status, and downloading graphics data such as OSD bitmap.
Circuit Operating Descriptions
13-6 Samsung Electronics
3) Bitstream/Storage interface◆ ATAPI Controller
ATAPI is an asynchronous, 120ns, 16-bit word interface commonly used to connect devices such as hard disks, CD/DVD ROMs, and DVD RAMs. All operations are initiated by reading/writing a set of ATAPI device registers through programmed input/output(PIO) data transfer. ATAPI has DMA commands for transferring long data. The ATAPI register address is defined by the output pins CS0, CS1, DA[2:0].
◆ The IEEE1394 interface can receive MPEG-2 transport stream or DV stream data contained in isochronous packets (IPs). The DMN-8602 device filters the packets by matching channel IDs. In the case of MPEG-2 transport streams, the DMN-8602 device performs descrambling on the data that is scrambled with 5C encryption. Software is responsible for transport section processing and demultiplexing.
4) Video Interface◆ Video Input channel
The video input channel captures ITU-R BT.656-compliant 10-bit digital YUV component video stream from Video decoder chip(TIC1)
◆ Video Digital Encoder (DENC)The NTSC/PAL digital video encoder (DENC) module converts a digital video data stream into NTSC or PAL composite or component video output. The DMN-8602 DENC output can be in one of the following formats:
•Baseband composite NTSC (M) or PAL (B,D,G,H,I) analog video.•Separate analog luma(Y) and chroma(C) output to support S-Video.•Separate analog component video RGB or SMPTE YPbPr output.
5) Audio InterfaceThe serial audio input port receives uncompressed 16- to 24-bit serial digital audio data from external audio ADC(AIC9). An internally generated clock provides bit serial clocking of the data coming from external ADC The serial audio output port sends uncompressed 16- to 24-bit serial digital audio data to external audio DAC(AIC1). An internally generated clock provides bit serial clocking of the data coming from external ADC
6) Serial I/O interface◆ SPI interface
The SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) port provides a bus for a serial interface with front panel micom(FIC1) ◆ IDC interface
The IDC bus is a simple, two-wire, bidirectional communication bus. The two signals, clock and data, are com mon to every device connected to the bus.In this system, IDC bus is connected to EEPROM(DIC8) and Video Decoder(TIC1)

13-5-3 Amplifier (MM1623)
VIC1 is 6dB amplifier.Based on CVBS signal, the final output level must be 2Vpp without 75ohm terminal resistance.Because the level of video encoder output is only 1Vpp, the level is adjusted with the special amplifier.When mute of pin 3 is high active, if the pin is floating and connect to power, the output signal is never out putted.CVBS, Y, C, Y(R), Cb(B), Cr(R) outputted from video encoder are inputted to VIC1 [Pin4, 6, 2, 10, 12, 14] respec tively. The signal to which gain is adjusted by amplifier is outputted from jack via 75ohm Resistance(VR30,31,32,33,34,60).

Since there are many different interfaces avai lable, for exam ple, RS 422, RS 644, and USB, visionsys tem integ rators are very likely to be confused when choos ing the right interf ace for theirappl icat ion. For the ideal design of a vision syste m, it is vital to have the righ t bus/ inte rface. Tomake things even more complex, ther e is no easy answer such as �IEEE-139 4 is the best choice.�Furthe rmore, the new CameraL ink standa rd, promoted by compan ies such as Puln ix, Basler AG,and many frame grabb er compani es, seems to be the stat e of the art interf ace. So why shou ldIEEE-1394 be an alternative?
Thes e ques tions are as complex as most vision applicatio ns and the re is no simple guide line .Each of these interfaces offers many benefits and each of them has its individual drawbacks andres tric tions. In the tab le below, we try to give a brief comparison of the most popula r interfac esyste ms.
[1] These specs are for a typical 8-bit camera application operating at 20 MHz or at 40 MHz.
[2] 80% of the bus bandwidth is used for image data and 20% is used for parameter data.
16 wires are used for data bit transfer and two wires each are used for the separate Line Valid, Frame Valid, andPixel Clock signals required with RS-644 transmission.

A careful comparison of the specifications shown in the table shou ld be your first selection guidefor the interf ace. For exam ple, for an integ rator who needs very high speed, USB 2 and IEE E-1394 are not the first choice. On the other hand, these buses are the ones to select in caseswhere mul tiple cameras are needed or cos t is a critical issue. Also, the user needs to be awarethat the D-Cam specification curre ntly does not speci fical ly support Line Scan cameras.However, the spec ification is open and line scan suppor t could be achieved via Format 7. Asfor USB 2, it is still in its infan cy in machin e vision and we are not aware of any kind of machi nevision suppor t.
Many image processing applicatio n engineers face a familia r group of problems when des igningand build ing a syste m. The end user requi res system flexib ility, simple adaptation, fast delive rytimes, and most impo rtantl y a reasonable price. With conve ntional syste ms, wheth er analo g ordig ital , eng ineers must confine them selv es to certain combina tions of the existing cameras, framegrabbers, and software. The product choi ce for this syste m configura tion is limite d. Unle ss thedecision is made to use a high cost frame grab ber that supports multiple cameras, sometimesknow n as multi-norm , it is usu ally not possible to operate cameras with differen t reso lutio ns fromthe same frame grabbe r.
For many applicatio ns, the introductio n of dig ital cam eras is hindered by the cost specified by theend custom er, howe ver technica lly effective dig ital cameras may be. With the increa sed use ofIEEE-1394 in the industrial imag e processing business , many of these problems are solvable in asure , safe , and cost effec tive way.
This example compares two simi lar vis ion systems. Each system uses four Megapix el reso lutiondig ital cameras . The traditio na l solu tion consists of one frame grabber per camera, one paralleldig ital data cable per camera, and one power supply per camera.
The 1394 solution requi res one hub and one interface card to connect the fou r cameras , alongwith five inexpensive 1394 cables. The 1394 cable s carry power to the cameras directly from thecom puter �s inter na l power supply. (Note tha t not al l com pute rs are capab le of supplyi ng enoughpower for the cam eras. In som e cases a separate power supply may be required.)

Today, there are already applica tions realiz ing the benefits of IEEE-1 394 technology. Forexample, at one of our customer sites, Basle r was faced with a vision syste m which has thefollowing specificatio ns:
The machine is a high-speed ass embly sys tem . Two indepe ndent robots take differen t par ts(diffe ren t in size, shape, and ref lection) from a support unit and mount the se parts on a mountingplate. Timing is crucial, and in the worst case, a part must be taken from the tray every 100 ms.Accuracy of parts mounting is also critical (0.5 mm) . To have a vision system inspecti ng theseopera tions , 4 cameras (2 on each of the robots) are needed:
2 low resolu tion Basler A302f cameras (640 x 480) for checking if the mounting plate is inplace
2 high-resolut ion Basler A101f cameras (13 00 x 1030) for checking the components to bemounted.
Since most of the parts are differen t, the two A101f cameras must be reconfigured befor e alm ostevery image acquisit ion. In the worst case, the AO I, shutter, and som etim es gain need to beadjusted.
The custom er used ana log cameras with CCIR resolution (768 x 582) only. This drast icallyres tric ted the number of parts which could be moun ted using the robots. Since thes e cam eras hadno communication por t for configu rat ion, ad justing the AOI was not possible and differ ences inreflection of the parts needed to be adjusted for by driv ing a flash circuit. All cameras wereinterfaced into one frame grabber (one PC) .
Using RS 644 or CameraLink based cameras, the customer would need one fram e grab ber foreach camer a. It is very likely that the user would need two PCs (one for each robot). Changing thecam era-c onfig ura tion �on the fly�would require adv ance d grabber cards since simple grabb ersare not capab le of easily changing their regist ers for differe nt AO Is.
All cameras are attached to a sing le interface card in the PC. The Basler A302f is only used whena new mounting plate is pos itione d by the handler. In norm al opera tion , on ly the two Basler A101fcam eras will be sending data at the same time and they will be operat ing at about 10 FPS. Thisresults in a data rate of about 27 MBytes/s, which is well within the specification for IEEE-1394.
Since IEEE-1394 supports bi-directional communication between the came ra and the PC, beforeeach frame capture , the PC can easily change resolution, gain , offs et, shutte r spee d, or whateveris require d.
