VIU1: Communication & Supply
Gbit-Ethernet
This chapter provides information about the Ethernet interface and its chipset.
Overview
The Ethernet interface is integrated into the camera via an M12-X-Coded connector and allows the camera to be connected to the target network. The evoVIU features the integrated Qualcomm Atheros AR8033 Ethernet transceiver. The IEEE 802.3az standard is supported. The camera can therefore communicate at transfer speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps.

Supply & Docker
This chapter provides information about the supply and allocation of the various Docker modules.
Overview
The camera is powered via the middle connector. The connector is an M12 industrial connector, whose pin assignment depends on the hardware variant.
The evoVIU hardware offers the option of using various docker interfaces. Docker refers to the interface to another interface, transmission protocol, or external circuitry. In this regard, evoVIU also offers customers the option of requesting their own docker in the portfolio area, for example, to respond to specific system configurations.
The camera may only be connected by a qualified electronics technician.
Docker-A: IO-Link
// Docker A: IO-Link | M12 – 5pol A-codiert
In addition to the hardware trigger, the Docker-A also includes a preparatory implementation of IO-Link integration and is designed to enable the camera to be integrated into modern industrial environments in a process-oriented manner. IO-Link can be used later on to communicate the results generated by image processing and to configure the settings on the part of the system.
An important aspect here is the IODD file, which takes over the device description of the camera for the IO-Link master or the IO-Link master module. In this context, the camera operates as a slave. Port 5 can also be used as an additional trigger.

Docker-B: External Light
// Docker B: External Light | M12 – 5pol – A-codiert
The Docker B allows two loads of different heights to be controlled via Digital OUT 1/2. This means, for example, that two lights with up to 50W can be supplied and adjusted via VISIONWEB and VISIONAPI. Digital result transmission can also be enabled with this.

Docker-C: GPIO
// Docker C: GPIO | M12 -12pol – A-codiert
The Docker C includes comprehensive GPIO control of the camera results as digital input and output. The digital outputs can forward the results to the end points, while the inputs can be used for triggering or program settings. Pins 09-12 can still output or accept analog values from 0-10V or 4-20mA. With this Docker, the evoVIU can be integrated into older device groups or systems and provide simple information for image processing, control light modules via VISIONWEB and VISIONAPI, or adjust brightness.

Converting Wi-Fi to mobile
Application with mobile communication
Mobile communication is not yet possible at this time. We will inform you when a software update is available.
The following activity may only be performed by a trained specialist. Evopro accepts no liability for any damage incurred.
Shut down the evoVIU Smart Camera via the application.
Switch off the camera's power supply.
Unscrew the rear plate of the camera.
When dismantling, make sure that the thermal paste does not pull the SOM module down with it.
The SMA antenna is plugged into the u.FL connector of the SOM module. Carefully unplug it and plug it back into the u.FL connector of the docker.
Check that the thermal paste is still in the correct position on the cover plate.
Check that the u.FL cable does not cause a short circuit with other electronic components.
Insert the nanoSIM into the SIM slot of the docker.
Screw the cover plate back on.
Smooth transition from Wi-Fi to mobile
If you can access the camera interface, you have done everything correctly.
If you cannot access the application, please check the above steps again. If the camera switches off after a short time, please check that the thermal paste is in the correct position.
