As illustrated in the figure below, connect the camera to the power supply and the industrial PC.
Connect to Power Supply
The figure above utilizes a DC power supply to provide power to the camera. Connect the Power Positive Wire and Power Ground Wire from the open end of the Power & Trigger cable to an external DC power supply, and connect the other end to the camera’s DC power connector. For descriptions of the wire sequence in the DC power cable, refer to the Product Specifications of the corresponding camera model .
The figure above shows a direct connection between the camera and the industrial host computer. Connect the RJ45 end of the Gigabit Ethernet cable to the network port of the industrial host computer, and connect the other end to the camera’s LAN network interface.
Connect the Percipio depth camera to a Windows PC with a USB cable. Right-click Start at the lower-left corner of the desktop, then click Device Manager. In Device Manager, you can find an unrecognized USB device named PERCIPIODEVICEEE, as shown below:
Right-click the device and select Update Driver. Based on the Windows version on your PC, select the driver under the “driver” path and follow the system prompts to complete installation.
For Linux users who use a USB camera, install the USB driver first.
Install USB Driver
sudoapt-getinstalllibusb-1.0-0-dev
Set USB Device Access Permissions
By default, Linux requires root permissions to access USB devices directly. Before accessing a Percipio USB camera, non-root users need to create udev rules and change USB device access permissions.
Follow these steps:
Create a rule file with the .rules extension in the “etc/udev/rules.d” directory (for example, 88-tyusb.rules).
Note
The rule file name must start with a number (0 to 99). A larger number means higher priority.
sudonano/etc/udev/rules.d/88-tyusb.rules
Add the following rules to the file. These rules add USB devices to the tofu group.
It is recommended to configure the host computer’s network port to use a dynamic IP address.
Open the “Control Panel” on the host computer, select “Network and Internet” > “Network and Sharing Center” > “Change Adapter Settings”.
Right click the current network connection, select “Properties” in the pop-up window.
Double click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” in the “Properties” window, and in the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties” dialog box that appears, select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”.
Before configuring the computer network, please first confirm the camera’s network connection method. For specific connection details, refer to Network Connection Methods. Then follow the steps below to configure the computer network.
Open the computer’s network settings. Navigate sequentially to “Settings” > “Network” > “Change Settings” > to access the detailed configuration of the current connection.
In the IPv4 tab, select “Link-Local Only”. If there are any previously configured manual IP settings, remove all manually entered IP addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and DNS servers.
Open the computer’s network settings. Navigate to “Settings” > “Network” > “Change Settings” > to access detailed configuration for the current connection.
In the IPv4 tab, select “Automatic (DHCP)”. If there are any previously configured manual IP settings, remove all manually entered IP addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and DNS servers.
The camera is configured with a dynamic IP address by default from the factory. This ensures that the camera is opened normally when the computer’s network port is configured to use a dynamic IP address.
If you need to set the camera to use a static IP address, refer to Set Camera IP Address.
If there is no icon next to the camera serial number, it means the camera cannot be connected currently. Click the serial number and check the status in the camera details to troubleshoot the connection issue.
