Subnet Considerations
To configure the NI 1450, it must reside on the same subnet as the
development computer. Once the NI 1450 is configured, other subnets can
access and use it.
To use the NI 1450 on a subnet other than the one the development
computer is on, first connect and configure it on the same subnet as the
development computer. Next, physically move it to the other subnet and
reassign an IP address. Contact your network administrator for assistance
in setting up the development computer and NI 1450 on the same subnet.
Hardware Setup
This section describes how to connect the basic hardware components of
the NI 1450. When these basic components are connected for the first time,
the NI 1450 runs a program that acquires images. This program verifies that
all hardware components are properly connected and functioning.
The following items are necessary for hardware setup.
❑ NI 1450 Series Compact Vision System
❑ 24 VDC ±10%, 50 W power supply
❑ DCAM-compatible IEEE 1394 camera
❑ IEEE 1394 cable
❑ Ethernet cable
❑ Monitor
Connecting a Camera and Monitor to the NI 1450
Before connecting a camera and monitor to the NI 1450, make sure that all
NI 1450 DIP switches are in the OFF position.
To connect an IEEE 1394 camera and a monitor to the NI 1450, refer to
Figure 2-2 while completing the following steps:
1. Connect the VGA cable from the monitor to the VGA port on the
NI 1450.
2. Plug the IEEE 1394 cable into one of the IEEE 1394a ports on the
NI 1450. Plug the other end of the cable into the IEEE 1394 receptacle
on the camera.
