Notes:

To ensure reliable communication using 1000 BaseT operation, the Ethernet cable must not exceed 100 meters.
To ensure reliable communication using 1000 BaseT operation, the Ethernet cable must not exceed 100 meters.
Maximum USB port speeds are listed. Actual speeds are dependent on the USB device, which are typically lower.
To ensure sufficient ventilation, the vision controller must be mounted with 50 mm of clearance above the vision controller and 50 mm of clearance on both sides. If an adjacent device also produces heat, additional space or cooling is required if air space around the vision controller exceeds 45 °C (113 °F).
DS925B and DS910B heads only.
