Introducing Lock Lab

Lock Lab is a connectivity device from Vicon, offering a cost-effective and silent solution for providing synchronization and analog to your Vicon Vero and Vicon Vantage systems (Vicon Bonita and MX T-Series systems are also supported). Lock Lab features:

• Support of VESA standards
• Connection to third-party analog devices
• Remotely triggered start and stop
• General Purpose Input and Output (GPIO) sockets for synchronizing external devices.

Connections (rear)

1. Analog inputs:
2. 8 x connectors, 64 channels
3. Link input/output (I/O)
4. PoE
5. Earthing (grounding) point
6. VESA sync input
7. Remote Control input start and stop
8. GPO sync outputs (x8)

Connection details

The rear panel contains these sockets for capture and synchronization (from left to right of the unit):

1. Analog inputs. Require the supplied Weidmüller connectors, with total analog sample rate of 192 KHz. Lets you connect supported third party analog devices. For instructions on using the connectors, see Connecting analog devices to Lock Lab.
   Lock Lab provides 64 channels for generating 16- bit offset binary conversions from analog sources. The input impedance is 1 MΩ. The data sampling frequency is common to all channels; you can set the sampling rate to be a multiple of the camera base rate up to 192,000 samples/second (192 KHz).
   The capture frequency you can specify depends on the total number of channels to be sampled, as shown in this table.

2. Link I/O. Provided for Lock-to-Lock synchronization. Also provides Lock Lab-to-Gigantean synchronization. Connect to Vicon equipment only.
3. PoE (conforms to IEEE 802.3af). Requires connection to a Gigabit (Ethernet 1000BASE-T) PoE switch. Use only the supplied cable. Earthling point. Always ground the Lock Lab using this dedicated earthling point.
4. VESA sync input. 3-pin mini DIN socket. Current Vicon software supports 100Hz and 120Hz. After it is locked, Lock Lab can be phased with respect to this input signal in increments of 18 nS through a whole frame period.
5. Remote Control input start and stop. RCA phonon sockets for connecting a remote third-party device that triggers the Vicon camera system to capture data based on input signals. Start and stop are activated on next frame boundary. Requires connection to GND (ground).
6. Eight standard programmable phono (RCA) sockets for synchronizing external devices using General Purpose Output (GPO) signals. To manage the synchronization of your external devices, or to trigger your external devices based on Vicon system events, identify an appropriate GPO configuration file supplied with your Vicon software or create your own GPO file (for details, see the Vicon Vantage Reference Guide). In your Vicon software, specify this GPO configuration file for your external device.

Connecting analog devices to Lock Lab

The Weidmüller connectors enable you to connect third party devices for capturing analog data, such as force plates and accelerometers to a Lock Lab.

When inserting flexible wire cables into a connector or extracting them from a connector, use a slotted screwdriver as shown in the illustration (right).

If your cables are rigid (solid wire or ferrule), you do not need to use a screwdriver and can push the ends of the cables into the required connector

Pin assignment

The following illustration shows the pin assignment of the Weidmüller connectors.

Note that the pins shown in the illustration (left) are assigned as follows:

Pins 1–8 (top row): Ground

Pins 9–16 (bottom row): Signal inputs

In this diagram, the bottom of the image represents the wire side of the connector.

Tip: For each socket, the duplicate pin numbers do not correlate with the analog channel input. That is, on connector one (leftmost), pin 9 is channel 1, pin 16 is channel 8. On connector four (rightmost), pin 9 is channel 25, pin 16 is channel 32.

Lock Lab safety information

The following guidance helps you to ensure the safe operation of your Vicon system, including the use of Lock Lab.

To avoid introducing a safety hazard and possibly damaging the system, please ensure that an adequate and good-quality alternating current (AC) power source is available.
For guidance, see the ratings statement on the rear of the connected PoE or PoE+ unit. Also ensure that any computers and peripheral devices are set to be electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

When working with Vicon systems, observe these safety precautions:

• To prevent electric shock, plug all system components into properly grounded power sources. These cables must be equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.

• Ensure nothing rests on the system cables and that cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not spill food or liquids onto any electrical component of the system. If any component gets wet, immediately contact Vicon Motion Systems or your nearest agent or distributor for advice.

• Do not push any objects into the slots of any unit of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out internal components.

• Keep all system components away from radiators and heat sources, and do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath any components.
  Do not place any components on closed-in units or on a bed, chair, etc.

• Replace fuses with the same type and rating for continued fire protection.

• Do not use outside, near water, in an environment exposed to anesthetic or other explosive gases, or in mobile applications.

Warranty information

The warranty for your Vicon system begins after installation. For full details on warranty scope and conditions, refer to the Vicon Terms and Conditions of Supply for your Vicon system.
