2 MVS-8100D Hardware Description
Cognex MVS-8100D and CDC Cameras Hardware Manual 33
When connecting I/O devices with opto-isolation, use Cognex cable 300-0359, which
connects between the MVS-8100D and the Cognex external I/O module (P/N
800-5712-3). You connect your I/O devices to screw terminal connectors on the external
I/O module. Cable 300-0359 and the connection of opto-isolated devices is discussed
in Cable 300-0359 on page 36.
Pinout of Parallel I/O Connector
Parallel I/O devices are attached through the MVS-8100D’s HD-15M connector. The pin
numbering of this connector is shown in Figure 13.

Caution The MVS-8100D’s parallel I/O port resembles the industry standard
VGA connector, but is wired very differently. Do not connect a
monitor to this port, or you may damage your MVS-8100D, your
monitor, or both.
The pinout of the parallel I/O connector for the single camera MVS-8100D1 is shown in
Table 17.
The pinout of the parallel I/O connector for the MVS-8100D2 and MVS-8100D3 is shown
in Table 18.
