SUMMARY

The discussion centers on troubleshooting a Kingscan II Brinell hardness tester, which utilizes a Pulnix TM-7CN CCD camera. The camera has been modified with an additional light source and connected via a custom data cable to a PC. Users report inaccurate hardness readings, and the manufacturer, Kingtester, does not provide support for this older model. The community suggests obtaining the manual from Kingtester to understand the requirements for the serial and parallel data connections, which may necessitate creating a custom cable.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Brinell hardness testing principles
  • Familiarity with CCD camera technology, specifically Pulnix TM-7CN
  • Knowledge of serial and parallel data communication protocols
  • Basic skills in custom cable fabrication for data connections
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and wiring requirements for the Pulnix TM-7CN CCD camera
  • Learn about serial and parallel data connection standards and troubleshooting
  • Explore custom cable design techniques for data communication
  • Investigate alternative support resources for Kingscan II users
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for technicians and engineers working with Brinell hardness testers, particularly those dealing with older models like the Kingscan II, as well as anyone involved in modifying or troubleshooting CCD camera systems.

Hello my friends,
I have a problem with very old brinell hardness tester system called "kingscan II" by
kingtester.com this system contain a Pulnix TM-7CN ccd cam - the cam hacked by adding light source (8 leds), data cable (connect to the serical and parallel port - and viga card with video input plug) , and PC computer, the cam now read wrong values of hardness,
I get the cam datasheet and check it - its ok.
then the problem in hacked part that made by kingtester,but kingtester doesn't support any thing abut this version-kingscan II-.
dears how can I get any sheet about the data cable , or any help to solve this problem?
please help me , thank you very much.
