GigE Vision®

GenICam™

The GigE Vision standard is an interface standard for digital machine vision cameras administered by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA) that is widely supported in the machine vision industry. In contrast, Gigabit Ethernet is the network GigE Vision is built upon.

GenICam is a machine vision standard hosted by the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA). The aim of GenICam is to provide a generic configuration interface for cameras and devices independent of the used interface technology (i.e., GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, DCAM IEEE 1394, Camera Link). This approach enables proper interoperability between GenICam compliant hardware and software solutions without the need for customization.

The GenICam standard consists of multiple modules that specify tasks to be solved. Allied Vision cameras and software make use of these modules, like the Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) that standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images.

Installation and hardware

This chapter describes the components required for your vision system including configuring the host computer, Ethernet adapter settings, and connecting your Prosilica GT camera.

Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.9.0 20

Page 21

Configuring the host computer

Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet adapters. In order to reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet adapter with jumbo packet support is required.

If your host computer has an available Ethernet interface, this can be used with Allied Vision GigE cameras. We recommend that your camera system uses a dedicated Ethernet interface not shared with Internet or local area networks. If more interfaces are needed, or your existing Ethernet adapter is unable to operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, installing additional hardware may be required.

Usage on mixed-use networks (with printers, Internet/email, etc.) is possible but may impact camera performance (e.g., framerate). Check with your IT administrator if required for network configuration.

Installing the Ethernet adapter driver

Installation and hardware

Install the network card driver from your network card manufacturer. If no installation application is provided, update the driver manually.

To update the driver manually

1. Click the Start icon and select Control Panel in the menu.

2. Click View by Large Icons and select Device Manager in the list.

3. Under Network Adapters, locate the Ethernet network adapter, right-click the entry, and select Update Driver Software in the menu.

4. Select the Search automatically for updated driver software or Browse my computer for driver software.

5. Click Close once the driver has been installed.

Optional: Modifying Ethernet adapter IP address

After initial Ethernet adapter hardware installation, connect the Ethernet adapter directly to the camera. The default configuration assigns an IP address automatically using the Link-Local Address range of 169.254.xxx.xxx or an address defined by the DHCP server, if present.

Users can fix the adapter address to minimize the time required for a camera to be recognized by the host application. Systems that employ multiple Ethernet adapters connected to multiple cameras will also be required to fix the address of the Ethernet adapter.

To connect to the camera, edit the host PC’s adapter settings and configure the following settings:

• IP Address: 169.254.100.1

• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

• Default gateway: blank

Installation and hardware

Enabling jumbo packets

Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packets

The properties listed for the network adapter may include either Jumbo Packet or Jumbo Frames depending on the manufacturer. If neither is listed under

properties, your network card may not support this feature. You must use a network adapter that supports Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packets.

To enable jumbo packets

1. Click the Start icon and select Control Panel in the menu.

2. Click View by Large Icons and select Device Manager in the list.

3. Under Network Adapters, locate the Ethernet network adapter, right-click the entry, and select Properties in the menu.

4. Select the Advanced tab.

5. Select the property Jumbo Packet and set the value to 9014 Bytes.

6. Click OK to save the setting.

Connecting your camera

Use a Category 6 or higher rated Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the host adapter. Crossover cabling is not required but does work. The camera has circuitry to determine if a crossover cable is being used.

Allied Vision recommends Category 6 (Cat 6) or higher rated Ethernet cables. A different rating may not sustain peak interface bandwidth; leading to lost connectivity or image data coming from the camera.

Notes on specifications

Dimensions and mass

Dimensions include connectors but not the tripod and lens.

Mass does not include the tripod and lens.

Lens support for heavy lens load

Many of the lens mount styles available such as M42, F, EF-Mount are not designed for high vibration environments with a heavy lens load. Allied Vision recommends supporting the lens externally in these environments.

Modular options

Prosilica GT and GT Large Format cameras can be ordered with several modular options including lens mount, optical filter, and sensor options. For more information, see the Modular Concept at https://www.alliedvision.com/en/

support/technical-documentation.html.

Specifications

Maximum power via PoE

The maximum power supplied via PoE is 13 W. EF lens power requirements will vary from lens to lens; however, typical ratings are in the 3 to 4 W range.

Should your lens plus camera power requirements exceed 13 W, it will be necessary to power the camera via Hirose I/O port.

Mono8

Prosilica GT color models include the Mono8 monochrome pixel format in addition to color and RAW formats.

Monochrome and NIR models

As monochrome and NIR models do not have an optical filter always attach a dust cap when a lens is not attached to minimize the possibility of contaminants falling on the sensor surface.

ON Semi sensor change

Prosilica GT color models with ON Semi sensors now use sensors with the new generation 2 CFA materials. For more information, see the Product Change Notification on the Allied Vision website.

Specifications

Frame memory

Normally, an image is captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the GigE network. Prosilica GT cameras are equipped with an image buffer. The memory operates according to the first in, first out (FIFO) principle. Specification tables show how many frames can be stored by each model.

Number of frames

The number of frames ( format, and GigE Vision Streaming Protocol (GVSP) packet size. The stated number of frames is typical for full resolution, Mono8/Bayer8, and a

GevSCPSPacketSize = 8192 bytes per packet.

Resolution and ROI frame rate

Resolution and ROI frame rate is listed after the specification table. The resulting frame rate from changing sensor height from full image to a single line. Unless otherwise noted, sensors do not give an increase in readout speed with a reduction in width. However, in cases where a camera is limited by frame rate due to bandwidth restrictions, a reduction in width will give a frame rate increase. Cameras with a “burst mode” frame rate are able to output more data than the maximum available bandwidth (124 MB/s), and will see a frame rate increase with a reduction in width.

Resolution and ROI measurements

• Data was generated using bandwidth), minimum exposure, full resolution, and an 8-bit pixel format. Frame rate may be lower if using network hardware incapable of 124 MB/s.

• For maximum speed advantage on quad-tap CCD sensors, ROIs are center image, where feature

•

readout. The frame rate for an ROI at the same effective height as binning is slower because the CCD still needs to read out the “fast readout rows” in ROI mode.

OffsetY = (full sensor height – ROI height)/2.

Frame rate and readout

Although the sensor is capable of higher frame rates, readout is limited by GigE bandwidth and exposure value. You can improve frame rates with a reduced region of interest and shorter exposure values.

Specifications

Sensor tap mode (CCD models only)

With four-tap sensor mode you can achieve a higher frame rate than with one-tap mode. With one-tap sensor mode, you can achieve an image certain to be free of any tap-boundary artifacts. You can also use one-tap mode if you experience tap imbalance issues with your camera. You can change the sensor digitization tap mode in Vimba Viewer 2.0 or later. Applicable to four-tap cameras as detailed in the specification tables.

Image acquisition must be stopped before changing sensor tap mode.

Affected features

This table lists features which are affected when switching from four-tap to one-tap sensor mode.

Absolute quantum efficiency plots

Important notice before reading the specifications tables

All measurements were done without protection glass or IR cut filter. With protection glass or filters, quantum efficiency (QE) decreases by approximately 10%.

The uncertainty in measurement of the QE values is 10.25%.

This is mainly due to uncertainties in the measuring apparatus itself (Ulbricht sphere, optometer, etc.).

Manufacturing tolerance of the sensor increases overall uncertainty.

Monochrome Sony CCD/CMOS sensors

The curve in the absolute QE plots shown in this chapter were calculated from a single measured quantum efficiency for monochrome sensors. The shape of the curve is from the sensor data sheet but the values have been adjusted based on this measured value.

29Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.9.0

Page 30

Specifications

Color Sony CCD/CMOS sensors

The curves in the absolute QE plots shown in this chapter were calculated from three measured quantum efficiency values for color sensors. The shape of the curves are from the sensor data sheet but the values have been adjusted based on these measured values.

ON Semi CCD/CMOS sensors

The curve in the absolute QE plots shown in this chapter is from the sensor manufacturer data sheet.

The information was correct at the time of publishing.

Wavelength

The wavelength range in the absolute QE plots reflects the information available in the sensor manufacturer data sheet at the time of publishing. Many color sensors are documented by the sensor manufacturer only for wavelengths from 400 nm to 700 nm.

For additional wavelength information, contact the sensor manufacturer.

Spectral response plots

For select models

The curves in the spectral response plots shown in this chapter were calculated from measured quantum efficiencies at 448 nm, 529 nm, and 632 nm. The shape of the curve is from the sensor data sheet but the values have been adjusted based on these measured values.
