Network Camera (HostCAMF44) Manual

2 General

The Network Camera (HostCAMF44) is a digital camera exclusively controlled by the GL53xx via an Ethernet interface.

Digital images or image sequences can be recorded with up to 4 sensor units. They are saved directly on the external storage medium of the data logger, not on the data logger ring buffer.

It is possible to record images from up to 8 sensor units in specific use cases tested and verified by G.i.N. (e.g. via 2 HostCAMF44).

The cameras can be connected via an Ethernet switch (e.g. GLX310) to the GL53xx. The IP addresses of the 4 cameras are entered in the data logger system with LTL (see chap. 6).

» To operate the Network Camera (HostCAMF44) together with the data logger, a data logger based or

camera-based license is required (see chap. 4).

» The simultaneous operation of more than 4 sensor units is NOT recommended by G.i.N.

» When connecting more than one camera, the IP addresses must not be consecutive.

The camera can be supplied using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or directly via the “PWR” connector. A PoE injector is optionally available.

3 Camera Settings

The camera can be configured with a standard web browser using any PC, if it is connected to the camera´s network via Ethernet. To use the Web interface, the IP address of the camera must be entered in the address area of the browser.

To adjust the camera, the sensor unit must be connected to the control unit. If it is replaced afterwards, some settings will be erased or reset.

By default, the camera IP address is set to: 192.168.0.90. To access the camera, the IP address of the PC must be in the same network area. A configuration example:

Camera

IP address

192.168.0.90

192.168.0.100

Subnet mask

255.255.255.0

When the camera is accessed for the first time, the password needs to be set for the default administrator user “root”. Thereafter, every access requires the user name and the password.

Figure 2

Afterwards, the capture mode needs to be set for every sensor unit individually. Depending on the desired resolution and image quality, the frame rate can be set here. Changing it afterwards for every sensor unit is also possible. Only the frame rate of the connected action rules need to be adapted (see chap. 3.6 & 3.5).

Figure 3

When the login details are set, please select the power line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) used at the location of the product.

Selecting the wrong frequency may cause image flicker if the product is used in environments with

fluorescent light.

3.1 Change Camera IP Address

The IP address of the camera can be changed under “Setup/TCP/IP/Settings”. Please note the following:

» The IP address of the camera must be in the same network area (192.168.9.xxx) as the GL53xx FTP

server (192.168.9.4).

» If the PC is connected to a corporate network, the network settings should be saved to recover all settings

later.

» Changing the IP settings on a PC may require administrator rights.

After saving the changes, the camera is now available with the new IP address (here 192.168.9.90).

4 Installing Activation License

To operate the HostCAMF44 in connection with the G.i.N data logger, a data logger based or camera-based HostCAM license is required.

The data logger based HostCAM license allows to operate the cameras (with or without a camera-based license).

If no data logger based HostCAM license is installed on the data logger, each connected camera must have a camera-based HostCAM license.

The activation license has the file extension “*.LIC”. The data logger distinguishes between lower and

upper case regarding the license file name. P

lease make sure that the file extension only contains upper

case letters.

4.1 Data Logger Based HostCAM License

The acquired HostCAM license (in a *.LIC file) can be installed on the device using GiNconf via the menu item "Options | Install license".

4.3 Information about Installed HostCAM Licenses

The information about the installed HostCAM licenses is included in the "ml_rt2.ini" file. This is generated by the data logger in the root directory of the external storage medium.

If a data logger based HostCAM license (i.e. globally for all network cameras) is present, the following is entered in the *.INI file:

HostCam1Enabled=1 HostCam2Enabled=1 HostCam3Enabled=1 HostCam4Enabled=1 HostCam5Enabled=1 HostCam6Enabled=1 HostCam7Enabled=1 HostCam8Enabled=1 HostCam9Enabled=1

The following is entered in the *.INI file if no global data logger based HostCAM license is available, and only camera no. 1 with 4 connected sensor units has a camera-based HostCAM license with the shown serial number:

HostCam1SerNum=ACCC8E37E566 HostCam2Enabled=1 HostCam2SerNum=ACCC8E37E566 HostCam3Enabled=1 HostCam3SerNum=ACCC8E37E566 HostCam4Enabled=1 HostCam4SerNum=ACCC8E37E566 HostCam5Enabled=0 HostCam6Enabled=0 HostCam7Enabled=0 HostCam8Enabled=0 HostCam9Enabled=0

6 LTL Control

The data logger provides two functions to communicate with the Network Camera (HostCAMF44):

1. The data logger can send a trigger to the camera.

2. The camera can stores the images via FTP protocol in the data logger FTP server (see chap. 3.4).

» The IP addresses should be entered in the data logger system using the system constants

HostCameraAddress, … HostCamera9Address.

» The type of the connected camera is defined by the system constant HostCameraType, …

HostCamera9Type (default value = 1). The value “2” is set for HostCAMF44 and “1” for HostCAM.

» The number of connected sensor units to HostCAMF44 is set with the system constant

HostCameraParam, … HostCamera9Param. The definition of this system constant is only necessary if

HostCAMF44 is set as HostCameraxType.

SYSTEM

HostCameraAddress = "192.168.9.90" { default = ""}

HostCameraType = 2 { =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; =0 default} HostCameraParam = 1 { No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }

HostCamera2Address =

"192.168.9.90" { default = ""}

HostCamera2Type = 2 { =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; default=0 } HostCamera2Param = 2 { No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }

HostCamera3Address =

"192.168.9.90" { default = ""}

HostCamera3Type = 2

{ =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; default=0 }

HostCamera3Param = 3 { No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }

HostCamera4Address =

"192.168.9.90" { default = ""}

HostCamera4Type = 2

{ =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; default=0 }

HostCamera4Param = 4 { No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }

…

Sending a trigger to the camera happens in LTL via the predefined variables HostCameraTrigger, …

HostCamera8Trigger. They can be set with CALC. With

CALC

HostCameraTrigger = (1) { For camera1 } HostCamera2Trigger = (1) { For camera2 } … HostCamera8Trigger = (1) { Optional; for camera8 }

The trigger event is set and must be reset with

CALC

HostCameraTrigger = (0) { For camera1 }

HostCamera2Trigger = (0) { For camera2 }

…

HostCamera8Trigger = (0) { Optional; for camera8 }

to be ready for a new trigger event.

The status of a camera can be queried separately using the system variables HostCameraStatus, …

HostCamera8Status. They can have the following values:

Value

Description

There is a problem with the camera

Camera is online.

0xF1

No license for this particular camera.

The query of the status refers to the control unit and not singular sensor units. The result is independent of whether the sensor units are connected or not.

- 27 -

Intelligente Datenlogger

Network Camera (HostCAMF44) Manual

For example;

SYSTEM

HostCameraAddress = "192.168.9.90" HostCameraType = 2 HostCameraParam = 1

OUTPUT

LED1 = (HostCameraStatus = 0xF1) { License missing } LED2 = (HostCameraStatus.0) { Camera error } LED3 = (HostCameraStatus.1) { Camera online/ready }

Here, LED1 remains off when a HostCAMF44 license (data logger or camera1 based) is available. LED2 flashes when the camera has a problem and LED3 flashes when the camera is ready for use.

» During the image transmit, the simultaneous triggering of multiple cameras can lead to a delayed

storing of data from the triggered data logger storage/ring buffer to the external storage medium.

This

can lead to a temporary stop of bus data recording.

» During an image transfer, no further triggers are received and evaluated by the data logger.

» Please do not trigger the Network Camera (HostCAMF44) in very short intervals.

The time interval

between two trigger events should

be at least large enough for the pictures from the last trigger to be

completely transmitted.

» If at least one camera is transferring images to the data logger can be seen by using the system variable

HostCameraStoring.

» The transmitted camera images are saved in a zip file in the external storage medium of the data logger.

The maximum size of a zip file can be set through the system constant HostCameraPackMaxMBs, with a value between 10 and 100 MB (default: 250 MB). If the system constant is set to e.g. 10 MB and the camera transmits images with a total size of 35 MB each trigger, they will be distributed between 4 zip files.

To display the recorded images in LogGraph (see LogGraph-Manual) it is necessary to record the system date and time of the data logger. With

EVENT

ON CYCLE (1000) BEGIN

TRANSMIT CAN16 DATA 2000 [year month day hour minute second] LOG ONLY

the system date and time are recorded every second in the CAN message with the ID 2000.

Since LogGraph works with the signal-based MDF format, a data base is required for this message. It can be generated when compiling by activating the option "- T Create CANdbs for all Transmits" under the Compiler options (see also GiNconf manual, Chapter compiler functions).

Depending on the camera setup (see chap. 3) it will transmit the image files to the data logger FTP server after receiving the trigger. The images are stored in a zip file in the log folder of the SSD. The name of the zip file is derived from the name of the latest image of the trigger. For example, images of a trigger with these names:

HOSTCAM1_Sensor3_2014-07-25_16-51-46-460.jpg

HOSTCAM1_Sensor3_2014-07-25_16-51-47-461.jpg

…

HOSTCAM1_Sensor3_2014-07-25_16-51-56-465.jpg

Are stored in the zip file:

HOSTCAM1_Sensor3_2014-07-25_16-51-46-460.jpg.zip

To view the camera images in LogGraph, it is not necessary to extract the zip files.

Network Camera (HostCAMF44) Manual

The following configuration example defines the triggering of 2 Network Cameras on the GL53xx:

» IP addresses of the two cameras are entered.

» PanelKey1 controls the trigger of sensor unit 1 on camera 1.

» The same for PanelKey2/3/4, they control the triggering of the sensor unit 2/3/4 on camera 1.

» LEDs 1 to 4 indicate the states of the 4 triggers, LED5 flashes permanently.

» The logger display shows the actual amount of the requested camera triggers.

» Each trigger status change is logged in CAN16.

» The data logger enters sleep mode only if Key2 is pressed down for 3 seconds.

6.1 Permanent Recording of Camera Images

During a measurement with the data logger, the HostCAMF44 makes it possible to record images permanently and to transmit them to the data logger. For this,

» Image resolution (see chap.3.3) and frame rate (see chap. 3.5) have to be set low enough

» The action “Pretrigger” must be deactivated resp. set to 0.

» The action “While the rule is active” must be active (see chap. 3.5).

» The action “Post-event time” must be deactivated resp. set to 0.

The following example shows how a permanent recording with HostCAMF44 with two sensor units in connection with the G.i.N. data logger is possible:

LTL excerpt for controlling the camera

SYSTEM

HostCameraAddress = "192.168.9.90" HostCameraType = 2 HostCameraParam = 2

HostCamera2Address = "192.168.9.90"

HostCamera2Type = 2 HostCamera2Param = 2

VAR

CamSwitch = FREE[1]

FLAG

CamRecord = (HostCameraStatus.1 AND CamSwitch)

EVENT

ON SET (Key1) BEGIN CALC CamSwitch = (NOT CamSwitch) END

ON SET (CamRecord) ON RESET (CamRecord) BEGIN CALC HostCameraTrigger = (CamRecord) HostCamera2Trigger = (CamRecord) END

ON SYSTEM (Shutdown) BEGIN CALC CamSwitch = (0) END

OUTPUT

LED1 = (CamSwitch) LED2 = (CamRecord)

» The data logger triggers the camera immediately when it comes online (“HostCameraStatus.1 = 1”) and

keeps the trigger active until shutdown.

» If the camera is not connected anymore (“HostCameraStatus.1 = 0”), the data logger resets the trigger

with “HostCameraTrigger = Off”. As soon as the camera is online, the data logger triggers it again. This functionality helps to transmit the camera data in the case of a short interruption.

» For every measurement (without interruption), a zip file with the transmitted images is stored in the root

directory of the external storage medium.

» The camera trigger is set and reset with key1

Network Camera (HostCAMF44) Manual

» Key1 is used in LTL, for interactive triggering of the camera, as follows: single press of key1 triggers the

camera (sets “CamSwitch” to 1). Pressing it again resets the trigger (set “CamSwitch” to 0) and stops the image transmit.

» Shutdown of the data logger resets the camera trigger (“HostCameraTrigger = Off”).

» LED 1 shows the status of the switch “CamSwitch” , controlled via key1.

» LED 2 shows whether the camera trigger is set or reset.
