AM-1600GE / AB-1600GE

1. General

The AM-1600GE and AB-1600GE are 16-megapixel, high resolution GigE Vision Compliant cameras for applications such as high density board inspection, flat panel display inspection, and so on. The AM-1600GE is a monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the AB-1600GE is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both cameras have a 43.3mm diagonal CCD with 16 million pixels resolution and a continuous frame rate of

3.0 frames per second. The AM-1600GE and AB-1600GE support partial scan read out for faster frame rates. The AM-1600GE also has a vertical binning mode for a faster frame rate, as well as higher sensitivity. The AM-1600GE has internal pre-processing circuits for blemish compensation, shading compensation and a LUT(Look Up Table). Both cameras accept external trigger pulses with EPS ,PWC, Sequential and Frame Delay modes available. The Gigabit Ethernet digital output is selectable 8 bits,10 bits or 12 bits. Lens mount options include F mount or Universal P mount, which is the factory option.

The AM-1600GE and AB-1600GE also comply with the GenICam standard and contain an internal XML file that is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For further information about the GigE Vision Standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org

and

about GenICam, please go to www.genicam.org

As an application programming interface, JAI provides a SDK (Software Development Kit). This SDK includes GigE Vision Filter Driver, JAI Control tool, software documentation and code examples. The JAI SDK can be downloaded from www.jai.com

6. GPIO (Inputs and outputs)

6.1 Overview

All input and output signals pass through the GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) module. The GPIO module consists of a Look-Up Table (LUT – Cross-Point Switch), 2 Pulse Generators and a 12-bit counter. In the LUT, the relationship between inputs, counters and outputs is governed by internal register set-up.

Fig.6 GPIO interface

Some of the descriptions in this diagram differ from those displayed in the camera control tool. The following table shows display names and descriptions.

The blocks shown in the above diagram have the following functionality:

AM-1600GE / AB-1600GE

6.1.1 LUT (Cross Point Switch)

The LUT works as a cross-point switch which allows connecting inputs and outputs freely. The signals LVAL_IN, FVAL_IN and EEN_IN all originate from the camera timing circuit. On this diagram, “Trigger 0” is used for camera exposure and “Trigger 1” is used for Delayed Readout. The “Time Stamp Reset” signal can reset the time stamp specified in GigE Vision Format. This signal can be used when time stamps from several cameras connected are coincident with each other. The “Sequence reset” resets the sequential settings. Outputs from LUT described on the right side show GPIO settings for LINE SELECTOR in the JAI Camera Control tool and inputs to LUT on the left side show GPIO settings for LINE SOURCE in the JAI Camera Control tool. Refer to Chapter 6.3

6.1.2 12-bit Counter

A camera pixel clock can be used as a source. The counter has a “Divide by N”, where N has the range 1 through 4096, allowing a wide range of clock frequencies to be programmed. Setting value 0 is bypass, setting value 1 is 1/2 dividing, and setting value 4095 is 1/4096 dividing. As the pixel clocks for the AM-1600GE and AB-1600GE are 30 MHz, the output frequency is varied from 30MHz to 10.135 KHz.

6.1.3 Pulse Generators (0 to 1)

Each pulse generator consists of a 19-bit counter. The behavior of these signals is defined by their pulse width, start point and end point. The pulse generator signals can be set in either triggered or periodic mode. In triggered mode, the pulse is triggered by the rising edge, falling edge, high level or low level of the input signal. In periodic mode, the trigger continuously generates a signal that is based on the configured pulse width, starting point and end point. Each pulse generator operates at the frequency created in the 12-bit counter. As the pixel clock (30 MHz) is used as the main frequency, the frequency of pulse generator is 30MHz to

10.135 KHz.

6.2 Opto-isolated Inputs/Outputs

The control interface of the C3 GigE Vision camera series has opto-isolated inputs and outputs, providing galvanic separation between the camera's inputs/outputs and peripheral equipment. In addition to galvanic separation, the opto-isolated inputs and outputs can cope with a wide range of voltages; the voltage range for inputs is +3.3V to +24V DC whereas outputs will handle +5V to +24V DC.

Pulse generators (19 bit x 2)

There are 2 pulse generators (designated 0 through 1) that can be used to create various timing scenarios by programming start point, endpoint, length and repeats.

The following drawing is an example of settings. FVAL is used for the input of Pulse Generator 0 and the clock after the rising edge of FVAL counts 100 clocks for the high period of the pulse and 102 clocks for the pulse length. As 2400 is for Clock Pre-scaler, the output of 12 bit counter is 25 KHz, which is 40µs. Pulse Generator 0 creates a 4 ms pulse.

7.2 Bit Allocation (Pixel Format / Pixel Type) – AM-1600GE (monochrome)

In the GigE Vision Interface, GVSP (GigE Vision Streaming Protocol) is used for an application layer protocol relying on the UDP transport layer protocol. It allows an application to receive image data, image information and other information from a device. In AM-1600GE, the following pixel types supported by GVSP are available. With regard to the details of GVSP, please refer to GigE Vision Specification available from AIA (www.machinevisiononline.org
