JAI GigE® Vision Camera operation manuals

To understand and operate this JAI GigE® Vision camera properly, JAI provides the following manuals.

User’s manual (this booklet) Describes functions and operation of the hardware JAI SDK & Control Tool User Guide Describes functions and operation of the Control Tool JAI SDK Getting Started Guide Describes the network interface

User’s manual is available at www.jai.com JAI SDK & Control Tool User Guide and JAI SDK Getting Started Guide are provided with the JAI SDK which is available at www.jai.com.

Introduction

GigE Vision is the new standard interface using Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications and it was mainly set up by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigE Vision is capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an inexpensive general purpose LAN cable for a long distance.

GigE Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is mainly set up by the EMVA (European Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a common program interface for various machine vision cameras. By using GenICam, cameras from different manufactures can seamlessly connect in one platform.

For details about the GigE Vision standard, please visit the AIA web site, www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.

JAI GigE Vision cameras comply with both the GigE Vision standard and the GenICam standard.

Camera Operation

1. General

The AB-800GE and AM-800GE comply with the GigEVision® standard and also GenICamTM with its Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) ver.1.3. Functions described in this booklet are described based on this standard.For further information about the GigE Vision standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICam, please go to www.genicam.org.

The AM-800GE is a 4/3 inch monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the AB-800GE is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both have 8 million pixels resolution and utilize 2-tap output from the Kodak KAI-08050 sensor. They provide 10 frames per second (8-bit output) for continuous scanning with full 3296 x 2472 pixel resolution.

Both AM-800GE and AB-800GE are suitable for automated optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection.

They incorporate various processing circuits such as LUT, FFC (Flat Field Compensation), blemish compensation and Bayer interpolation. The AM-800GE and AB-800GE work in continuous, single frame, and multi-frame modes for acquisition control together with timed and trigger width exposure controls. Both cameras also have pre-dump and PIV modes.

As an application programming interface, JAI provides an 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. The latest version of this manual can be downloaded from www.jai.com For camera revision history, please contact your local JAI distributor.

6.2. Opto-isolated Interface

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 Fig.9 Opto-coupler

outputs will handle +5V to +24V DC.

The figure at the right shows the functional principle (opto-coupler) of the opto-isolated inputs/outputs.

The following parameters of this auto iris control signal output can be changed.

Auto Iris Control Signal Output:

ON : The auto iris control can be connected with AGC and ASC as ALC function OFF : The auto iris control is not connected with AGC and ASC.

Iris Reverse Gain:

ON : The auto iris control signal is multiplied by the inverse of AFE gain (VGA

gain). If ALC is used, select this one. Auto iris control signal is not affected by AGC gain.

OFF: The auto iris control signal is not multiplied by the inverse of AFE gain (VGA

gain).

Iris State Control:

Video: Use the iris control in auto mode. Close: Force the iris to close.

Open: Force the iris to open. Iris Sync Level: Adjust the H sync level added to the video between 0 to 255. Iris Control Gain:

0 – 255: Set a separate control gain for the auto iris control signal. If oscillation

occurs when the auto iris diaphragm reaches the set point, this setting may reduce the phenomenon.

Iris Interpolate Gain (Note): 0 – 255: At frame rates below 20fps, the auto iris operation may appear “jumpy”

as it rapidly moves from one level to the next. This function prevents this so-called “hunting” phenomenon by interpolating new auto iris control levels between each frame, thereby smoothing the rate of the auto iris changes.

Iris Calculate Ratio (Note): 20 – 160: This function compensates Iris Interpolate Gain to allow for the varying

diaphragm ranges of different auto iris lenses. This can be helpful if the auto iris is not able to find the appropriate point by hunting when operating at frame rates of less than 20fps.

Note: These interpolated controls are calculated based on the “Gain Auto Reference” value. If the system is operating with a frame rate of less than 20fps, the set point of the lens should match the value of “Gain Auto Reference”, even if ALC is being controlled by only the auto iris. Also, when using an auto iris lens with its own speed and level controls, it is recommended that these controls first be adjusted on the lens before using

the camera controls above to avoid possible conflicts.

6.4. Trigger input

An external trigger input can be applied to the input selected Line Selector. The input is AC coupled. To allow long pulses the input circuit is designed as a flip-flop circuit. The leading and trailing edges of the trigger pulse activate the circuit. The trigger polarity can be changed by Trigger Activation. Trigger input level is 4 V 2 V.

Fig.15 Trigger input circuit

6.5. Exposure Active output

Exposure Active signal (positive) is found on Opt-out on Hirose 12P or TTL out on D-sub 9-pin connector. The output circuit is 75  complementary emitter followers. Output level 3 V from 75 (no termination). It can be changed to the open collector signal. When the open collector is used, the maximum current is 120mA. However, if a current of more than 50mA is flowed, it is necessary to use bigger diameter wires for connecting pins #8 and 9. If narrower-gauge wires are used, it may not work properly due to resistance issues. This output can be changed to open collector Fig.16 Exposure Active output signal by SW500.

7.7 YUV output

The AB-800GE has a YUV output, as well as an ordinal RGB interpolated output. The conversion formula is as follows and cannot be controlled externally.

Y = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B Cb = 0.5*B – 0.169*R -0.331*G +128 Cr = 0.5*R – 0.419*G – 0.0813*B + 128

While RGB output is 24-bit (8 bits per color), YUV takes advantage of the human visual

system's lower acuity for color variations than for luminance.

The color information (chrominance) is sub-sampled at half the rate of the brightness

component (luminance). Thus, YUV can be compressed into 16-bit output for a faster full color frame rate that is visually perceived as close to RGB, albeit with lower actual color precision.
