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 a standard interface which uses Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications. It was developed primarily 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 over long distances.

GigE Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is maintained 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.

Before using GigE Vision cameras

All software products described in this manual pertain to the proper use of JAI GigE Vision cameras. Product names mentioned in this manual are used only for the explanation of operation. Registered trademarks or trademarks belong to their manufacturers. To use the JAI SDK, it is necessary to accept the “Software license agreement” first.

This manual describes necessary equipment and the details of camera functions.

Software installation

The JAI GigE Vision SDK & Control Tool can be downloaded from the JAI web site at

Camera operation

1. General

This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-030GE/CM030GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA/CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA are a new additions to JAI GigE Vision compliant camera series. Both the monochrome version CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and the color version CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA provide a frame rate of 90.5 frames/second at full resolution. Using vertical binning (CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA only) and partial scan provides higher frame rates. The 1/3" CCD with square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function and asynchronous random trigger mode allow the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects.

The color version CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA, based on CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer mosaic filter, outputs raw Bayer images. Host-based color interpolation is required to display or save color images.

The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA/CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA also comply with the GenICam standard and contains an internal XML-file that is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For further information about GigE®Vision standard, please go to

www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICamTM, please go to www.emva.org.

As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit). This SDK includes GigEVision 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

Note: CM/CB-030GE and CM/CB-030GE-RA can be connected with 100BASE-TX.

However, due to the limited bandwidth (100Mbps), the described

specifications such as frame rate, minimum trigger interval and so on cannot

be satisfied for 100BASE-TX connection.

6. Input and output interface

6.1. GPIO interface

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), 4 Pulse Generators and a 12-bit counter. In the LUT, the relationship between inputs, counters and outputs is governed by internal register set-up.

The input and output settings for the CM-030GE and CB-030GE series have been fixed as follows.

6.1.1 LUT (Look Up Table)

The LUT works as a cross-point switch, which allows connecting inputs and outputs freely. The signals LVAL_IN, DVAL_IN, FVAL_IN and EEN_IN all originate from the camera timing circuit. Trigger 0 is connected to the camera's timing circuit and is used for initiating triggered exposure. Trigger 1 is used for Delayed Readout mode. The Time Stamp Reset signal is used reset the camera's time stamp function, also making it possible to reset and synchronize the time stamp of multiple cameras.

6.1.2 12-bit Counter

A 25 MHz clock or the camera pixel clock (40 MHz) 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.

6.1.3. Pulse Generators (0 to 3) Each pulse generator consists of a 20-bit counter. The behavior of these signals is defined by their pulse width, start point, end point and number of repetitions. 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.

Fig.7 Generated pulse

Setting example:

The following example shows the FVAL input to pulse generator. The pulse generator creates the pulse using FVAL and the pulse is output through GPIO PORT 1. The pixel clock is 60MHz.

The created pulse rises up at the start point and falls down at the end point as shown above. Accordingly, the High duration is (End point – Start point) clocks x (1/ Pulse gen. frequency).

In the above example, the original oscillation uses pixel clock (60 MHz) and the pixel clock is divided by 2400. A pulse frequency of the generator is 25 KHz ( 60000000/2400). As the start point is 0 and the end point is 99, the pulse having 100 x 1/25000 = 4ms width is created.

If the HIGH duration needs to be delayed against incoming trigger, the start point should be set at “N“. The delay value is N x (1/ 25000). In the above example, N is “0” which is no delay. The length, in this case, is 102 clocks.

These settings can be achieved by JAI Control tool which is the part of JAI SDK.

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