3 About GigE Vision Ver2.0

EL-2800-GE2 complies with the Latest GigE Vision version 2.0. 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.

As a new extension of standards, GigE Vision Ver.2.0 employs Link Aggregation which combines two independent ports and identifies these as one port, making much higher transfer rates possible; PTP (IEE1588) which provides more precise time management; and Manifest which enables either GigE Vision Ver.1.X or Ver.2.0 on demand. EL-2800-GE2 complies with those extensions. For the details, please refer to Chapter 5.1.

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.

4 Recommended PC to be used

The PC used should have the following performance or better

1) Recommended CPU : Core i3 or better,

2) Recommended memory: DDR3, 4GB fully equipped (Windows 7 32-bit) DDR3, 8GB fully equipped (Windows 7 64-bit)

3) Graphics card : Should apply with PCI Express Generation 3.0 or better

4) NIC : Use Intel NIC PCI-Express Bus to install Intel NIC should be better than Generation 2.0. Generation 1.0 cannot be used.

5) Other: If the picture is always displayed on the monitor, it is not recommended to use the CPU in the PC.

5 About the network card to be used

SP-5000-GE2 complies with Link Aggregation which handles two ports as one port. To make the best use of this function, the network card used should comply with 1000BASE-T as well as Link Aggregation. It also complies with Jumbo Frame. If Jumbo Frame is set to a large value, the PC processing load can be reduced. The packet overhead is also reduced and as the result, the bandwidth of the communication line has more room.

6 Cables to be used

GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T. In the market, CAT5e (125MHz), CAT6 (250MHz) and CAT7 (600MHz) cables are available for 1000BASE-T. There are crossover cables and straight through cables available. Currently, as most equipment complies with Auto MDI/MDI-X, please use straight through cables. (Among crossover cables, a half crossover type exists, which the Ethernet will recognize as 100BASE-T).

7 EMVA 1288

With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used together with specifications by a traditional measurement method. EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames. Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid test parameters, means that all manufacturers are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288 tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products. In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org

Camera Operation Manual

1. General

The EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2 are new cameras in JAI’s Elite Series. They provide high picture quality, such as high sensitivity and low noise, suitable for machine vision applications. The EL-2800M-GE2 is a monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the EL-2800C-GE2 is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both are equipped with a 2/3 inch CCD sensor offering 2.83 million pixels resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. They provide 54.6 frames per second for continuous scanning with 1920 x 1440 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.

8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and Bayer outputs. The EL-2800C-GE2 is also capable of performing in-camera color interpolation to produce 24-bit (8-bit per color) RGB output at 27.7fps in 2-port LAG. The EL-2800C-GE2 also provides YUV411, YUV422 or YUV444. The new cameras feature a GigEVision ver. 2.0 interface which supports the use of a 2-port configuration for a faster transfer rate. A full pixel readout, partial scan readout, or binning mode (monochrome only) can be selected depending on the application.

EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2 have various comprehensive functions needed for automated optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection. They incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, shading compensation, and blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and video level control.

As a common Elite Series feature, a new connector for lens control is employed. EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2 support P-iris and motor-driven lenses as standard lens control capabilities. Factory options are available to configure this connector to support DC iris systems as well as provide a video iris output signal, or to provide additional TTL IN and OUT lines.

5. Input and output

5.1 GigE Interface

5.1.1 GigE Vision 2.0 Extension functions

EL-2800-GE2 complies with GigE Vision 2.0. Its extension functions are described below.

5.1.1.1 Link Aggregation

By handling two ports as one port, the maximum transfer rate can be achieved at 2 Gbps. This function is based on IEEE802.3ad, IEEE802.1AX Link Aggregation and GigE Vision 2.0.

Table 2. Link Aggregation Specifications

Link Aggregation

system

sLAG(Static Link Aggregation Group) and dLAG(Dynamic Link Aggregation Group)

When dLAG is selected, LACP selects automatically. When sLAG is selected, if HW conditions are not

satisfied, SL (Single Link) is activated.

Load distribution

system

Round-robin processing GVSP Ether Frame is output from Port 0 or Port 1 alternatively.

When the first packet (Leader packet : Leader

frame) of the video frame is output, the output port is reset to 0.

Physical Network

Number

2 Ports Port 0 and Port 1 are enabled.

In Single Link (SL), either Port 0 or Port 1 is used.

MAC Address

Number

As only SL, sLAG and dLAG are supported, MAC

Address is one. Port 0 and Port 1 use the same MAC Address．（Note 1）

IP Address

Number

As only SL, sLAG and dLAG are supported, IP Address is one. Port 0 and Port 1 use the same IP Address．（Note 1）

GVCP Port

GVCP returns ACK to the port which receive the command.

Stream Channel

Number

1 Channel

When SL is used, one stream is output from either Port0 or Port1 which is linked up. When sLAG or dLAG is used, one stream is output in load-balanced from Port 0 and Port1.

SL/sLAG

Selecting

Method

Selected by the status of Port Link UP

If only 1 port is linked up, it is SL.

If sLAG is enabled, and if Port 0 and Port 1 are linked up, the status is changed to sLAG.

If dLAG is enabled, and if Port 0 and Port 1 are linked up, the status is set to dLAG by LACP or is reverted to SL.

Event Message

GEV_EVENT_LINK_SPEED_C HANGE

If a change of SL to or from LAG occurs, GEV_EVENT_SPEED_CHANGE Event Message can be issued.

Note 1: In Link Aggregation operation, two ports use the same MAC Address and IP Address.

Accordingly, if these two ports are connected to only one non-compliant IEEE802.3ad or IEEE802.1AX switch, the function is not properly executed. If non-compliant IEEE802.3ador IEEE802.1AX switch is used, 2 sets should be used and connected to each port.

Note: When Pulse Generator Repeat Count is set to “0”, the camera is operating in Free Running mode.

However, based on the above default settings (Length=1, Start Point=0 and End Point=1), Pulse Generator stops at High output. Therefore, if Start Point=0 and End Point=1 are configured, Length should be “2” as the minimum active width.

5.6.1 Clock Pre-scaler

Clock pre-scaler (Divide Value) can set the dividing value of the frequency divider (12-bit

length) and the pixel clock is used for this. Four built-in pulse generators work by the same clock. In the EL-2800M/C-GE2, the internal pixel clock is 54 MHz.

5.6.2 Pulse Generator Selector

This is where you select one of the 4 pulse generators in order to set or modify its parameters.

5.6.3 Pulse Generator Length

Set the counter up value (number of clocks, refer to Table 12) for the selected pulse generator. If Repeat Count value is “0”, and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input, the pulse generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.

5.6.4 Pulse Generator Start Point

Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator. However, please note that a maximum 1 clock jitter for the clock which is divided in the clock pre-scaler can occur.

5.6.5 Pulse Generator End Point

Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.

5.6.6 Pulse Generator Repeat Count

Set the repeating number of the pulse for the selected pulse generator. After Trigger Clear signal is input, the pulse generator starts the count set in Repeat Count. Accordingly, an active pulse which has a start point and end point can be output repeatedly. However, if Repeat Count is set to “0”, it works as a free-running counter.

5.6.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation

Set the clear conditions of clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.

5.6.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode

Set the count clear method for the selected pulse generator.

In Async Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter will stop counting according to the clear signal input. In Sync Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter will continue to count until the end of the length setting value and then clear the count.

Both modes clear the repeat count when the counter is cleared.

7. Operating modes

7.1. Acquisition control

7.1.1 Acqusition mode

In the EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2, the following three acquisition modes are available.

Single frame : One frame can be output by AcqusitionStart command Multi frames : The number of frames which is specified in Acquistion Frame Count, are output by AcquisitionStart command Continuous : Images are continuously output by AcquisitionStart command until AcqusitionStop command is input.

7.1.1.1 Single Frame

In single frame mode, executing the AcquisitionStart command causes one frame to be captured. After one frame is captured, this operation is automatically stopped. In order to restart the capture, it is necessary to input the AcquisitionStart command again. BlockID is not reset until AcquisitionStop is input and is incremented when the AcquisitionStart command is called. In the case of PIV operation, 2 frames are captured instead of one frame.

◆ Normal single frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE” (accepts capture)

3) 1 frame is output

4) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing)

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is “TRUE”, if AcquisitionStop or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing). However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed.

Associated command: Acquisition Start, Acquisition Stop

7.1.1.2 MultiFrame

In this mode, the AcquisitionStart command captures the number of frames which are specified by AcquisitionFrameCount.

◆ Normal multi-frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionTriggerWait becomes effective

3) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE”(accepts capture)

4) Output N frames as specified by AcquisitionFrameCount

5) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE”. Then the output stops. (See the following diagram)

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is “TRUE”, if AcquisitionStop or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing). Once the operation is set to “FALSE”, the internal FrameCount is reset.

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed. Once, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE”, the internal count is reset.

 Acqusition Frame Count (16-bit): Can be set in the range of 1 to 65535

In PIV mode, Acquisition Frame Count (16-bit) can be set in the range of 2 to 65535. The setting for PIV mode is 2 frames per step.

7.1.1.3 Continuous mode

In this mode, when the AcquisitionStart command is set, the image is continuously output at the current frame rate. This is the default setting for the EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2.

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionTriggerWait becomes effective

3) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE”

4) Images begin outputting continuously

5) AcquisitionStop command is sent

6) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE”. At this moment, the output stops.

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed.

7.1.2 Acquisition frame rate

With Trigger OFF, which is free-running operation, it is possible to set a longer acquisition period than the time required to read out all pixels in the area set by the ROI command. The setting is done in the acquisition frame rate.

The setting range is:

Shortest

Longest

The reciprocal of the time

required to read out all

pixels in the area set by ROI

The reciprocal of the time to

transmit one frame data

0.5 Hz (fps)

Note:

1. If the trigger is set to ON, this function is not available.

2. The value for setting is frame frequency (Hz).

3. If the setting value is less than the minimum period, this setting is ignored and camera operates at the minimum period.

Self-running (Trigger OFF) works under the following conditions. Exposure Mode : OFF Exposure Mode : Timed and Frame Start OFF Exposure Mode : Trigger Width and Frame Start OFF.

7.1.3 Calculation of frame rate

In the following formula, the underlined results should be rounded up.

7.1.4.1 V Binning Off

The frame rate is the smaller of the Sensor frame rate or the Network frame rate.

Sensor frame rate(Hz) = 1000000/〔［ Height/2 + {((720-(Height/2)-1)/4} + 25 ］x

7.2. Exposure settings

7.2.1 Exposure Mode

The exposure mode can be selected from the following three ways.

Table18. Exposure mode

Exposure Mode setting

Exposure operation

OFF

No exposure control (free-running operation)

Timed

Exposure operation at the value set in Exposure Time. Setting value is usec unit.

・If Trigger Mode setting is OFF, the camera is in free-running operation. ・If Trigger Mode setting is ON, the exposure operation depends on the setting of

Trigger Option.

Trigger Width

The exposure is controlled by the pulse width of the external trigger. ・Trigger Mode is forced to ON.

For trigger operation, Exposure Mode must be set to something other than OFF and Trigger Mode of Frame Start must be ON. If Exposure Mode is set at Timed, the exposure operation can be selected as follows by setting Trigger Option

7.2.2 Exposure Time

This command is effective only when Exposure Mode is set to Timed. It is for setting exposure time.

The setting step for exposure time is 1 μsec per step.

Minimum: 10 μsec Maximum: 8 seconds

7.2.3 Exposure Auto

This is a function to control the exposure automatically. It is effective only for Timed. ALC Reference controls the brightness. There are three modes: OFF, Once, and Continuous.

OFF: No exposure control Once: Exposure adjusts when the function is set, then remains at that setting Continuous: Exposure continues to be adjusted automatically

In this mode, the following settings are available.

ALC Speed: Rate of adjustment can be set(Common with Gain Auto) Exposure Auto Max: The maximum value for the exposure range can be set Exposure Auto Min: The minimum value for the exposure range can be set ALC Reference: The reference level of the exposure control can be set

7.3.3 Trigger Overlap

This function defines whether or not a trigger pulse can be accepted while data is being read out.

OFF： The trigger pulse is not accepted during CCD readout.

Read Out： The trigger pulse can be accepted during CCD readout

7.4. Normal continuous operation (Timed Exposure Mode/Trigger Mode OFF)

This is used for applications which do not require triggering. In this mode, the video signal for the auto-iris lens is available.

7.7. RCT mode

Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and the video signal for the auto-iris lens is output. At this moment, the video signal, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the accumulation and the readout are performed. When the accumulated signal against the trigger is read out, FVAL, LVAL and DVAL are output too.

Primary settings to use this mode

Exposure mode: Timed(RCT) Trigger mode: ON Frame Start : ON Trigger option : RCT

In this mode, the setting of Trigger Overlap is invalid.

7.8. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)

The Particle Image Velocimetry mode can be used in applications where 2 images need to be taken with a very short time interval. It can only be used with strobe flash as illumination. The first accumulation time is 10 sec to 2 sec. Then, the second exposure will be taken. The accumulation is LVAL asynchronous. The first strobe is activated during the first exposure duration and the second strobe is pulsed while the first frame is being read out. In this way, two strobe flashes generate two video outputs.
