Product Summary

The Vision HAWK Smart Camera is a compact industrial smart camera that provides powerful machine vision capabilities with a small form factor and intuitive software interface. The Vision HAWK is designed for industrial environments where IP65/67 enclosure and rugged M12 connectivity are required.

Fully-integrated I/O and communications make the Vision HAWK easy to incorporate in virtually any machine vision application. Patented liquid lens autofocus and modular optical zoom enables the Vision HAWK to inspect objects at distances from 33 mm to 2 m and beyond.

Pressing the AutoVISION button at the back of the Vision HAWK enables real time dynamic autofocus. When an object is centered in the field of view and the AutoVISION button is pressed, the camera automatically adjusts focal distance and sets internal parameters to optimize image captures.

AutoVISION software, designed for use with the Vision HAWK, provides an intuitive interface, step-by-step configuration, and a library of presets that allow easy setup and deployment. For more complex vision applications, the system can be upgraded from AutoVISION to Visionscape.

Mounting and Wiring the Vision HAWK Smart Camera

Mounting holes

Standard Vision HAWK

Vision HAWK C-Mount

For most C-Mount lenses:

• Loosen all lens screws to allow free lens movement.

• Install first set screw in the available slot.

• Remove one lens screw and install second set screw to allow for adjustment.

Important: Configuration details may vary by lens model.

Mounting and Wiring the Vision HAWK Smart Camera

Important: Pin 9 (Host RxD) must be tied to ground (Pin 7) when using a

flying lead cable and the serial port is not being used. The camera may not boot to completion if RxD is not grounded. Isolate unused wires. The ends of unused wires must not touch each other.

• Mount the camera (1) securely as required by the application.

• Connect the Ethernet cable (2) from “B” on the camera (1) to the network.

• Connect the power supply cable (3) to “3” on the QX-1 (4).

• Connect the trigger (5) to “T” on the QX-1 (4).

• Connect the “Common” cable (6) from “A” on the camera (1) to “2” on the QX-1 (4).

• Plug in the power supply (3).

Ground and Shield Considerations

An earth ground is provided through the cable shields and chassis of the imager.

Vision HAWK

Proper grounding is necessary for operator safety, noise reduction, and the protection of equipment from voltage transients. Buildings, including any steelwork, all circuits, and all junction boxes must be grounded directly to an earth ground in compliance with local and national electrical codes.

Ground and Shield Considerations

System Components

Ground Loops

Ground loops (signal degradation due to different ground potentials in communicating devices) can be eliminated or minimized by ensuring that both the host, imager, and their power supplies are connected to a common earth ground.

Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide 2-17

Chapter 2 System Components

Expected Power and Ground Connections for Proper Operation

Grounding Notes:

• Ensure that mounting bracket “Earth” is at the same potential as power source “Earth”.

• Supply “Return” and “Earth” ground must be stable, low-impedance reference points.

• “2-Terminal Power Supply” must still provide an “Earth” connection to the imager.

• “Signal Ground” can be used for communications and/or discrete signal ground reference. It must not be used as Power Ground or Earth Ground.

AutoVISION Button

The AutoVISION Button has three positions, selectable by the length of time the button is held down, and indicated by one, two, or three beeps and LED flashes in succession. It can also be used to send a trigger signal when Send Trigger is checked in AutoVISION software’s Connect view. When the trigger functionality is enabled, pushing the AutoVISION Button triggers the camera to capture an image.

1st Position: Red Targeting Pattern

The first AutoVISION Button position turns the targeting system on. This overrides any other targeting modes that have been configured.

2nd Position: Auto Calibration

The second AutoVISION Button position starts the Auto Calibration process, which selects the appropriate photometry and focus settings for the camera. The selected values are then saved for power-on.

Trigger Debounce

change – a common issue with relays that have some intermittent contact while engaging.

is the ability of the system to accomodate switching noise on a trigger state

Trigger overruns (when the vision system is triggered faster than the device can process) can be avoided by increasing the “debounce” time in the camera definition file located in the C:\Microscan\Vscape\Drivers\CamDefs directory.

The IO Line Debounce High Time and IO Line Debounce Low Time can be added to the file as in the example below. The default debounce time is 1 ms (1,000 μs).

Note: Although the value entered for the "IO Line Debounce Time" is in microseconds, it will only be rounded up to a millisecond value. For example, entering the value 1001 will resolve to 2 ms; entering a value of 2800 will resolve to 3 ms.

The min value for "IO Line Debounce Time" is 0, which disables software debounce altogether. The maximum value is 100000 (100 ms).

Lens Substitution

The following procedure will change the appropriate settings in the Vision HAWK to allow the camera to focus properly after the lens has been changed. Please note that the Vision HAWK camera will use default lookup tables for the focus when the lens selection is changed, so the actual focus distances may not be as accurate as the lens that was shipped with the unit that was factory calibrated. Since default lookup tables are used, the Vision HAWK may not focus over the full focus range that is normally seen when using the factory calibrated lens.

After the lens has been changed via the parameters below, the new values will take effect the next time that the lens focus is modified.

1. Boot the Vision HAWK Smart Camera.

2. Connect to the Vision HAWK via Telnet using the IP address of the camera.

3. Send the following command after the Vision HAWK has booted:

stopAll The response should be "value = 1 = 0x1".

Optics and Lighting

4. Send the following command:

GetCurrentLens()

One of these 4 responses will appear:

1 = 15° 2 = 30° 3 = 45° 4 = 12°

5. After the camera has booted, send the following command (choose the appropriate

number based on the new lens):

SetCurrentLens(1) (to change to 15° lens) The response should be: "Now Set to 1 = 15deg" "value = 0 = 0x0"

SetCurrentLens(2) (to change to 30° lens) The response should be: "Now Set to 2 = 30deg" "value = 0 = 0x0"

SetCurrentLens(3) (to change to 45° lens) The response should be: "Now Set to 3 = 45deg" "value = 0 = 0x0"

Before correct lighting

After correct lighting with a NERLITE illuminator

Machine Vision Lighting Principles

Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. Depending on the requirements of your application, you may also need to add external lighting from Microscan’s NERLITE family of machine vision lighting products.

Consider the following when setting up your application:

– Is the surface of the object flat, slightly bumpy, or very bumpy?

– Is the surface matte or shiny?

– Is the object curved or flat?

– What is the color of the object or area being inspected?

– Is the object moving or stationary?

Machine vision lighting should maximize contrast of the areas or features being inspected while minimizing the contrast of everything else.

Chapter 3 Optics and Lighting

Device parameters are referred to as camera parameters that are saved outside of a job, such that they can be applied globally or independent of a job as well as updated outside a job. These parameters include photometry settings (gain and exposure), focus, and white balance gain.

• A new job will always inherit the current “device data” so you do not need to re-calibrate the device.

• The device data for focus, photometry, white balance, and dimensional calibration exists in two places at all times:

– In the job (copied from the device data at job creation);

– On the device’s global /Config flash folder.

• Whenever the device parameters are calibrated, two things happen:

– The device global data is updated in the /Config flash folder;

– The job loaded in RAM is updated with the new data.

•The Use Fixed White Balance option controls whether the device parameters (white balance gains) are updated when the job is loaded from flash or downloaded to RAM with the device-wide values, or if the values last saved in the job are used instead.

– Normal: Device parameters are updated when the job is loaded

from flash or downloaded to RAM with the device-wide parameter values (from the acqcfg file).

• If a job is opened on the PC or from a flash job slot on the device, and if a device parameter is unlocked, the value saved in the global device parameter file (acqcf) is used.

– Job device parameter value (RAM) = Global device

parameter value (/Config flash folder).

• Whenever an “unlocked” device parameter is updated, two things happen:

– The device global data in RAM is updated;

– The job loaded in RAM is updated.

• When a job is saved to a job slot, the device global data file in the /Config flash folder is updated.

– Fixed: Values last saved in the job are used.

• If a job is opened on the PC or from a flash job slot on the device, and if a device parameter is locked, the value saved in the job is used.

– Job device parameter loaded in RAM = Job device

parameter opened (Flash Slot/PC).

– The global device parameter file is untouched.

• Whenever a “locked” device parameter is updated, the job loaded in RAM is updated.

Chapter 3 Optics and Lighting

White Balance Implementation

White balance is a processing operation performed to ensure proper color fidelity in a captured digital image. The image sensor does not detect light exactly as the human eye does, and so some processing or correction of the detected image is necessary to ensure that the final image realistically represents the colors of the original image. Proper white balance is required to take into account the “color temperature” of the light source, which refers to the relative “coolness” of white light. The main purpose of white balance as it relates to the Vision HAWK is to render neutral colors correctly (gray/white) and to provide consistent color results.

Factory pre-set white balance calibration should be satisfactory for most applications, but the Vision HAWK allows for user adjustment or calibration of the white balance to account for exposure to different lighting conditions.

APPENDIX D CloudLink Web HMI

CloudLink allows you to visualize Microscan Link values and images

from compatible Microscan smart cameras and vision systems. It runs in your web browser, and is compatible with a wide variety of modern browsers including those found on tablets and smart phones.

This appendix contains information about CloudLink support for the Vision HAWK. Refer to Getting Started with CloudLink – installed in the documentation folder C:\Microscan\Vscape\Documentation during AutoVISION/Visionscape installation – for detailed information about configuring and using the CloudLink web HMI.

CloudLink Web HMI

CloudLink requires an HTML5-compatible browser.

• Internet Explorer 10 or later

• Google Chrome

• Firefox

• Mobile Safari (iPhone / iPad)

• Mobile Chrome on Android devices

The following browswers were explicitly tested for compatibility:

• Internet Explorer 10.0.9

• Internet Explorer 11.0.2

• Google Chrome 33.0

• Firefox 28.0

Additional Notes:

• Windows Safari is not supported.

• Internet Explorer 11 or later and Google Chrome 33 or later are recommended for extended CloudLink sessions.

Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide D-1

Appendix D CloudLink Web HMI

Click the CloudLink Dashboard icon to launch the application.

Connecting

To launch CloudLink, use your favorite web browser and enter the address of your device in the browser’s address bar. For example, if you have a Microscan smart camera on your network at address 10.20.1.123, you would enter:

CloudLink also works with Visionscape Software and with AutoVISION’s Emulator.

To connect to a software-based job running in FrontRunner or AutoVISION:

First, be sure the job is running, and then type the following into your browser’s address bar:

Note: You must specify port 8080 for a PC-based connection. If you are connecting to a PC-based system from a different machine on the network, use the IP address of the PC instead of the local host. For example, use http://10.20.1.234:8080 if the PC’s IP address is 10.20.1.234.

Once you press the Enter key, you should see the following home page:

D-2 Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide

Application Overview

The CloudLink Dashboard user interface is a single page web app-style application. Most web pages show information that can typically extend beyond the bottom of the browser window, requiring the user to scroll to see it. They typically contain links to other pages, which is how the user navigates around a web site.

In contrast, CloudLink behaves more like an application, expanding to fill the browser window, and automatically adapting to any changes in the dimensions of the window. Although CloudLink allows you to define and use multiple display pages, they are all contained within a single web page.

The browser stores a maximum of 50 images. The camera stores images, image thumbnails, and data records that can be requested via the web page or API. When memory is full, the camera will first delete full-size images, then thumbnails, and ultimately the data records on a first in-first out basis.

This is a typical view of a CloudLink page.

CloudLink Web HMI

Note: CloudLink does not currently support display of color images from color cameras.

Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide D-3

Appendix D CloudLink Web HMI

Application Bar

The Application Bar is located at the top of the CloudLink interface.

There are three components to the Appplication Bar:

• A set of page selection buttons. In the example above they appear as tabs, but the style can be customized if necessary.

• A logo. The position and contents of the logo can be customized.

• A toolbar. The toolbar provides access to various CloudLink settings and modes. The position and size of the toolbar can be customized.

D-4 Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide

Pages, Panels, and Widgets

The main area of CloudLink displays one of a number of pages. If there is more than one page defined, you can switch between them by using the page selection buttons on the application bar, or by using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Each page is organized into a set of regions called panels. The following image shows an empty page to demonstrate the arrangement of the panels on a page.

CloudLink Web HMI

Note the names, which start with .panel-. It is not necessary to know these names to use CloudLink; however they do have significance if there should be need for customization. Customizing CloudLink requires the modification of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The names shown correspond to the CSS class selector for that panel.

The purpose of the panels is to act as containers for a number of widgets. Each widget has the ability to visualize and interact with one or more items of inspection data such as Microscan Link values, inspection counters, timing information, or images.

Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide D-5

Appendix D CloudLink Web HMI

Each panel has special layout and behavior properties that can be exploited to create a wide variety of different layouts. The following table summarizes the position and properties of each panel:

-u <DB_User_name> becomes -u av where av replaces DB_User_name.

| = Mutually exclusive arguments. Choose one from the list. { } = Used with | to specify a list of choices for an argument. [ ] = Optional parameter. Important: Unless otherwise stated, commands will respond with !OK on

success and !ERROR on failure.

GETIMAGE <-transfer=ymodem> [-format={jpg|png}] [-quality ={0-100}] [-woi=left,top,right,bottom] [-inspection=n]

Initiates serial transfer of inspection image (RS-232 only).

Note: This command always returns the last (most recent) image.

-transfer=ymodem is currentlynot optional - only Ymodem protocol is

supported.

-format={jpg|png} specifies the format of the image. If omitted, the image format is JPG.

-quality=n specifies a JPG compression quality of n less than or equal to

100. The default quality is 80 if not specified. Note: The PNG format provides lossless image comp ression. If format is

set to PNG, the quality setting does not apply. woi=left,top,right,bottom specifies a rectangular area of the image to be

included in the output image. If omitted, the full image buffer is returned.

-inspection=n specifies the inspection from which to retrieve an image. The image will be from the first snapshot within that inspection. If not specified, the image will be from the first inspection that does contain a snapshot.

The following example will retrieve an image from the camera with these settings: Protocol: ymodem; Format: png; Quality: N/A; Inspection: second inspection.

GETIMAGE –transfer=ymodem –format=png –inspection=2

The following example will retrieve an image from the camera with these settings: Protocol: ymodem; Format: jpg (default); Quality: 50;

APPENDIX F Vision HAWK Boot Modes

This section describes the Vision HAWK’s Diagnostic Boot Mode and Boot Error Mode.

Modes

Vision HAWK Boot

Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide F-1

Appendix F Vision HAWK Boot Modes

Diagnostic Boot Mode

The Vision HAWK supports a special boot mode used for diagnostics and recovery. There are two ways in which the camera can be put into this mode:

1. This method requires an Ethernet connection between the host PC

and Vision HAWK. Power-on the unit and hold the AutoVISION button down until the green flash illuminates once. For C-Mount versions, hold the button down for approximately 30 seconds. The unit is now configured for IP address 192.168.0.10 with subnet mask

255.255.255.0. Establish a telnet connection between the host PC and Vision HAWK. The [SAFE-KERNEL] prompt is displayed.

2. This method requires a QX-1 and a serial connection between the

host PC running a terminal emulator and Vision HAWK camera. Power-on the unit and hold down the Tab key down for several seconds. The unit will boot to a [SAFE-KERNEL] prompt with communication settings of 115200, N, 8, 1 (baud, parity, data bits, stop bits).

Once the unit is booted, there are many possible actions the user can take. However, the most useful actions are listed below.

In rare situations, the boot job executed at camera startup can cause unexpected behavior. If this is the suspected case, it is possible to disable loading and running of the boot job at startup using the following command.

[SAFE-KERNEL] BP_UpdateStartupOptions(0, 0)

Note that the loading and running of the boot job is automatically re-enabled the next time a job is saved to camera flash from AutoVISION or FrontRunner.

At boot time, the system configures itself using a set of information known as boot parameters. To obtain a list of the current configuration’s boot parameters, issue the following command:

[SAFE-KERNEL] BP_Dump()

F-2 Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide

Should your device need to be configured with different IP information, follow the example below and substitute the appropriate settings for IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, respectively.

[SAFE-KERNEL] BP_UpdateIP(“192.168.0.10”, “255.255.255.0”, “192.168.0.100”)

It is possible to configure the system to acquire its IP address via DHCP or to use a static IP address. Issue the following command with a ‘0’ for static IP or a ‘1’ for DHCP.

[SAFE-KERNEL] BP_UpdateDHCP(0)

Boot Error Mode

The Vision HAWK enters an error mode on boot if it’s unable to fully load Visionscape. This mode is visually displayed to the user by flashing the Error LED along with the OUTPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, and OUTPUT 3 LEDs on the front of the unit. Additionally, this mode is represented as a “BOOT_ERR” in the Network Overview tool.

Modes

Vision HAWK Boot

If you encounter this error condition, you will need to reload the firmware using the Smart Camera Firmware Update Tool.
