Introduction EoSens CL Camera Manual
2 Introduction
The CMOS high speed camera EoSens is a high resolution camera with 1280x1024 pixel.
Benefits of CMOS technology are high speed, random access to pixels with free programmability and low power.
The camera uses industry-standard C-Mount or F-Mount lenses. The sensor diagonal is 22.9
mm with square pixels measuring 14 µm.
Free programmability means that the user is free to define the region of interest by size and
position and the speed of data output. The frame rate can be selected between 1 fps and
several thousand fps depending on resolution and video data width.
With a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixel, 500 fps (MC1362/63) can be output via the “Full
Camera Link®” Interface.
2.1 Top level specifications
High resolution: 1280x1024 pixel CMOS sensor
up to 1024 gray levels (10bit resolution)
up to 110 full frames/s for MC1360/61
up to 500 full frames/s for MC1362/63
arbitrary region of interest
very high sensitivity
14 µm square pixels
electronic “Freeze Frame” shutter
low blooming
programmable via CameraLink® serial interface
asynchronous trigger
small, compact housing
wide power supply range
2.2 Electronic “Freeze Frame” Shutter
Preceding exposure, the contents of all light sensitive elements is cleared. When exposure terminates, accumulated charge is transferred to an analog memory associated which each pixel.
It stays there until it is read out (and discharged) by the A/D conversion cycle.
As all light sensitive elements are exposed at the same time, even fast moving objects are
captured without geometric distortion.

There are no serviceable parts inside the camera. The camera may not be opened, otherwise
guarantee is lost.
Use dry, soft lens-cleaning tissue for cleaning lenses and, if necessary, the sensors window.

Hardware EoSens CL Camera Manual
3 Hardware
3.1 Camera Link® interface
Camera Link® is designed for digital cameras in machine vision applications. A “Full Camera
Link®” interface can transfer up to 80 bits of data at a rate of max. 680 Mbytes/sec.
3.1.1 Serial interface
The communication via the serial interface is incorporated in the Base Camera Link® interface.
3.2 Power supply
The camera needs a DC supply voltage between 8 … 24V at a power consumption of 5 Watt
max.
See also chapter connector pinning.
Before applying power to the camera we strongly recommend to verify the used
pins of the power connector, the polarity (+/-) of the leads and the supply voltage.
The camera may only be used with a supply voltage according to the camera specification. Connecting a lower or higher supply voltage, AC voltage, reversal
polarity or using wrong pins of the power connector may damage the camera. If
doing so, the warranty will expire immediately.
3.3 Status LED
A dual color LED on the camera backplane shows the operating condition of the EoSens.
LED orange... The EoSens is configuring the internal FPGA. No other activity is possible.
LED green... The EoSens is fully operational.
LED off... If LED is off, despite the camera is powered, data is stored to the internal
EEPROM. No other activity is possible.
LED red... The microcontroller detected a wrong checksum or the FPGA could not be
loaded because of wrong FPGA configuration data. The camera is not
functional. Try to reload configuration data.
LED red blinking... Data is loaded to microcontroller or FPGA from the PC or the camera
verifies the checksum. No other activity is possible.

Initial setup EoSens CL Camera Manual
5 Initial setup
The EoSens camera is delivered with initial parameters and therefore does not need to be
configured via the serial link.
5.1 Serial number and firmware revision
Serial number and firmware revision is provided in EoSens non volatile memory. Use :v
command (Read serial number and firmware revision) to read serial number and firmware
revision. The serial number is also marked on the type plate of the camera.
5.2 PowerUpProfile
The PowerUpProfile is the content of all camera registers to be loaded from non-volatile
memory after power up.
5.3 Camera profile
The actual set of parameters is called Camera Profile. All changes of parameters by the serial
link is reflected in the Camera Profile. On command the Camera Profile is saved to 8 user
profiles or the PowerUpProfile. It is loaded from the PowerUpProfile, 8 user profiles or 8
factory profiles. The camera profile is volatile and must be stored to the PowerUpProfile to be
reactivated on next power up.
5.4 Factory profiles
The factory profiles can be read but not written by the user. They are factory preset to the
settings described below.

Configuration EoSens CL Camera Manual
6 Configuration
The content of all EoSens registers is called a profile. There is space in non volatile memory
for 17 profiles: The PowerUpProfile, 8 user profiles and 8 factory profiles.
Any change of a specific register through the serial interface is immediately processed and
written to the volatile part of the memory and gets lost when power goes down. A command
must be used to store the actual setting in non volatile memory. After power-up the PowerUpProfile is loaded from the non-volatile to the volatile part of the memory.
A load or write command exchanges data between the camera profile and one of the eight
user profiles. The eight factory profiles can be read but not be written by any command. All
values are given in hexadecimal notation, e.g.: 0xff or 0ffh = 255.
Commands:
ASCII strings are used to change camera parameters. All commands start with a colon
followed by the command character. Note that the commands are case sensitive. The
baudrate can not be saved. Therefore the camera always defaults to 9600 baud after power
on or reset.
After a command has been recognized, processing is immediate for all commands but the
save command (:p). This needs a EEPROM write time. An answer is provided with read type
commands (e.g. :v, :w), or, if the command acknowledge flag is set, after processing of each
command an ACK or NAK character. Processing of wrong commands is stopped immediately
on recognizing the error. A new command must start with a colon.
All unknown commands will return NAK. After the colon the maximum time between the char acters must not exceed 2.7 sec., else the command will terminate with NAK. This prevents the
parser from hanging in the input if a command is not entered complete.
All commands return the actual value by sending '?' as parameter. Some commands then also
return the actual possible value range.

6.2 Read camera information
6.2.1 Read serial number and firmware revision, command :v
The serial number and the firmware revision can be read with the :v command.
Command: :v
Response(e.g.): #01234-B2.02-V1.18-F1.10
Serial number
of the camera FPGA firmware version
Microcontroller bootloader Microcontroller application
firmware version firmware version
The answer is followed by a CR (0x0d) trailer.
6.2.2 Read identifier, command :V
The identifier offers information about the camera type and camera functions. It consists of 8
bytes, which are delivered as 16 ASCII characters.
Command: :V
Response (e.g.): 1362000003040303
definition of additional functions or features, 4 bytes
reserved bytes
camera type, e.g. 1362 = MC1362
The answer is followed by a CR (0x0d) trailer.
6.2.3 Read camera temperature, command :T
To control the temperature inside , the camera disposes an internal temperature sensor. The
temperature inside the camera can be read out in steps of 1°. The values are delivered in
ASCII characters.
Command: :T
Response(e.g.): 34
The answer is followed by a CR (0x0d) trailer.
The temperature Sensor is able to deliver values of –128°C to +128°C.
Take care that the temperature of the camera does not exceed the specified case temperature range.

6.3 Profile processing
All camera settings are loaded or stored as complete data blocks (= Profiles).
EoSens full (MC1362-63) has 17 profiles consisting of 8 factory profiles, 8 user profiles and a
power up profile.
EoSens base (MC1360-61) has 9 profiles consisting of 4 factory profiles, 4 user profiles and a
power up profile.
6.3.1 Write user profile, command :p
The actual Profile is transferred to one of the eight user profiles or the PowerUpProfile. Profile
“c“ is the PowerUpProfile.
Command: :p<n> <n> = 0 ... 7, c for EoSens full
<n> = 0 ... 3, c for EoSens base
Issue this command only, if the profile was successfully tested.
6.3.2 Load user profile, command :g
Load one of eight user profiles or the PowerUpProfile to the actual camera profile. Profile “c“ is
the PowerUpProfile
Command: :g<n> <n> = 0 ... 7, c for EoSens full
<n> = 0 ... 3, c for EoSens base
6.3.3 Load factory profile, command :f
The eight factory profiles can be read but not changed by the user.
Command: :f<n> <n> = 0 ... 7, c for EoSens full
<n> = 0 ... 3, c for EoSens base
