1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on buying the Inca vision system!
An Inca is a high quality intelligent camera for image
acquisition and processing. Inca offers a complete vision
system that is ACCURATE, FAST, COMPACT and COSTEFFECTIVE. The high-resolution, high dynamic range
sensor provides the best basis for the development of a
very accurate vision system. Having all the processing
power close to the sensor and the capability of region of
interest processing reduces processing time and th us
faster systems can be realised. Because of this integrated
processor, display capabilities and industrial I/O, the Inca
offers a very compact total vision solution, without any
need for additional hardware like e.g. a PC. This makes an
Inca solution besides very cost-effective also transparent
and easy to work with. Finally the industrial housing
provides optimal possibilities for incorporating the Inca in
almost every (industrial) environment.
1.2 SUPPLIED PARTS
The supplied equipment comprises the following:
• One Inca 311 camera.
• One hardware manual (this document).
If any of these items is not included notify your supplier
immediately.
1.3 ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
The installation consists only of making the right
connections to the Inca. Start-up and running an
application is completely done under software control.
Software is not provided with the Inca, but is a separate
product that can be purchased from Industrial Vision. Refer
to chapter 3 for available software.
1.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual explains how to install your Inca camera and
how to check that it is working correctly.

2 HARDWARE
The Inca hardware consists of the following modules:
• TriMedia processor
• CMOS sensor
• IEEE 1394 (FireWire™) interface
• RS232 serial interface
• Video outputs VGA and CVBS
• Digital inputs and outputs
• Trigger input and flashlight output
• Reset input and watchdog output
• Four general purpose LED’s
• One system LED
• 8 MByte on-board flash memory
• 32 MByte SDRAM
2.1 TRIMEDIA PROCESSOR
The core of the Inca is the TriMedia 1300 processor. This
Very Long Instruction Word CPU (max. 5 parallel
instructions) with image co-process or run s on 143 MHz or
even 180 MHz. Among others, this processor handles:
Image and control data flows
Storage of acquired images. The images are stored in the
32 MByte on-board SDRAM.
Processing of the image stored in on-board SDRAM
Interaction with its environment for product information and
measurement results
Programming this TriMedia processor can be done using
the Rhapsody C/C++ software package or a graphic al
development environment called Clicks. The TriMedia part
of this software is based on the real time operating system
pSos™. Especially for high-end vision applications this is
very important, because in this way the timing of the
application is deterministic, this in contrast to programs
running in Windows™.
Clicks allow application engineers to graphically compose
the tasks to perform. Without the need of programming
expertise this tool is easily accessible for most engineers
and offers a very natural and interactive way to realize your
application.

2.2 CMOS SENSOR
2.2.1 Inca 311
In the Inca 311 a monochrome sensor PCS2112-LM from
Zoran is implemented. This high performance CMOS
imaging sensor has an extreme ‘uniform pixel array’ and
an extremely low ‘fixed-pattern noise’ because of its
‘Distributed Pixel Amplifier’ architecture. The following
main features, supported by the Inca 311, are available:
• 1280 x 1024 Pixels
• 10 bit ADC resolution
• 2/3” sens or housing
• One region of interest
• Programmable exposure time
• Mirror an d flipped scan modes
• 16 MHz or 24 MHz pixelclock
• Full frame rate 9.3 or 14 frames per second
• Programmable gain 0..14 dB
• Dynamic range 66dB
• Synthetic test image
• Decimation factor 2 and 4 for higher frame rates of
sub- sampled images
2.3 CAMERA CONNECTIONS
The rear side of the camera gives the user a great number
of possibilities for interfacing the camera.
• IEEE 1394 ( also known as Firewire™)
• One trigger input and one output for flash control
• Digital input 6 bits optically isolated
• Digital output 6 bits optically isolated
• RS232
• Camera reset
• Watchdog
• VGA and CVBS for display purposes
