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 320 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
• Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseT 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 LEDs
• 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 18 0 M H z.
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 allows 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 320
In the Inca 320 a monochrome sensor IBIS5A-1300 from
FillFactory is implemented. This sensor is dedicated to
industrial machine vision solutions and has both a rolling
and a synchronous shutter. High dynamical range scenes
can be captured using the double or multiples slope
functionality. The following main features, supported by the
Inca 320, are available:
• 1280 x 1024 Pixels
• 10 bit 40 Msample ADC resolution
• 2/3” sens or housing
• One region of interest
• Programmable exposure time
• 10, 20 or 40 MHz pixelclock
• Full framerate 27 frames per second
• Optical dynamic range 64 dB in single slope,
up to 100 dB in multi slope.
• Synthetic test image
• Decimation factor 2 for higher frame rates of sub-
sampled images
• Digital output 6 bits optically isolated
• RS232
• Camera reset
• Watchdog
• VGA and CVBS for display purposes

2.3 CAMERA CONNECTIONS
The rear side of the camera gives the user a great number
of possibilities for interfacing the camera.
• 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet
• One trigger input and one output for flash control

2.3.1 10BaseT/100BaseT
For the interconnection of the Inca camera to the host PC
a so-called 10BaseT (for 10Mbs) or 100BaseT (for
100Mbs) connection is used, which is a twisted pair
connection for Ethernet. For this link the PC must be
equipped with an Ethernet Controller.
In order to be able to control multiple Inca 320 cameras a
immediate when the trigger input is signaled. A rising or a
falling edge on the input can indicate the trigger.
The flash output can control the external flash unit if
required. The active sta te (high or low) can be
programmed, see the note for side effect.
TRIGGER / FLASH
decent knowledge of how an Ethernet network has to be
configured is required. This manual assumes the reader
has this knowledge.

Figure 2-2 Inca 320 Ethernet Co nnector
The Ethernet connector has two LEDs. LED A is the
activity LED and will blink when there is activity. LED B will
be lit when the connection is using 100MBs.
To connect a single Inca camera directly to a PC, a
crossed twisted pair cable is required.
2.3.2 Trigger and Flash
The Inca has an optically isolated trigger input and flash
output.
The trigger input enables the feature to prepare the
capture of an image. If the trigger is enabled by an
