Overview

The XCI-SX1/V3 is a monochrome intelligent camera that can capture and process pictures, and control peripheral devices by itself.

Features

High image quality

The XCI-SX1 (SXGA) has a progressive scan CCD of 1,450,000 pixels. The XCI-V3 (VGA) has a progressive scan CCD of 330,000 pixels. This camera produces high-resolution images. By adopting square pixels, images can be processed using the original aspect ratio without a converting procedure.

Various mode settings

You can adjust the following mode settings.

• Gain

•Read mode: normal /binning

• Partial scan

• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter

• Shutter speed

• LUT

•3 × 3 filter (XCI-V3 only)

Partial scan

The camera module can limit the effective video output area to achieve high frame rates, enabling highspeed image processing.

Binning

By binning two pixels that align vertically or horizontally, you can acquire a frame rate twice that of the normal mode vertically, and sensitivity twice that of normal mode horizontally.

Built-in processor

• x86 CPU

• 256MB DDR-SDRAM

• 128MB Compact Flash

PC standard input/output interface

•LAN connector

About the camera functions

This unit has the following camera modes. Set your required camera mode in the GUI application in accordance with your requirements. For details regarding operation of the GUI application, see page 13.

Mode Application

Normal mode To output continuous normal images

To capture a high-speed moving object with vivid clarity

Trigger mode To capture a high-speed moving object with vivid

clarity

Binning mode To output images at a higher frame rate or higher

sensitivity

Partial scan mode To output images at a higher frame rate

Normal mode

This value depends on the shutter settings.

4.0 – 4.5 V

0 V

This mode can be set on the SHUTTER screen in the GUI application for camera settings. For the XCI-SX1, output of all individual video signals [1280 (H) × 1024 (V)] is at 15 frames per second as continuous video. For the XCI-V3, output of all individual video signals [640 (H) × 480 (V)] is at 60 frames per second as continuous video. Continuous normal images can be captured in this mode. When you set the shutter speed higher, you can capture the high-speed movement of objects with vivid clarity.

Functions

Trigger mode

This mode can be set on the SHUTTER screen in the GUI application for camera settings. In this mode video signals begin to accumulate by synchronizing with external trigger input. The video signals are output after the exposure is finished. The high-speed movement of objects can be captured with vivid clarity in this mode. Set the shutter speed in accordance with the recording conditions.

Select the shutter speed from the following:

[2, 1, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/ 1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000, 1/25000, 1/50000, Trigger Width] (sec)

When selecting Trigger Width

The mode is set to trigger pulse width detection mode. The following is the formula for the shutter speed T[s]:

XCI-SX1: T[s] = Trigger width + 6µs XCI-V3: T[s] = Trigger width + 5µs

You can also set the following on the SHUTTER screen in the GUI application for camera settings:

• Trigger polarity This is set to select a trigger input polarity for the camera.

• Trigger delay function This function is to delay trigger input to this unit, so the exposure start time can be delayed until the set time. You can fine adjust the capture timing without changing the camera position even after the camera is installed.

Trigger delay setting range:

[0 to 4 (sec)] (In units of 1ms)

Binning mode

This mode can be set on the HIGH RATE SCAN screen in the GUI application for camera settings. This mode is used to increase the frame rate and/or sensitivity by adding pixels in both vertical and horizontal directions. Select one of the following modes depending on the binning method.

•1 × 2 (V-binning) mode In this mode the frame rate almost doubles and the data volume becomes half by adding two vertical lines. When the shutter speed is set, the sensitivity almost doubles. For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes 1280 (H) × 512 (V). For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes 640 (H) × 240 (V).

•2 × 1 (H-binning) mode In this mode the sensitivity almost doubles and the data volume becomes half by adding two horizontal pixels. As the horizontal synchronization signal frequency is the same as when in normal mode, the frame rate doesn’t change. For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes 640 (H) × 1024 (V). For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes 320(H) × 480 (V).

•2 × 2 (HV-binning) mode In this mode the frame rate and sensitivity almost double and the data volume becomes 1/4 by adding two vertical lines and two horizontal pixels. Moreover, when the shutter speed is set, the sensitivity almost doubles again. For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes 640 (H) × 512 (V). For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes 320 (H) × 240 (V).

• Software trigger function A trigger is generated within this unit to capture a still image at any timing.

Partial scan mode

Functions

This mode can be set using the HIGH RATE SCAN screen in the GUI application for camera settings. In this mode, the desired rectangle area is read out, and the redundant image area is transmitted at high speed to raise the frame rate. The read out area can be set separately as an effective image area vertically and horizontally. For the XCI-SX1, the effective image area is vertically divided into 32 areas and horizontally divided into 10 areas. You can select a specific portion among those from 1 block to 32 blocks vertically in

units of one block separately or succesively, and 3 blocks to 10 blocks horizontally in minimum units of successive 3 blocks. For the XCI-V3, the effective area is vertically divided into 16 areas and horizontally divided into 10 areas. You can select a specific portion among those from 1 block to 16 blocks vertically. Partial scan can be individually set in a horizontal or vertical direction. The tables below show approximate frame rate values when the partial scan mode is used.
