1 General Information

VCSBC64XX Single Board Camera with two mounted sensor boards

The VCSBC64XX is an extremely fast and innovative intelligent Stereo single board camera series and one of the fastest intelligent cameras all over with a computational power of 7200 MIPS. It has 256 MB DDR-RAM, 32 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage and can be equipped with multiple head options.

Like with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operation system VCRT allows multitasking. This means for instance that user interface commands can execute in parallel without stopping the inspection process.

The VCSBC64XX has a video output onto a PC via 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface and also a HighSpeed Trigger input with absolute constant capture delay, which allows absolutely jitter-free image acquisition and high precise synchronizations of the two heads even at very high-speed processes. 12-24 V digital IOs, additional IO ports and an RS232 serial interface are available as well.

Whereas a standard progressive scan camera gets a trigger, starts exposure and then reads out the pixel data, the VCSBC64XX has optimized the image acquisition process so that exposure, image transfer into memory and image processing can be done in parallel. This means if exposure time and image processing time is not longer than the transfer time, the full frame rate can be maintained.

The VCSBC64XX offers thus an extremely inexpensive entrance into the world of smart 3D applications.

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 6

2 Basic Structure

The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One channel of video input is digitized. The image is stored in SDRAM memory using one of the 64 DMA channels (EDMA).

Unlike most other Vision Component Smart Cameras, the VCSBC64XX does not have a direct video output. However if monitoring of the camera image is required, this can be done by downloading via Fast Ethernet port to PC and display on screen.

The TMS320C64+ DSP is one of the fastest 32bit DSPs. It features a RISC-like instruction set, up to 8 instructions can be executed in parallel, a L1 cache memory (32 Kbytes) and a 256 Kbytes L2 cache on chip. Its high speed 64-channel DMA controller gives additional performance. The DSP uses fast external DDR-SDRAM as main memory. A flash EPROM provides non-volatile memory.

4.2.2 Electrical specifications digital IO s ST5 interface

The camera has 4 PLC compatible inputs and 4 PLC compatible high-current outputs for controlling machines and processes.

!

Inputs and outputs are not galvanically decoupled from the supply voltage.

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 16

A protective diode ensures that the poles of the supply voltage from the power supply of the PLC can not be swapped. The outputs are floating when low - pull down resistor required.

Input Signals IO interface

Nominal voltage: 12 – 24 V Absolute maximum voltage: voltages greater than 40 V can destroy the inputs Type: Circuit GND directly connected Input current: 1 mA @ 24V Threshold value: 10 V Internal signal delay: No delay for direct IO access

The PLC-compatible inputs (24-V level, the positive signal is connected) include input protection circuits. A minimum voltage of 10V is required to reliably sense a logic high signal.

Output Signals IO Interface

Operating voltage: external source 12 – 24 V Absolute maximum voltage: voltages greater than 40 V can destroy the outputs Type: Circuit GND directly connected Switching voltage: positive switching (PNP) Current: max. 400 mA per output Absolute maximum current:

total currents greater than 1000 mA can destroy plugs and cables Always consider the total sum of all output currents

Switching power: max. 9.6 W (24 V * 400 mA) per output Reverse voltage protection yes, for external voltage Protection against inductive

loads:

yes

Resistance when switched on: 0.2 - 0.8 Ohm Short circuit protection: full protection

The PLC outputs feature a highly integrated MOSFET, high-side switch with built-in protection. It is possible to switch inductive or capacitive loads. The protective feature of the outputs will produce pulses on the outputs, if the limiting values are exceeded. Output drivers feature short circuit end thermal overload protection

Maximum Operating voltage and corresponding current:

24V 350mA

3

Maximum operational Voltage (including ripple): 30V

Power must be connected to the 12 pin ST5 I/O connector.

Camera power is regulated inside the camera, so only an unregulated power source of 12 V to 24V is required. The camera is, however, very sensitive to power supply interruption. Please make sure, that the voltage never exceeds the limits of < 9V, > 30V even for a short period of time. In case of trouble it is recommended to backup the power supply by a capacitor or a battery large enough to prevent power interruptions.

4.3.2 Electrical specifications ST6 camera interface

Trigger IO Specifications:

The board features two fast CMOS trigger inputs (for use as image capture trigger) and two corresponding CMOS trigger outputs (as strobe-light trigger). Since the signals are fast at a very low noise margin, it is recommended to keep the cable as short as possible. Use twisted pair or even coaxial cable for this purpose. The trigger input assures a constant image capture delay without jitter.

The SBC64XX features at the time only synchronized triggering (both images triggered simultaneously). Trigin A and trigin B must be triggered together (pins 2 and 4 have to be connected), otherwise triggering will not work!!

!

This limitation will be removed with a software update (future version of VCRT).

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 20

Electrical Specification of trigger and encoder inputs:

input voltage: Signal LOW -0.3V – 0.8V Input voltage: Signal HIGH 2.2V – 5V input current: N/A limiting resistor: none reverse voltage protection: none

Image trigger on rising or falling input signal works as before – see section 6.5.3 for details.

The trigger inputs and outputs are very sensitive and not galvanically separated. Opto isolation of the driving circuit is therefore strongly recommended. The following page shows suitable circuits for trigger inputs and outputs.

!

Please note that inputs and outputs are not protected against over current. The outputs are neither protected against short circuit nor reverse voltage spikes from inductive loads.

6 Programming VCSBC64XX Cameras

The VCSBC64XX operating system includes some additional functions, mainly for the control of the additional interfaces. Without direct VGA output some video control functions are not implemented for this camera. This manual describes the differences between the standard VCRT 5 operating system functions and the special function library of the VCSBC64XX. For programming please also consult the

VCRT 5 and

VCLIB 2.0 and VCLIB 3.0 manuals (see the list of references at the beginning of this manual).

6.1 Special Software requirements for the VCSBC64XX

The following table shows the minimum compatible setup options using the VCSBC64XX camera:

Code Composer Studio Version

VCRT PC Lib Version VCLIB Version VCRT Camera OS

Version: CCS 3.3 or CCS 4.x (C6000)

VCRT 5.29 VCLIB 3.10 VCRT 5.29.2

Refer to the “Tech News” section, under “Support and Download” on the VC website for an overview of the latest compatible set up.

The VCRT PC lib Operation System PC library, the VCLIB Image Processing Library as well as the VCRT Camera Operation System can be downloaded from Support section of the Vision Components Website. Software manuals are located in the “Registered User Area”. This download area can be a ccessed after registration and log in on the VC Website. Software updates are available from the “Customer Area”. For access to the customer area please register your Vision Components development software for VC cameras with TI processor. Software registration can be done after logging in using the license key code shipped with each development bundle. For this please follow the “Register your Software” link under the “User Menu”.

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 28

6.2 Ethernet Communication

The default camera IP address is 192.168.0.65 – as with all Ethernet cameras from VC. The IP address can be changed to a different loading a #IP file into camera memory. Refer to the “Getting Started VC Smart Cameras” guide for further details.

The camera supports DHCP server IP address allocation. In order to use DHCP allocation, the entry “DHCP” needs to be added to the #IP file as shown:

DHCP IP: 192.168.0.81 MSK: 255.255.255.0 GTW: 192.168.0.1

The camera uses the specified IP address if DHCP allocation is not successful. If no IP address is specified in the #IP file, the camera falls back to the default address:

192.168.0.65

Please use DHCP server functions to determine the IP address allocated to the camera. Most server show a list of mac addresses and corresponding IP addresses or allow to allocate fixed IP addresses to a certain mac address. Determine the mac address of the camera using the shell command “type #ID” to prior to using DHCP IP address allocation!

The “Getting Started VC Smart Cameras” and section 6.4.1 include advice on re-setting a camera with unknown or invalid IP Address.

6.3 Using FTP with the VCSBC64XX

The use of any standard ftp client is now possible. The following server commands have been added: SYSTEM,PWD,CWD,LIST,DEL Programs have to be uploaded as “out” files into the camera flash memory. Ascii files like the autoexec or #IP files can be uploaded as “*.txt” files – the conversion into *.msf” files is not required.

6.4 Preventing Autoexec Execution / IP number reset

Preventing the execution of an Autoexec file by attempting a connection with the camera (as described in the programming tutorial) does not work, due to the increased proc essor speed. Resetting the camera using a keypad as with the VC20XX cameras is also not possible.

There are three ways of preventing the Autoexec execution and resetting the IP address:

Option 1:

1. Upload an empty autoexec/ #IP file via FTP into the camera memory, overwriting the existing file(s).

2. Hardware reset of camera.

Option 2: CPU reset with help of an Emulator.

Option 3: Resetting the camera with help of the “VCnet Recovery Tool” as described in the following

section.

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 29

6.4.1 Resetting the Camera with help of the VCnet Recovery Tool

A new tool – the “Vcnet Recovery Tool” is provided for resetting the IP address of the TI-based VC Smart Cameras from VC4XXX. Vcnet Recovery is supported from camera OS VCRT 5.21.

In order to use the VCnet Recovery tool, follow the steps below:

1. Download and install the “

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.XX” on

your PC (Download from

www.sun.com - > Downloads - > J2SE v 1.4.2_11 JRE ).

2. Download VCnet Recovery Tool for VC40XX and VCSBC40XX from www.vision–

comp.com -> Service & Support.

3. Unpack the “vcnet1.2.zip” folder a directory on your hard drive (for instance C:\ti\Util…).

4. Open the Dos command line window and change to the directory containing “vcnet.jar”.

5. Execute the following command from the DOS Window "java -jar vcnet.jar -snr 5912345" , by specifying the camera serial number as shown. This command sends vcp packets via UDP broadcast for the next 15 seconds. Sending this command resets the corresponding camera to the default IP address and bypasses Autoexec execution. Further options below.

6. Boot the corresponding camera (power on) during the next 15 seconds. During start up the camera listens 0.5 seconds for cvp pac ket s send with vcnet.jar.

7. If a valid vcp packet is received from camera an answer packet is sent (see example below). The camera continues booting in standard configuration:

Default IP address: 192.168.0.65 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: none

An autoexec in flash memory is not executed.

Example of resetting a VCSBC40XX, S/N 0100151:

C:\Programme\VCnet>java -jar vcnet.jar -snr 0100151 VCnet Recovering Tool Version 1.2 - Copyright Vision Components 2005

6.5 Special VCRT functions for programming VCSBC64XX cameras

This section explains the

specifics of programming VCSBC64XX cameras.

6.5.1 General settings

Programming the VCSBC64XX requires at least the VCRT library version 5.29.6.

To ensure proper functioning of all features of the VCSBC64XX, the following define is needed (has to be defined BEFORE vcrt.h and register.h.

!

#define DM648

6.5.2 Compiling and linking with the VCSBC64XX

It is advised to build your C-code as relocatable code (standard setting in the VC template Code Composer project files from VCRT 5.29). In this case VCRT manages the program memory allocation by itself (see Programming Tutorial for more details).

For customers who prefer absolute linking, please pay attention to the fact that the memory start address has changed in comparison to previous VC cameras. In your link file, replace the memory section with this one:

MEMORY { PMEM: o = 0E0100000h l = 100000h /* intended for initialization */ BMEM: o = 0E0090000h l = 40000h /* .bss, .system, .stack, .cinit */ }

6.5.3 Image capture with VCSBC64XX cameras

Picture taking with the SBC64XX camera works using the same functions as for other VC Smart Cameras (tpict(), tenable(), capture_request()…).

The difference is that a second image buffer is allocated at startup, for the image of the second sensor head. This second buffer is situated directly after the first image buffer in memory.

When a capture function is called, the VCSBC64XX automatically takes two images, synchronously.

This second image buffer is defined by its start address CAPT_START2. This system variable has been added to VCRT and can be read or modified the same way as CAPT_START (first image buffer).

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 31

6.5.4 IO Ports Functions

The SCB64XX camera features 8 IO ports on the Extension Connector ST7. These ports can be programmed with the following functions.

io_port_init intialize io ports to all input

synopsis I32 io_port_init (void)

description The function io_port_init() initializes all IO ports and sets them all to

INPUT. This function is called automatically at camera startup.

io_port_in read inputs

synopsis I32 io_port_in (void)

description The function io_port_in() returns the input values. Only the 8 last bits of

the integer value are relevant. IO_0 corresponds to the least significant bit. Input is high when bit set to 1, low when bit set to 0.

io_port_dir set port direction (input or output)

synopsis I32 io_port_dir (int direction)

description The function io_port_dir() sets the direction of the IOs. Only the 8 last

bits of the integer value are relevant. IO_0 corresponds to the least significant bit. The IO is an input when bit set to 0, and an output when bit set to 1.

io_port_out set outputs

synopsis I32 io_port_out (int out)

description The function io_port_out() sets or resets the outputs. Only the 8 last bits

of the integer value are relevant. IO_0 corresponds to the least significant bit. The output is low when bit set to 0, and high when bit set to 1.

io_port_int_enable enable IOPORT interrupt

synopsis I32 io_port_int_enable (void)

description The function

io_port_int_enable()enables the IOPORT

interrupt.

VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 32

io_port_int_disable disable IOPORT interrupt

synopsis I32 io_port_int_disable (void)

description The function io_port_int_disable()disables the IOPORT

interrupt. This is the default state, due to floating IOs which would constantly trigger interrupts.

VCSBC40XX.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC40XX Smart Cameras B

Appendix B: Spectral Transmission of IR Filter

This IR cut filter is incorporated in every VCSBC64XX camera with C- mount lens holder. The IR filter can be removed if required. In this case, special care must be taken not to damage the CCD sensor. If the camera is used without IR filter it is important to replace it by a clear glass filter of the same size. The C-mount flange distance from the CCD is accurately adjusted for the use of the IR filter – removing the filter decreases the length of the optical path and it may become impossible to focus some lenses to a larger working distance.

If the IR filter is not to be used, please order your camera with a clear glass filter or contact Vision Components for obtaining a glass filter.

!

The order numbers for the clear glass window is: EK000624 The order number for the IR cut filter (standard) is: EK000625
