    6.1. Menu - 13 - Data transmission Sensor  PC: Opens a window for controlling the data transfer from DMD-4 to the PC. Load Camera-Setup: Loads the sensor configuration of the desired camera (red button). This irrevocably overwrites the setup data of the PC.
  • Page 15 6.1. Menu - 14 - The blue blocks indicate an inactive time area. Time arreas, which are overlapped by two or more timezones are colored yellow. The priority within the four time zones is defined as going down from zone 1 to zone 4. Example: If zone 1 and zone 3 overlap, only zone 1 is active.

    6.1. Menu - 17 - Service tools: Opens a pull-down menu for controlling the following submenus: Sensor options: Program Firmware: The sensor is Flash-programmable. This means that the firmware can be transferred to the processors by a PC. Changing EPROMs and thus opening the device is not required.
  • Page 19: Change Ip-Settings

    6.1. Menu - 18 - Change IP- settings: Allows reading out and changing the actual IP-configuration of the sensor. Notes: Changing of the IP-address will always result a disconnection of the estab- lished network connection. If necessary the PC / laptop have to be switched to the new IP-address.

  • Page 21: Editor

    6.2 Channel setup - 20 - 6.2.2 Editor: The editor area with the camera picture of the corresponding channel is divided into 6480 parts, called cells. The sensor area is defined by all highlighted blocks of the cor- responding color. It is not necessary that all blocks are adjacent to each other. An overlapping of two or more areas is not allowed.
  • Page 22: Show All Areas

    6.2 Channel setup - 21 - 6.2.3 Picture control: For an exact overlay of the defined area the picture of the corresponding channel has to be displayed. You can receive a single picture from the connected sensor. Furthermore you can get a continuous live stream of up to 6-7 pictures / second, in or- der to control the analysis of the sensor.
  • Page 23: Area Parameters

    6.2 Channel setup - 22 - 6.2.5 Area parameters: Up to 3 different operation modes can be defined for each area. The displays of pa- rameters switch in according to the desired function. The meaning of each mode and the corresponding functions are described on the following pages: Areamode Every sensor area has parameters that can be edited inde- pendently from the other areas in this dialog box.
  • Page 24: Object Detection

    6.2 Channel setup - 23 - Object detection In the object mode all detected, contiguous cells are combined as one or more objects according to their position to each other. The object size and not the total number of activated cells will be compared to the defined number of maximum/minimum cells. Up to 32 independent objects can be detected within the defined area simultaneously.
  • Page 25: Perspective

    6.2 Channel setup - 24 - Perspective The sensor is detecting in addition to the object mode according to perspective pa- rameters. Two rectangles appear on the edit area for defining the position of the fore- ground and the background. Important: The number for the object size in the foreground / background (example of image: foreground 364, background 66) is only information to estimate the desired ob- ject size.
  • Page 26: Detail-Setup

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 25 - 6.3 Detail Setup: For each of the four channels special parameters can be set. The menu is devided in different areas. The validity of the current parameter is green displayed in the upper right edge ‚valid„. Via the switch buttons of timezone and cameras all important seto parameters can be directly adjusted.
  • Page 27: Relay Functions

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 26 - Relay functions: Defines the settings of the channel- and global relay. The definitions Retrigger and Re- settime are valid for both relays. Retrigger relay: If another alarm occurs during the time the relay is energized, the time is automatically prolonged by the configured time.
  • Page 28: Switch Relay

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 27 - Max. Break: Time within the sensor area stays inactive after exceeding the maximum permissible number of triggered cells (Min./Max.). Prevents repeatedly triggering after turning on room lights etc. Switch relay: The relay of the corresponding camera channel is energized for an alarm of the sensor area.
  • Page 29: Alarm (Strings)

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 28 - 6.3.3 Alarm: Allows the configuration and entry of a character string (alarm string) that is transmitted via the RS232/RS422- or Ethernet interface of the DMD-4 to peripheral devices like a switch or recording system Alarm strings can be defined for the main area and for the three prealarm areas of a camera channel.

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 29 - 6.3.4 Sabotage: Up to 3 different kinds of sabotage detections can be defined for each of the four channels: Video fail When a video signal fails – channel is activated (see Camera Tool Bar), no video signal has been applied to the input –...
  • Page 31: Logic

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 30 - 6.3.5 Logic: Each mainalarm area can be logically linked with the channel-own prealarm areas and the mainalarm areas of the other channels. This results in a higher switch security and ensures that temporal sequences are detected. First of all the mainalarm area to be defined is selected with the timezone- and channel- buttons.
  • Page 32: Expert

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 31 - 6.3.6 Expert: The settings of the expert menu are pre-configured for the most typical applications. In order to adapt the sensor in an optimal way to the real szenary the meaning of the following parameters are descripted: Ringbuffer: The DMD-4 scans the entire video picture 8 times per second.
  • Page 33: Object Parameters

    6.3 Detail-Setup - 32 - Morphing: If activated, tiny, divided objects will be combined to one object. This mode is helpful in situation of bad contrast to avoid the fragmentation of an object in several parts, which would be too small for the minimum object size. Shadow filter: Blurred objects and shadows will be ignored by the sensor.
