  • Page 48: Packet Size And Maximum Transmission Unit (Mtu)

    11.3 Packet Size and Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Network packets can be of different sizes. The size depends on the network components  employed.  When  using  GigE Vision - compliant devices, it is generally recommended ® to use larger packets. On the one hand the overhead per packet is smaller, on the other  hand larger packets cause less CPU load. The packet size of UDP packets can differ from 576 Bytes up to the MTU. The MTU describes the maximal packet size which can be handled by all network com- ponents involved. In principle modern network hardware supports a packet size of 1518 Byte, which is spec- ified in the network standard. However, so-called "Jumbo frames" are on the advance as Gigabit Ethernet continues to spread. "Jumbo frames" merely characterizes a packet size  exceeding 1500 Bytes. Baumer LXG cameras with Visual Applets can handle a MTU of up to 16384 Bytes.

  • Page 49: Inter Packet Gap" (Ipg)

    11.4 "Inter Packet Gap" (IPG) To achieve optimal results in image transfer, several Ethernet-specific factors need to be  considered when using Baumer LXG cameras with Visual Applets. Upon starting the image transfer of a camera, the data packets are transferred at maxi- mum transfer speed (1 Gbit/sec). In accordance with the network standard, Baumer em- ploys a minimal separation of 12 Bytes between two packets. This separation is called  "Inter Packet Gap" (IPG). In addition to the minimal PD, the GigE Vision standard stipu- ® lates that  the PD be scalable (user-defined). ◄ Figure 30 Packet  Delay  (PD)  be- tween the packets 11.4.1 Example 1: Multi Camera Operation – Minimal IPG Setting the IPG to minimum means every image is transfered at maximum speed.

  • Page 50: Example 2: Multi Camera Operation - Optimal Ipg

    11.4.2 Example 2: Multi Camera Operation – Optimal IPG A better method is to increase the IPG to a size of optimal IPG = packet size + 2 × minimal IPG In this way both data packets can be transferred successively (zipper principle), and the  switch does not need to buffer the packets. Max. IPG: On the Gigabit Ethernet the max. IPG and the data packet must not exceed 1 Gbit.

  • Page 51: Frame Delay

    11.5 Frame Delay Another approach for packet sorting in multi-camera operation is the so-called Frame De- lay, which was introduced to Baumer Gigabit Ethernet cameras in hardware release 2.1. Due to the fact, that the currently recorded image is stored within the camera and its transmission starts with a predefined delay, complete images can be transmitted to the    PC at once. The following figure should serve as an example: ◄ Figure 34 Principle of the Frame delay. Due to process-related circumstances, the image acquisitions of all cameras end at the same time.

    11.8 Packet Resend Due to the fact, that the GigE Vision standard stipulates using a UDP – a stateless user ® datagram protocol – for data transfer, a mechanism for saving the "lost" data needs to be employed. Here, a resend request is initiated if one or more packets are damaged during transfer  and – due to an incorrect checksum – rejected afterwards. On this topic one must distinguish between three cases: 11.8.1 Normal Case In the case of unproblematic data transfer, all packets are transferred in their correct order ...

    11.8.3 Fault 2: Lost Packet at the End of the Data Stream In case of a fault at the end of the data stream, the application will wait for incoming packets for a predefined time. When this time has elapsed, the resend request is  triggered and the "lost" packets will be resent. Figure 45 ► Resending of lost pack- ets at the end of the data stream.

    11.9 Message Channel The asynchronous message channel is described in the GigE Vision standard and of- ® fers the possibility of event signaling. There is a timestamp (64 bits) for each announced event, which contains the accurate time the event occurred. Each event can be activated and deactivated separately.

    11.10 Action Commands The basic idea behind this feature was to achieve a simultaneous trigger for multiple cameras. Action Command Description Action Command Trigger used to send a trigger to all connected cameras. Therefore  a  broadcast  ethernet  packet  was  implemented.  This  packet  can  be  used  to  induce a trigger as well as other actions.

    Start-Stop-Behaviour 12.1 Start / Stop Acquisition (Camera) Once the image acquisition is started, three steps are processed within the camera: ▪ Determination of the current set of image parameters ▪ Exposure of the sensor ▪ Readout of the sensor. Afterwards a repetition of this process takes place until the camera is stopped. Stopping the acquisition means that the process mentioned above is aborted.
