These are: • VS-1 Smart Cameras • Visionscape GigE cameras • Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O boards The DIO capability of the VS-1 Smart Camera is described in full in the VS-1 Smart Camera Guide.
  • Page 18 Chapter System Components Trigger Signal Requirements: Logic Low: 0 to 4.5 Vdc Logic High: 11 to 30 Vdc Current Input: 20ma (typical) Trigger Delay: 3usec (Minimum) Trigger Pulse Width: 2usec (Minimum) DebounceHigh: 0 to 5 usecs (User-Defined) DebounceLow: 0 to 5 usecs (User-Defined) Built-In Strobe Output The Visionscape GigE cameras incorporate an output for a strobe signal that is coordinated with image acquisition.
  • Page 19 Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards Extended discrete digital I/O is provided for GigE/PC based systems by two PCIe (PCI Express) add-in boards. These boards both provide 16 channels in and 16 channels out of optically isolated I/O at 24 volts nominal signal level.
  • Page 20 Chapter System Components Both DIO kits are supplied with a 1.5m cable (Shielded Cable with two 37-pin D-Sub Connectors) for connection to a 32 DIN rail mount terminal strip, the dimensions of which are shown below. 2-10 Visionscape GigE Camera Guide v4.1, November 2011...

  • Page 22 Chapter System Components Connector Pin Assignments are as shown below for each board. 98-000142-01 (Sourcing) 98-000130-01 (Sinking) Using Input Points for Triggering Acquisition Hardware input points located on the DIO board may be specified in the Visionscape Acquire Step to trigger acquisition. Acquisition can be specified on either the leading edge or trailing edge of a pulse.
  • Page 23 Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards Digital I/O Input Response Time The response time of Visionscape to a change of an input signal is a combination of the hardware and software response times. The hardware response time for all inputs is within 200?s from voltage change on an external pin to go through the optical isolation and be received by the PC.
  • Page 24 Chapter System Components within 400?s this is calculated by taking the 200?s hardware response for inputs + 200?s software response of the two changes at 100?s each. The above diagram represents the scenario of 4 input triggers transitioning simultaneously. After the voltage goes from high to low on the pins 0-3, it can take up to 200?s for the computer to register the level of inputs 0-3 and be read as logic highs.
  • Page 25: Input Opto Wiring

    Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards Field Wiring for Current Sourcing Configurations Input Wiring The input circuits of interface blocks of the current sourcing DIO board is illustrated in the image below. The signal inputs are isolated by opto- couplers (ready to accept current sinking output signals). The board therefore requires an external power supply to drive the inputs.
  • Page 26 Chapter System Components Digital I/O Trigger Wiring As noted above, the event notification on input lines is mono-directional. Inputs 0 to 7 can be used as a low-to-high trigger only, while inputs 8 to 15 can be used as a high-to-low trigger. In cases where trigger events are needed from both edges of a signal, the signal needs to be simultaneously wired to a low-to-high sensitive input pin and a high-to-low sensitive pin as shown in the above diagram.
  • Page 27: Output Opto Wiring

    Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards Connecting a Switch Input Output Wiring Connect the output signals to a current-driven controlled device such as a relay or LED. The connection requires an external power supply to feed currents. The board controls turning on/off the current-driven controlled device using a digital value.
  • Page 28 Chapter System Components The output circuits of interface blocks of the DIO-1616RL-PE are illustrated above. The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated output (current source type). Driving the output section requires an external power supply. The rated output current per channel is 100mA at maximum.
  • Page 29 Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards Field Wiring for Current Sinking Configurations Input Wiring Connect the input signals to a device which can be current-driven, such as a switch or transistor output device. The connection requires an external power supply to feed current. The board inputs the ON/OFF state of the current-driven device as a digital value.
  • Page 30: Output Circuit

    Chapter System Components Connecting a Switch Output Wiring Connect the output signals to a current-driven controlled device such as a relay or LED. The connection requires an external power supply to feed current. The board controls turning on/off the current-driven controlled device using a digital value.
  • Page 31 Visionscape PCIe Digital I/O Boards The output circuits of interface blocks of this product is illustrated in the image above. The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated, open- collector output (current sink type). Driving the output section requires an external power supply.
  • Page 32: External Strobe And Sensor

    Chapter System Components External Strobe and Sensor For continuous motion or high-speed indexing applications, an external strobe and sensor may be required to freeze each part before the image can be acquired. When choosing your part sensor, you must consider the time interval between the part passing into the sensing zone and an electrical signal being generated.
  • Page 33: Configuring Your Network Adapter For Gige Visionscape

    PC on the motherboard or as PCI or PCIe cards and there are also some USB-to-Ethernet adapters available. Microscan recommends the use of NICs that make use of the Intel Pro/1000 chipsets. Normally, when you put a NIC into a PC it will be recognized as a network adapter and will inherit all the usual network protocols.
  • Page 34 Chapter System Components Important: If you are using a third-party camera and you have installed that manufacturer’s control software make sure that you disable it in the Properties dialog below. It will almost certainly conflict with the JAI software that Visionscape uses to receive images from the cameras.  ...
  • Page 35 Configuring Your Network Adapter for GigE Visionscape The filter driver requires no setup whatsoever. Clicking on the TCP/IP Properties button will bring up the following dialog:   There is usually no need for cameras to be on a DHCP network, so choose a static address that starts with 192.168.x.x.
  • Page 36 Chapter System Components Microscan recommends that you set your NIC to end in .2. For instance 192.168.2.2. If you have more than one camera NIC then set the second one to 192.168.3.2, and so on. Optimizing the Network Adapter for use with GigE Cameras To reduce the load on the PC to a minimum you need to optimize the NIC.
  • Page 37 Configuring Your Network Adapter for GigE Visionscape Next, click on the Advanced tab and you should see a list of parameters that can be tuned by the user.   Look for Jumbo Frames (sometimes called Jumbo Packets). Set this to the maximum available –...

  • Page 39 When you install Visionscape a couple of utilities are installed for you. These can be found under the Start Menu in: Start > All Programs > Microscan Visionscape > Tools > Diagnostics The one we are interested in here is Visionscape GigE Camera IP Config.
  • Page 40 Chapter System Components Open this program and you should see a screen similar to this:   The camera here is set to use DHCP and the address is 192.168.254.3. However, a persistent IP address is preferable. Check the “Use persistent IP” box and uncheck the “Use DHCP” box. Enter 192.168.254.3 in the lower IP address box and 255.255.255.0.
  • Page 41 Configuring Your Network Adapter for GigE Visionscape Cycle power to the camera. The config tool will now show the following:   Now, every time the camera is rebooted it will automatically set this IP address so it will not have to search the network to determine what IP address to use.
  • Page 42 Chapter System Components Then go to: My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Visionscape\ GigEVision\Camera_0 Note: In newer builds of Visionscape there are more entries in these directories. Depending on how many cameras you have connected you may have Camera_0, Camera_1, Camera_2 and Camera_3 directories – these all have the same things inside.
  • Page 43 Configuring Your Network Adapter for GigE Visionscape Change Base to Decimal:   Now enter 9014 in the Value Data text box:   Click on OK and you are done for setting the packet size. You’ve told Visionscape to use jumbo packets but the camera is still going to be sending data at the same rate –...
  • Page 44 Chapter System Components The inter-packet delay is the parameter that will allow us to control the rate of data from the camera. Let’s assume that we are using a CMG03c camera transmitting bayer data. This camera is capable of running at 91 fps with an 8 millisecond exposure time.
  • Page 45 Configuring Your Network Adapter for GigE Visionscape – Add in the 2.59 milliseconds to actually send the data. 2.59 + 27.71 = 30.3 milliseconds per frame. – The camera could run at 33 fps. – Set the inter-packet delay in the registry in exactly the same way as you set the packet size.
  • Page 46 Chapter System Components per second. Furthermore, this was not when the packet size was minimized but when it was set to 9000. The rate shown in FrontRunner is the display rate. The camera itself is running at least twice as fast. The rate displayed on-screen when in live video is meaningless in terms of the application runtime performance.
  • Page 47: How To Modify The Dm.config File To Change Camera And System Assignments

    System Assignments Explaining and Modifying the dm.config file The first time you plug a Microscan GigE camera into a PC and start FrontRunner, a new file is created. This file is called dm.config and it can be found in the C:\Vscape\DM directory. DM stands for Device Manager, and this file is intended to manage all GigE devices attached to the PC.
  • Page 48 Note that only cameras that are connected via gigabit ethernet will be listed. We do not recommend or even allow the use of 100baseT networks with Microscan GigE cameras. If you look closely, you'll notice that the assignment uid listed in the device section is the same as that shown for the resource uid for the attached camera.

The Correct Procedure The first thing to do is to make sure that the NIC is configured correctly. Hopefully this is an Intel Pro/1000 NIC card.
  • Page 62 Chapter System Components Now that the NIC is all set up to handle cameras in the most efficient way possible we can start working with the cameras. Connect the switch to the NIC and turn it on. Connect the camera you want to be camera 1 to the NIC. Bring up FrontRunner or just the Backplane.
