  • Page 6: Characteristics And Description

    AO SERIES | INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 2. Characteristics and description 2.1 Working principle The AO series is a focusing module which can be mounted in front of a fixed focal length lens to rapidly change focus. The AO series allows the user to refocus the lens faster than moving the lens mechanically with traditional motorized solutions. The built-in driver has been specifically developed to accurately control the piezoelectric elements. A demo user interface with basic control functions is available via a web browser interface. The lens can also be fully controlled with a dedicated .dll library, downloadable from the Opto Engineering® website. The library includes an autofocus algorithm and a calibration tool to help users integrate the AO module into their product or application. There are two versions of the adaptive lens. Version A has positive optical power and version B has negative optical power. The positive lens can change the best focus plane from far to close while the focusing power moves from zero to the maximum power. The negative lens can change the best focus plane from close to far while the focusing power moves from zero to the maximum power.

  • Page 14: Digital Control

    AO SERIES | INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL One possible application can be the following (Figure 7): an analog signal ranging from 0 to 24V can be fed to the “A/D_IN_0” pin, in a discrete ramp signal (Figure 8), as an example. For each input voltage level, a proportional output signal can be generated: once the output voltage reaches a steady-state value, the “DIG_OUT” pin can be used for triggering the image acquisition. After the end of the acquisition, the camera can communicate with the analog signal generator, thereby moving on to the next voltage level of the staircase signal. After having covered the entire input dynamic (0 – 24V), a set of different images has been acquired by the camera and is available to be processed in order to find the best focus. Considering the 12-bit resolution ADC, better precision can be achieved by increasing the number of input voltage levels. [V] IN ANALOG t [ms] Figure 8: Discrete ramp signal. 2.3.7 Digital control Pin 4 (A/D_IN_0) and Pin 11 (A/D_IN_1) can also be used as a digital input (0:LOW – 1:HIGH). In this case, an input signal whose value ranges between 0V and 8V is considered a LOW level digital signal (logic 0), whereas an input signal whose value ranges between 16V and 24V is considered a HIGH level digital signal (logic 1). Example AOL0223X 3.3V...

  • Page 15: Wiring Diagrams

    AO SERIES | INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL In this example, the two A/D input ports are directly linked to two different camera outputs. The first signal is “MOVE/STOP”, which is LOW when the best focus position has already been set, and HIGH when a new focus position must be reached. The other signal is “DIRECTION”: the AOL0223X only takes care of this signal if “MOVE/ STOP” is high. If DIRECTION is LOW, the output voltage applied to the piezoelectric actuator decreases, and when DIRECTION is HIGH, the output voltage increases. A suitable triggering, control and synchronization system is required between AOL0223X and the camera to implement this kind of control correctly. 2.3.8 Wiring diagrams This function code is used to write a block of contiguous registers in the controller register file. The master specifies the starting register address, the number of registers and the actual data to be written. Registers are addressed starting at zero. The register data in the request message are packed as two bytes per register. For each register, the first byte contains the high order bits and the second contains the low order bits. The normal response returns the function code, starting address, and quantity of registers written. Ethernet Port POWER SUPPLY 24 V AOL0223X is connected to the power supply and to the PC. Example 1: The connection to the PC via the ethernet cable is necessary for the electronic control of the Adaptive Lens. The default settings for the Ethernet connection are illustrated in Paragraph 11.3.

Example 2: Commands are sent through RS232 signals. The output signal of the AOL0223X is used to let the camera know that the system is ready for the acquisition. Remember that this signal is OPTOISOLATED, therefore, for example, the “DIG_OUT +” can be connected to the camera power supply (or directly to the 24V if the camera is 24V tolerant) and “DIG_OUT -” to the TRIGGER IN of the camera.

Example 4: The communication is based on TCP/IP protocol through Ethernet to the PC. In this case an analog control (described in Paragraph 11.6) is implemented to find the best focus: the analog signal coming from the camera or from an external source is fed to the input of the AOL0223X. The output signal (OPTOISOLATED) is used to trigger the image acquisition. Please refer to the previous example for configuring the optoisolated output signal. 3. Storage and use 3.1 Storage conditions 3.1.1 Temperature Storage environment between 0° and 50° C.

  • Page 18: Humidity

    AO SERIES | INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 3.2.2 Humidity Operating environment with relative humidity (RH) less than 85% (no condensation).. 3.2.3 Vibration and positioning The product is a high precision instrument. Avoid mechanical shock and exposure to vibrations: lenses are made of fragile materials which can fracture. Always handle the product with care and use appropriate clamping mechanics to position it. Never use optical parts of the product as means of mechanical support. Do not place the product on an unstable stand, tripod, base or table and on uneven floors. If the lens were to fall, it could cause personal injury and may be damaged. If the lens is placed vertically, with the mechanical axis nearly perpendicular (+/-30°) to the floor, operators should never place their hands under the lens, to avoid injuries due to the mechanical or optical components possibly falling. The device has an IP rating of 20 and should be installed in a way for moisture and dirt not to enter it. An enclosure may also be required for other parts of the system, such as power supplies. Such an enclosure would provide both mechanical and environmental protection in industrial applications. 3.3 Clamping and power supply 3.3.1 Mechanical fixing After the product has been set in place, according to the field of view, it can be secured by using at least 2 of the 6 M3 clamping holes.

    AO SERIES | INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 4. How to use the product 4.1 Demo interface 4.1.1 Software access The AOL0223X can be controlled either via Ethernet or RS232. This paragraph describes the Ethernet control method, highlighting the Demo interface functions. If the AOL0223X is switched on for the first time, a preliminary configuration is required. In fact, the default IP Address of the AOL0223X (written in a non-volatile memory) is 192.168.1.200: the PC network properties must be changed to access the web-based application. In particular, the following parameters have to be set in the Network Control Panel of the PC (TCP/IPv4): IP Address: 192.168.1.X (X can be a value that is not used by other peripherals - ➝ AOL0223X included – ranging from 1 to 255. Value 200 isn’t a valid value since it is used for the AOL0223); Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0; ➝ Default Gateway: not defined. ➝ The IP Address can be changed at any moment using both the DEMO program and the serial communication protocol (see Paragraph 13.5 and 15.2, respectively). Please be aware that if the new user-defined IP address is accidentally lost or forgotten, there is no possibility to retrieve it using the DEMO interface. However, the IP Address value can be retrieved using RS232 commands (see Paragraph 15.2). After the preliminary network configuration, the web-based DEMO interface can be easily accessed by entering the IP address 192.168.1.200 in the browser (or the new IP address, if changed).

  • Page 21: Lens Control

    AO SERIES | INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 4.1.2 Lens control The first step to access all the functions of the AOL0223X is to enable the onboard electronics: to do this, click on the ON/OFF button at the top of the page; if the lens is switched ON, the ON/OFF button will turn green; otherwise, a grey button (default state) indicates that the lens is OFF. Before disconnecting the power supply, always remember to turn off the adaptive lens by clicking the OFF button! This is the correct procedure to switch off the adaptive lens properly. The slider bar can be used to manually adjust the focusing of the lens. This slider directly drives the output voltage applied to the piezoelectric actuator: the dynamic range of the output voltage is 0-300V and the current value (in % value) is displayed in the text box next to the slider. Please note that the slider works as an “on-release” button: the voltage is applied to the piezoelectric actuator when the mouse button is released. Manual control is obviously disabled when the lens is OFF. 4.1.3 Automatic Test Loop...
