  • Page 8: Installation 8

    It is a good idea to bench-test the products prior to the field installation. GEViCAM cameras have highly integrated functions and do not need many add-ons. However, please check the product items and options or accessories if you ordered them.

  • Page 9: Driver Installation 9

    GEViCAM Inc 2.2 Driver Installation 2.2.1 PC Software Use the Pleora Coyote Software to launch the High-performance Driver and GigE communication. For detailed installation of the High-performance Driver, please refer the Pleora’s instruction document. The Standard Ethernet Driver (Window Stack) has to be replaced with the High-performance Driver.
  • Page 10 GEViCAM Inc 2.2.2.2 Ver. 2.3.1 e-Bus Driver (Recommended) Install the GEViCAM SDK ver. 2.3.1. If you have the ver. 2.2.0 or older one installed, uninstall the driver at first and make sure iPort file of “Pleora Technologies” in the Program file is empty.

    3.3.2.1 12-bit, 10-bit, 8-bit Linear Output (PixelDepth): (00 00 00 00, - 01, -02) The GEViCAM platform has a 12-bit high speed A/D converter and the output is selectable of 12, 10 and 8-bit (Factory Default: 8-bit). Both 10 and 8-bit conversions are done by taking the most significant bits out of the 12 bit.

  • Page 15: Asynchronous Reset And No-Delay Reset

    (00 21 00 00 00 01). GEViCAM has the no-delay reset capability to reset both horizontal and vertical without internal sync delay. Only a few fixed pixel-clock delays (4 clocks typical) exist as the internal logic delay. The data output delay occurs through the signal process but it is not the trigger or reset delay.

  • Page 16: Strobe/ Internal Exposure Signal Output

    GEViCAM Inc 3.3.4.2 Pulse-width Exposure Control This is selected as Async Pulse-width Control in trigger mode (00 23, 00 00 00 02). The pulse width between the falling (leading) edge and the rising (trailing) edge is the exact period of the exposure.

  • Page 17: Back-To-Back Strobing

    GEViCAM Inc 3.3.7 Back-to-back Strobing: (00 23 00 00 00 03), (00 25) Two consecutive strobes per one trigger are output with a programmable interval before and after the CCD transfer gate. Thus two frame images of strobe lightings at very short interval can be captured.

    Link but signal and data format follow Camera Link definition). Therefore, the Coyote application software calls for “Standard Camera Link” as the GEViCAM connection. (Fig. 24) In order to operate the frame grabber functions, the camera and PC must be connected, the proper driver and Coyote Application soft-ware need to be installed.

  • Page 21: Port Control (Serial Port Control For Camera Functions)

    GEViCAM Inc 4.4.3 Port Control (Serial Port Control for Camera Functions) Camera control is done in similar way as Camera Link serial control. There are 3 separate serial ports and the camera control is using the Serial Port 0. The GP-series control is register-base architecture in 16-bit address followed by 32-bit data.

  • Page 22: Color Camera

    GEViCAM Inc 4.4.4 Color Camera The difference between monochrome and color camera is the CCD with monochrome or RGB Bayer pattern. The camera data outputs are the same for both but for the color camera, the PC software interpolation makes the color reproduction into RGB.

  • Page 23: Image Capture And Save

    GEViCAM Inc 4.5 Image Capture and Save The image capture is controlled in the “Acquisition” tab. The typical mode is “Grab Continuous”. Since the camera side only outputs FVAL (Frame Valid) Pulse per trigger, the frame grabber side can stay in continuous mode and only grabs images when it receives FVAL for Async Trigger.

    GEViCAM Inc 4.6 GPIO (Programmable Logic Controller) 4.6.1 Programmable Logic Controller Functions 4.6.1.1 PLC Main Block The Pleora core has a very powerful GPIO control, which replaces simple PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in factory automation floor. In other words, a GigE camera can replace a camera, a frame grabber and a PLC to save the cost and space.

  • Page 25: Configuring Plc Functions

    GEViCAM Inc 4.6.1.2 Configuring PLC Functions In order to configure the PLC (GPIO) functions, let’s start the GP-series operation at first. Open the Coyote Application and click “Configure”. The PLC configuration is in the “IP Engine” tab. With the advanced configuration marked, there are 5 segments of PLC configuration blocks.

  • Page 26: Programming Pulse Generator

    GEViCAM Inc 4.6.1.5 Programming Pulse Generator You have two ways to program the Pulse Gen- erator. You can go to; • Enhanced Function Block One method is to program Pulse Generator #0. Internal Trigger needs the falling edge trigger and make sure the Trigger mode is “Falling edge”.

  • Page 27: Enhanced Function Block Connections

    GEViCAM Inc 4.6.1.6 Enhanced Function Block Connections The Inputs and outputs of the Enhanced Function Block are fixed as shown in Fig. 44. If you are feeding a signal into Pulse Generator 0, the output must go to Q9. For example, I1 with PLC Control Bit 0 is connected to the Pulse Generator 0, then the LUT is Q9=I1.
  • Page 28 GEViCAM Inc • Single Pulse Trigger with Pulse-width Control: Open the “IP Engine” tab and select “Signal Routing Block and Lookup Table”. (Fig. 46) Choose; I0: Pulse Generator 0 I1: PLC Control Bit 0. In the LUT, type Q0=I0, Q9=I1.

  • Page 30: Other Programmable Logic Controller Function

    GEViCAM Inc 4.6.1.8 Other Programmable Logic Controller Functions There are many useful tools for PLC in the real world factory automation. The GP-series’ default has one input and one output opto-isolators. These IOs can be used for the trigger input instead of TTL in noisy environment, and the output can be used for an ejector after counting number of triggers (use General Purpose Counter).

    GEViCAM Inc 4.6.3 GPIO Input and Output • TTL Input and Output The Trigger Input and Strobe/Exposure Control Pulse Out are TTL input and output. The simplified input and output circuits are shown in Fig. 57. It is a typical high-speed inverter-buffer IO and the sink current is not high (24 mA).
