5.5 Network settings / LAN interface
All variants of the
SMARTCAMERA
feature a 1 Gbit/s LAN interface for configuring and monitoring the image analy-
sis.
Chapter “First steps” describes how this interface is used to establish the connection between computer and
SMARTCAMERA
with its fixed IP address 192.168.10.2.
NOTE
To prevent address conflicts, no IP may be used more than once in the network!
You can change the network behavior of the
SMARTCAMERA .
The settings dialog for the IP address of the
SMARTCAMERA
is located on the BVS Cockpit web interface under the icon
.
NOTE
After changing the IP address, the
SMARTCAMERA
may no longer be reachable. In this
case, briefly disconnect the network at the PC and reconnect it.
5.5.1
Network configuration via BVS Cockpit
The network configuration is done in the System settings on the Network tab.
Setting and Displays
Description
Obtain an IP address
automatically
It defines whether the IP address of the camera should be assigned dynamically or via
DHCP or statically.
IP
If a static IP address is to be used, it can be entered here.
Gateway
If a static IP address is to be used, the gateway can be entered here. This entry is op-
tional if the same subnet is used exclusively to access the camera.
Port
Which port the Web interface of the
SMARTCAMERA
can be accessed on. Default is
Port 80.
Use Avahi/Bonjour
Determines whether the camera reports itself to other cameras via its name in the net-
work.
5.6 Digital I/O interface
The
SMARTCAMERA
provides eight internal I/O signals.
Digital inputs and outputs are configured in the System settings on the Digital inputs/outputs tab.
Setting
Description
I/O type
Defines whether it is an input, an output, the flash line or the trigger line. Inputs can be read using
the "
Get inputs
" tool. Outputs can be set using the "
Set outputs
" tool. Advanced settings regard-
ing the flash and trigger can be made in the "
Set up camera
" tool.
Name
A user defined name to describe this configuration which can be used in the above mentioned
tools to address this In-/Output.
I/O device
Hardware device which is used for this In-/Output. ( e.g. the active camera)
Line
Hardware line of the device which is used for this In-/Output.
Inv.
If activated the in/output gets inverted. Inverted in/outputs are interpreted as active on low voltage.
LED
If activated, the state of the in/output is shown with the camera LED. (only supported on smart
cameras)
Duration
Defines the pulse duration of an output in milliseconds. The default value of 0 means, that the out-
put is active until another value is set manually using the "
Set outputs
" tool. Choosing pulse dura-
tions larger than zero the output is active for the defined time span and retransferred into its inac-
tive state afterwards.
Delay
Defines the delay of the trigger or an output in milliseconds. The default value of 0 means, that the
trigger will start without delay or rather will the output toggle when the tool "
Set outputs
" is run-
ning. Choosing delay larger then zero the frame acquisition will be delayed or rather the output will
be delayed with respect to the of frame acquisition.
