Intelligente Datenlogger
Network Camera (HostCAMF44) Manual
6
LTL Control
The data logger provides two functions to communicate with the Network Camera (HostCAMF44):
1. The data logger can send a trigger to the camera.
2. The camera can stores the images via FTP protocol in the data logger FTP server (see chap. 3.4).
»
The IP addresses should be entered in the data logger system using the system constants
HostCameraAddress
, …
HostCamera9Address
.
»
The type of the connected camera is defined by the system constant
HostCameraType
, …
HostCamera9Type
(default value = 1). The value “2” is set for HostCAMF44 and “1” for HostCAM.
»
The number of connected sensor units to HostCAMF44 is set with the system constant
HostCameraParam
, …
HostCamera9Param
. The definition of this system constant is only necessary if
HostCAMF44 is set as
HostCameraxType
.
SYSTEM
HostCameraAddress =
"192.168.9.90"
{ default = ""}
HostCameraType = 2
{ =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; =0 default}
HostCameraParam = 1
{ No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }
HostCamera2Address =
"192.168.9.90"
{
default
= ""}
HostCamera2Type = 2
{ =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; default=0 }
HostCamera2Param = 2
{ No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }
HostCamera3Address =
"192.168.9.90"
{ default = ""}
HostCamera3Type = 2
{ =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; default=0 }
HostCamera3Param = 3
{ No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }
HostCamera4Address =
"192.168.9.90"
{ default = ""}
HostCamera4Type = 2
{ =1 for HostCAM; =2 for HostCAMF44; default=0 }
HostCamera4Param = 4
{ No. of sensor unit, between 1…4 }
…
Sending a trigger to the camera happens in LTL via the predefined variables
HostCameraTrigger
, …
HostCamera8Trigger
. They can be set with
CALC
. With
CALC
HostCameraTrigger = (1)
{ For camera1 }
HostCamera2Trigger = (1)
{ For camera2 }
…
HostCamera8Trigger = (1)
{ Optional; for camera8 }
The trigger event is set and
must
be reset with
CALC
HostCameraTrigger = (0)
{ For camera1 }
HostCamera2Trigger = (0)
{ For camera2 }
…
HostCamera8Trigger = (0)
{ Optional; for camera8 }
to be ready for a new trigger event.
The status of a camera can be queried separately using the system variables
HostCameraStatus
, …
HostCamera8Status
. They can have the following values:
Value
Description
1
There is a problem with the camera
2
Camera is online.
0xF1
No
license for this particular camera.
The query of the status refers to the control unit and not singular sensor units. The result is independent of
whether the sensor units are connected or not.
