Grounding and Power
Ground and Shield Considerations
Proper grounding is necessary for operator safety, noise reduction, and the protection of
equipment from voltage transients. Buildings, including any steelwork, all circuits, and all
junction boxes must be grounded directly to an earth ground in compliance with local and
national electrical codes.

MicroHAWK
MV-40

An earth ground is provided through the cable shields and chassis of the camera.
Ground Loops
Ground loops (signal degradation due to different ground potentials in communicating
devices) can be eliminated or minimized by ensuring that both the host, imager, and their
power supplies are connected to a common earth ground.

2-30

MicroHAWK MV-20 / MV-30 / MV-40 Smart Camera Guide

Expected Power and Ground Connections for Proper Operation

Grounding Notes
•
•
•
•

Ensure that mounting bracket “Earth” is at the same potential as power source “Earth”.
Supply “Return” and “Earth” ground must be stable, low-impedance reference points.
“2-Terminal Power Supply” must still provide an “Earth” connection to the imager.
“Signal Ground” can be used for communications and/or discrete signal ground
reference. It must not be used as Power Ground or Earth Ground.

I/O Filtering and Debounce
Trigger Debounce is the ability of the system to accommodate switching noise on a trigger state
change – a common issue with relays that have some intermittent contact while engaging.
Trigger overruns (when the vision system is triggered faster than the device can process)
can be avoided by increasing the “debounce” time in the camera definition file located in
the C:\Microscan\Vscape\Drivers\CamDefs directory.
The I/O Line Debounce High Time and IO Line Debounce Low Time can be added to the
file as in the example below. Debounce time is 1 ms (1,000 μs).
Note: Although the value entered for the "IO Line Debounce Time" is in microseconds, it
will only be rounded up to a millisecond value. For example, entering the value 1001 will
resolve to 2 ms; entering a value of 2800 will resolve to 3 ms.
The min value for "IO Line Debounce Time" is 0, which disables software debounce
altogether. The maximum value is 100000 (100 ms).
We have the standard debounce as described for the trigger:
IO Line Debounce High Time
IO Line Debounce Low Time

1000 //usecs (default is 0)
1000 //usecs (default is 0)

The MicroHAWK has an I/O Line Filter Time as well:
IO Line Filter High Time
IO Line Filter Low Time

100
100

//usecs (default is 100)
//usecs (default is 100)

I/O Filter is the ability to ignore any signals on the l/O lines that are less that the “Filter Time”
long. Sometimes, electrical interference puts spikes on the line. This feature makes it ignore
them until the signal that is seen on the I/O line is longer than the filter time.

PROFINET I/O and IP Address Assignment
When PROFINET I/O is enabled on the unit, the PLC system may control the device
name, IP address, and subnet. When this is the case, it is impossible to communicate with
the unit from AutoVISION until the PLC has assigned an IP address. When the unit
disconnects from a PROFINET controller without disabling PROFINET, it may no longer
be reachable from AutoVISION. This condition may persist after cycling power on the unit
because the PROFINET I/O configuration is stored in non-volatile memory on the unit.
When disconnecting a unit from a PROFINET controller, it is recommended to always
disable PROFINET on the unit first, as this will erase the PROFINET configuration. The
unit will then remain reachable under its last known IP address.
It is possible to recover from loss of communication when PROFINET is left enabled, as
described below.

APIPA Address Assignment
When the unit fails to obtain a valid IP address, it will fall back on the APIPA (Automatic
Private Addressing) protocol after a timeout of 5 minutes.
To get an IP address, the unit will select an address at random in the range 169.254.1.0 to
169.254.254.255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The client will then send an ARP
packet asking for the MAC address that corresponds to the randomly-generated IPv4
address. If any other machine is using that address, the client will generate another
random address and try again until it finds a free IP address.
The device network viewer can be used to discover units with an APIPA address, connect
to them, and update the IP address to a desired range.

Machine Vision Lighting Principles
Proper lighting is critical to the success of a machine vision application. The MicroHAWK
features integrated lighting (built-in red LEDs for monochrome sensors and white LEDs for
color sensors). Depending on the requirements of your application, you may also need
external lighting from Microscan’s NERLITE family of machine vision lighting products.
Consider the following when setting up your application:
•

Is the surface of the object flat, slightly bumpy, or very bumpy?

•

Is the surface matte or shiny?

•

Is the object curved or flat?

•

What is the color of the object or area being inspected?

•

Is the object moving or stationary?

Machine vision lighting should maximize contrast of the areas or features being inspected
while minimizing the contrast of everything else.

The MicroHAWK MV-40 Smart Camera supports external lighting with Microscan’s
NERLITE Smart Series lights. The diagrams below demonstrates how the camera and
light can be configured. The light is controlled using the Lighting control in the Camera
configuration settings of AutoVISION software.

QX-1 Interface
In Strobe mode, the external illuminator is strobed with the exposure of the camera to
maximize light for the short exposure times needed in dynamic applications.
ON/OFF allows the external illuminator to be enabled and disabled using the MicroHAWK
MV-40’s I/O.

Serial Commands

Serial Command Syntax
< > = Required argument. Replace appropriately.
For example:
-u becomes -u av where av replaces DB_User_name.
| = Mutually exclusive arguments. Choose one from the list.
{ } = Used with | to specify a list of choices for an argument.
[ ] = Optional parameter.
Important: Unless otherwise stated, commands will respond with !OK on success and
!ERROR on failure.

AUTOCAL [-exp={0|1}] [-expval={60-100000}] [-gain={0|1}] [-gainval
={0-100}] [-focus={0|1}] [-focval{0-9999}]
Initiates camera calibration of gain, exposure, and focus. Each parameter is independent.
Ranges are device-dependent.

CHECKSUM {BOOT | KERNEL | BOOTPARAM}
Gets a checksum on an individual part of the system.

DELETE
Deletes a key.

FINDCHILDREN [-parent=clsid] [-child=symname]
Retrieves the children of type clsid for the symbolic parent.

FINDPARENT [-parent=clsid] [-child=symname]
Retrieves the first parent of type clsid for the symbolic child.

FINDSTEPS [-type=clsid]
Retreives a csv step list in symbolic form of the type passed in the current job.

GET {tagname|service|service.tagname}
Gets value of a global tag.
The tagname must correspond to one of the supported tags within the device. Use the
INFO command to get a full list of tags and services, as well as attributes of the tag and list
of subtags.
The command is terminated by a carriage return and/or line feed character.
Include an index to get a single value from an array such as GET int1. If the index is
omitted, the full array of values will be returned in a comma-separated list of values.

D-2

MicroHAWK MV-20 / MV-30 / MV-40 Smart Camera Guide

Send Get {tagname|service.tagname|service} to get the value of a tag within the global
data service. To get the value of a tag within another service, prefix the tagname with the
service name. For example, a GET command such as GET
eip.input for the EIP input assembly.
The AVP service allows retrieval of step and datum information from the job tree using
forward slash ‘/’ in the symbolic name path. GET avp/insp1/snapshot1/status paths are
not case-sensitive and do not need to be fully qualified if unique.
GET avp/snapshot1/status will return the same result if there is only one inspection.
When issued against a step, GET avp/snapshot1 will return the values for all datums.
Success Return: On success will return the value stored in the tag.
For example:
ABCD
Fail Return: On failure will return !ERROR followed by the reason for the failure.
For example:
!ERROR Tag matchstring66 not found

GETIMAGE <-transfer=ymodem> [-format={jpg|png}] [-quality={0-100}]
[-woi=left,top,right,bottom] [-inspection=n]
Initiates serial transfer of inspection image (RS-232 only).
Note: This command always returns the last (most recent) image.
-transfer=ymodem is currentlynot optional - only Ymodem protocol is supported.
-format={jpg|png} specifies the format of the image. If omitted, the image format is JPG.
-quality=n specifies a JPG compression quality of n less than or equal to 100. The default
quality is 80 if not specified.
Note: The PNG format provides lossless image compression. If format is set to PNG, the
quality setting does not apply.
woi=left,top,right,bottom specifies a rectangular area of the image to be included in the
output image. If omitted, the full image buffer is returned.
-inspection=n specifies the inspection from which to retrieve an image. The image will be
from the first snapshot within that inspection. If not specified, the image will be from the
first inspection that does contain a snapshot.
The following example will retrieve an image from the camera with these settings: Protocol:
ymodem; Format: png; Quality: N/A; Inspection: second inspection.
GETIMAGE –transfer=ymodem –format=png –inspection=2
The following example will retrieve an image from the camera with these settings: Protocol:
ymodem; Format: jpg (default); Quality: 50; Inspection: first inspection (default).
GETIMAGE –transfer=ymodem –quality=50

Serial Commands

HELP
Returns a list of all serial commands showing correct syntax and functionality descriptions.

INFO [tagname|service]
Gets information about a tag or service.
INFO with no arguments gets a list of services.
INFO gets a list of tags in that service.
INFO gets attributes of the tag as well as a list of subtags.
The AVP service allows retrieval of step and datum information from the job tree using
forward slash ‘/’ in the symbolic name path. INFO avp/insp1/snapshot1/status paths are
not case-sensitive and do not need to be fully qualified if unique.
INFO avp/snapshot1/status will return the same result if there is only one inspection.
When issued against a step, INFO avp/snapshot1 returns properties of the step, a list of
child datums, and a list of child steps. Child steps are indicated by a trailing forward slash.

JOBBOOT [-slot=]
Sets bootup job slot n (RS-232 only).

JOBDELETE {[-slot=]n|-all}
Deletes job in slot n, or all jobs if -all.
Important: Does not delete the current job loaded in camera memory.

JOBDOWNLOAD <-transfer={ymodem|ftp}> [-size=value] [-c]
Downloads a .avz job file via the specified transfer method (ymodem supported only over
RS-232; FTP supported only over network connection).
The ymodem transfer method only requires that the user send the .avz file via the
ymodem protocol over RS-232, and the job will load automatically after the transfer is
complete.
The FTP transfer method requires the user to perform the following steps to load the job:
• JOBDOWNLOAD: -transfer=ftp [-size=avpsizeinbytes]
Pre-creates a fixed-size /streamd0 RAMdisk to receive the .avz over FTP. If size is
omitted, the default RAM disk size is used to create /streamd0. The size of /streamd0 is
limited to (available contiguous RAM – minimum target contiguous RAM) / 2.
• User FTPs the job to /streamd0
• JOBLOAD: -mem -r
Loads .avz from /streamd0 into RAM, deletes the RAMDisk /streamd0, and optionally
starts the job (if -r is specified).

D-4

MicroHAWK MV-20 / MV-30 / MV-40 Smart Camera Guide

JOBINFO [[-slot=]n] [-v]
Gets job summary or info about slot n.
JOBINFO with no arguments returns a list of all jobs on the device.
-v = Verbose n. This option shows the amount of space that would be freed if the job were
deleted. It also lists the total disk space and free disk space.

JOBLOAD {[-slot=]|-mem} [-r]
Loads a job from slot n or from memory when used with the JOBDOWNLOAD command
via FTP.
-r = Start inspections.

JOBSAVE [-slot=]
