CCD array camera OptoLine OL 80..
This description applies for all CCD array cameras in the OL 80.. se-
1. General ries. It explains the standard operation for width measuring and web
instructions guiding with one or two cameras on a moving web.
1.1 Description Keep the description in a safe place, accessible to personnel at all
times.
The description is part of the package supplied and should be read
carefully prior to assembly, operation and maintenance work .
1.2 Explanation of symbols ➜ = jobs to be performed

1.3 Operation The CCD array camera Opto Line OL 80.. should only be operated
by qualified personnel or suitably instructed persons.
CCD array cameras in the OL 80.. series are only differientated by

2. Type references their various lenses (measuring ranges). The function of the cameras
is identical. The first two digits of the type reference indicate the ca-
mera resolution (80 = 8192), the third and fourth digits, the lens focal
length.
Example: OL 8028
focal length 28 mm
3. Function
3.1 Purpose The CCD array camera Opto Line OL 80.. was developed for con-
tact-free position measuring. It detects the position of contrasts (ed-
ges, lines, flutes or grooves) on a moving web. The measuring result
can be used for width measuring, web guiding, following up actua-
tors or tools such as cutters etc..
In this description the camera and standard operation for width
measuring and web guiding with one or two cameras is explained.
Specialised applications designed by E+L are described separately
in the system specifications or operating instructions.
3.2 Design A width measuring system consists of:

- one or several cameras
- a set of cables
- one or two light transmitters
- a DO 002. remote display
A web guiding system consists of:
- one or several cameras
- a set of cables
- one or two light transmitters
- an E+L controller with command station
B page 2
3.3 Operating principle Two different scanning methods are used to detect contrasts, front-
lighting and backlighting. The method applied depends on the indivi-
dual job.
Frontlighting Backlighting
Scanning methodes
With the frontlighting method the light transmitter and camera are
on the same side, either above or below the object. The camera cat-
ches the light reflected by the object from the light transmitter. When
frontlighting is used, outer edges and lines, flutes or grooves can all
be detected.
With the backlighting method the light transmitter is positioned be-
hind the object to be scanned, as seen from the scanned object. In
the case of non-transparent materials, only the outer edges are de-
tected.
The following applies for both methods:
Whether one or two cameras are used to establish the position de-
pends on the resolution and web width required (see block diagram).
What is important is that when width measuring or web guiding with
one camera, both web edges are always in the camera visual range.
When width measuring or web guiding with two cameras, one web
edge each must be in the camera visual range.
The centrepiece of the camera is a charge coupled device with 2048
pixels. The individual pixels convert the light shed into signal volta-
ges. Contrast changes in the camera measuring range such as a
web or printed line on a web cause a change in the voltage. The
camera can detect up to 30 contrast changes in its measuring range,
regardless of whether these are caused by one or several webs. See
fig. on the bottom of page 4.
*CCD = Charge-Coupled-Device
B page 3
A maximum of 8 measuring values can be output on the basis of the

positions recorded. A measuring value value is a contrast position
(e.g. the web edge position) or the center between two contrasts
(e.g. the the web or line center position).
A built-in light controller makes the camera practically impervious to
soiling caused by dust and environmental factors such as steam or
ambient light fluctuations.
All data to the camera (camera settings, measured value selection)
and from the camera (measured value position, error messages, sta-
tus information) are transferred via a CAN interface. The CAN con-
troller is built into the camera. The in-house E+L protocol is used on
the CAN bus. Coupling to other buses or unit interfaces is esta-
blished via special interface modules that can be attached to the
CAN bus. Two keys and a 16-bit LED display are available for basic
operating functions, setting the CAN address, focusing the camera
and displaying the measured value position. Further settings are per-
formed via an E+L command station DO.. or RT.. .

4. Camera controls In normal mode, the LED display indicates the position of the measu-
red value (e.g. the web center) in the camera measuring range. In
the event of malfunctions, it indicates various errors, see error mes-
sages section.
Arrow
The LED on the arrow indicates when the camera is ready for opera-
tion. When connected to the power, it lights up red until camera initia-
lisation is complete. When the camera is ready for operation it lights
up green.
GRP key
Use the GRP key to set the group number and focus the camera,
see the "Setting the camera CAN address" and "Focusing the came-
ra" sections.
DEV key
Use the DEV key to set the camera device number, see "Setting the
camera CAN address" section.
Camera controls
The DEV key is also used to set which measured value is to be indi-
cated on the LED display. Press and hold down the DEV key. The
address of the measured value currently being displayed is indicated.
The addresses of all configured measured values are displayed in
sequence at 5 second intervals. Release the key once the address of
the required measured value appears.
Other settings by the E+L Setup Editor.

The setup editor is a software tool for calibrating and confi-
guring E+L CAN modules such as camera OL 80.. . In setup
mode parameters can be displayed and some changed as
well. Setup mode is accessed via a command station DO ....
or operator panel RT .... . See description "CAN-Bus, seriel
bus und setup editor".
If the cameras are used only for width measuring, i.e. the
system only has a remote display DO 002. (no E+L controller
DC..), the device number of the remote display must always
be 5 (device 5). Only then can the setup editor be started.

5.2 Determining camera mea-
suring range and distance
between camera and web The distance K between the camera and web influences the camera
measuring range:
- the shorter the distance, the smaller the measuring range
K - the smaller the measuring range, the more precise the measure-
ment (resolution)

5.3 Determining the light The E+L light transmitter is available with one fluorescent tube and
transmitter size and with two fluorescent tubes (FS 16.2). If sufficient space is available,
distance M between the light transmitter should always be used with two fluorescent tubes.

Distances: camera-Light transmitter-Web
Distance K between the camera and web is determined by the
measuring range. Distance L between the light transmitter and web
determines the scanning process.
When using frontlighting the distance between the light transmitter
and the web should be as short as possible to capture the maximum
amount of light. The following applies for backlighting; the shorter
the distance between the light transmitter and the web, the greater
the danger of dirt being sharply depicted on the light transmitter,
causing incorrect measurements. We recommend a minimum dis-
tance of 100 mm.
The camera visual range must always be located in the light
transmitter operational range. On E+L light transmitters, the
outer 100 mm are not usable for the cameras.
B page 7
The following table lists the maximum distance of standard E+L

transmitters to the camera.

The longer the light transmitter, the greater the gap will be. The maxi-
mum mounting distance can be calculated as follows:
M = Max. mounting dist. camera - light transmitter M in mms

f (a + b) a = Light transmitter operational range in mms
M= b b = CCD element length = 28,67 mm
f = Lens focal length (24, 28 or 50 mm)
5.4 Camera assembly If the camera looks down on the web from above, it should be moun-
ted so that the arrow on the camera operating controls points in the
direction of web travel. If the camera looks up to the web from below,
the arrow should point in the opposite direction to that of web travel.
On camera systems designed by E+L,the module reference must
also be checked (e.g B 2). The block diagram specifies exactly which
camera should be mounted on which side of the web, seen from the
direction of web travel.
Two different E+L supports are available for mounting the camera,
see attached drawing.
We recommend you pin the supports once the camera has
been positioned (7.1 commissioning).
5.5 Light transmitter assembly How the light transmitter is mounted depends on the scanning pro-
cess implemented.

Light transmitter assembly with Background Background

frontlighting principle
When using frontlighting the following should be observed:

- when scanning the edges of transparent webs, mount the light
transmitter so that the mirror surface reflects the light sent from
the transmitter into the camera (see illustration above left).
- when detecting lines and colour contrasts on transparent and opa-
que webs, mount the light transmitter so that a diffuse reflection is
produced. Surface glare is avoided and a clear image is produced
(see illustration above right).
When frontlighting, please ensure that the light transmitter is
not in the camera visual range.
5.6 Determining the back- A uniform contrast-free dark background is required for front-
ground lighting. You may have to mount a matt black panel behind the web,
in the camera visual range. This optimum contrast to the web gua-
rantees efficient web edge scanning, influences from external light
sources are avoided.
5.7 Determining the back- It must be guaranteed that the web does not form folds or creases
ground and that the edges do not turn up as otherwise the light is reflected at
a different angle by the web and no longer captured by the camera.
A support roller can be mounted if necessary.
With front-lightning, the support roller should be mounted outside the
camera measuring range, either before or after the camera. See illu-
stration on left.

➜ Set the camera visual range (CCD array) at a 90° angle to the
web surface and web center. Ensure when measuring with two
cameras, that both are set at the same distance A from the web.
➜ For frontlighting, align the camera and light transmitter with one
another (see illustration on top of page 9).
7.2 Check wiring Check wiring ➜ See wiring diagram.
7.3 Check supply voltage ➜ See wiring diagram.
7.4 Set camera CAN address The camera has a CAN address by which it can be reached via the
bus. The CAN address consists of a group and device number.The
(Group) number refers to which control loop the device belongs, the
(Device) number to the specific device in the control loop .
On systems designed by E+L the CAN address is works set.
The CAN address is specified on the typeplate along with the
module reference and is listed in the system block diagram.
If cameras are supplied individually, as a component of systems not
designed by E+L, you must set the CAN address. To do so, see the
"CAN bus, serial bus and setup editor" description. In this case, ca-
meras are supplied with CAN address 0.1.
The camera device numbers are fixed, see table below. The
device numbers specify the mounting location (to the right or
left in the direction of web travel) and thus the camera edge
scanning direction.
Device number Sensor in direction of web travel

1 - camera on right
- only one camera over web center
2 - camera on left
3 - second camera on right (for special applications)
4 - second camera on left (for special applications)

➜ Press and hold down the GRP and DEV keys on the camera ope-
rating panel at the same time. After approx. 10 seconds, the set
CAN address will flash on the LED display (see fig. opposite). Af-
ter a further 20 secs, the camera will switch to the mode for set-
ting the CAN address. The flashing becomes a permanent light.
➜ Let go the GRP and DEV keys.
➜ Set the group number with the GRP (0-7) key and the device
number with the DEV (0-4) key.
Example CAN address 01:

7.8 Camera configuration A camera may be regarded as eight sensors in an enclosure.

When configuring the camera, a CAN address must be assigned and
properties defined for each sensor that is to output a measured va-
lue. Properties include the sensor measuring range (parameter
10/11), operating mode (parameter 6/7/8) and emergency guiding
(parameter 9).

Example:camera configuration
Example:
A camera is used on an E+L web guider with pivoting frame. The
web is to be guided by the right web edge, left web edge and web
cente. In addition, the distance between two lines printed on the web
is to be measured.
In this case, the camera must supply 4 values. The positions of the
left and right web edges on the web guider and the positions of the
two line centers on the width measuring device.
The CAN address group number indicates to which control loop the
sensor belongs, the device number indicates the relevant sensor in
the control loop (right or left sensor).
The CAN address of the first sensor is the camera address. The
CAN addresses of the 7 other sensors are set in parameters 47 to 53
The measuring range of each sensor may be set individually. It may
correspond to the entire camera scanning range (2048 pixels) or only
a part of it. The measuring range is set in parameters 10 and 11.
B page 14
The following rules should thereby be observed:

- Camera pixels are used as the unit of measurement (max. 2048).
The values are always in reference to the physical camera scan-
ning direction.
- If the values in parameters 10 and 11 exceed the physical length
Web plane of the camera scanning range (start + length > 2048), the measu-
ring range setting is not effective, i.e. the entire measuring range
is used.
limited measuring - A separate measuring range may be set for each sensor.
range - If a 0 is set in both parameters for sensors 2 to 7, the measuring
200 1848 range of these sensors will be limited to that set for sensor 1.
- The measuring range setting is also effective during the calibrati-
on process. The camera is calibrated to the measuring range set

Parameter 10 = 0, Parameter 11= 2048
Array camera measuring range
-
set measuring range (mm) = Value of parameter 22 x value of parameter 11

The sensor operating mode (parameter 6) determines whether the

sensor should output the position of a contrasting edge (operating
mode 1) or the center between two contrasting edges (operating
mode 2). Once the operating mode is set, the contrasting edges in
the camera scanning range from which the position is to be output
must be specified (parameter 7/8).
Emergency guiding (parameter 9) is intended for web guiding or fol-
low-up systems. For each sensor that outputs a measured value on a
web guiding or follow-up system, the CAN address of another sensor
may be specified (parameter 9), that will operate in emergencies in
the event of the loss of the guiding criterion.
Example:
Web travel should be controlled according to a printed line. If the line
is missing due to a printing error, web travel is to be controlled accor-
ding to the web edge. In this case, t wo sensors should be configu-
red. Sensor 1 specifies the line position, sensor 2 the edge position.
In parameter 9 of sensor 1 is address of sensor 2 should be speci-
fied.
Cameras supplied separately and not as part of a system de-
signed by E+L as configured to output one measured value:
the position of the right web edge under address 0.1.
B page 15
7.7.1 Configuring the first measured value:

A CAN address should be set for each measured value to be
output. The CAN address of the first measured value is usually
the address specified on the module reference on the camera
or in the block diagram.
The following examples all refer to the illustration on page 14.
7.7.1.1 Setting the CAN address

(parameters 48 to 53) and initiate a reset. Finally, set the ope-
rating mode of the new measured value.

7.7.4 Deactivating the output of measured values:

➜ Call up setup editor
1 for the camera
0 for the camera
➜ Set the subaddress (parameters 47 to 53) of the measured value
that is to be deactivated to 00.
0.0 in parameter 47 for the second measured value
➜ Enter a 1 (reset) in parameter 3, then change parameters to initia-
te the reset.
7.8 Camera calibration To achieve a uniform reference variable for control or measuring
system signals, all sensors and actuators must be calibrated in rela-
tion to this uniform reference variable.
There are two different calibration procedures for the camera,
standard calibration and template calibration. The latter is inten-
ded for cameras implemented in lamination processes.
7.8.1 Standard calibration

For camera calibration a template is required that is inserted in the
camera measuring range instead of the web. See illustration opposi-
te.
The template must lie within the measuring range set in the
first measuring value (see camera configuration). It must be
positioned on the same plane as the web will run subse-
quently. It should cover as large an area of the measuring
th range as possible, approx. 2/3 of the web width.
b wid
we The camera resolution can be calculated from the width of the tem-
2/3 plate and the distance measured:
Resolution per pixel = template width

covered pixels
Standard calibration
➜ Position the template in the camera visual range.
➜ Call up setup editor, see setup editor section.
➜ Enter camera device number in Parameter 0.
➜ Enter camera group number in Parameter 1.
➜ Check parameter 17. To ensure that the camera is properly cali-
brated, make sure that the correct lens size is selected:
1 = 24 mm (OL 8024)
2 = 28 mm (OL 8028)
3 = 50 mm (OL 8050)
➜ Enter the template width in Parameter 18.
B page 18
➜ Enter a 6 (standard calibration) in parameter 3 then change para-

meters to initiate the calibration routine. During calibration, both
halves of the LED bar on the array camera will flash alternately
(approx. 5 secs). During calibration two red LEDs on the sensor
key will light up on E+L command device DO 10.. .
- If calibration is not successful, every second LED will flash on the
camera LED bar. In addition, an error message will be displayed
in parameter 5.
- If calibration is successful, a reset will be initiated automatically.
Then the LED bar on the array camera indicates the position of
the web in the measuring range. The two red LEDs on the sensor
key of E+L command device DO 10.. go out.
➜ Check parameter 5 additionally.
..5. errorcode error code:
Units indicate exposure errors
..0 = optimum exposure
..1 = soiled
..2 = under-exposed
..3 = over-exposed
Tens indicate camera operating status
.1. = emergency guiding
.2. = no result
.3. = Calibration ok
.4. = calibration error: no edge
.5. = calibration error: only one edge
Hundreds indicate camera calibrating status
1.. = not calibrated
➜ If calibration is not successful, (error code .4. or .5.), clear the er-
ror and repeat calibration.
➜ If calibration is successful (error code .3., calibration ok), select
parameter 22. Parameter 22 indicates the entire camera measu-
ring range (2048 Pixel) in milimeters.
The limited measuring range (step 7.7) may be determined accor-
ding to the following equation.
set measuring range (mm) = Value of parameter 22 x value of parameter 11

2048
➜ Quit setup mode. Enter a 1 in parameter 3, then change parame-

ters. After 2 seconds, setup mode is quit.
B page 19
7.8.2 Template calibration

Template calibration is designed for camera implementation in lamin-
cation processes. With template calibration, the resolution of two ca-
meras (as with standard calibration) and the distance of the cameras
to one another may be simultaneously calibrated.
Calibration template, E+L mat. no. 226896 consists of a metal strip
with two slots. For calibration purposes the center of the template
must be aligned according to a freely selected reference point, e.g.
o int
the machine center. One slot each must be located in the measuring
et
tanc e po range of each camera.

Template calibration with E+L template

➜ Calibrate the first camera as follows:
(mat.no. 226896) ➜ Enter the camera device number in parameter 0.
➜ Check parameter 17. To assure that the camera may be correctly
calibrated, it is important that the right lens focal distance is set:
1 = 24 mm (OL 8024)
2 = 28 mm (OL 8028)
3 = 50 mm (OL 8050)
➜ Enter the length of the calibrating template slot in parameter 18.
➜ Enter the distance of the slot (inner edge) to the reference point,
e.g. machine center in parameter 19.
➜ Calibration: enter a 7 in parameter 3 for this purpose, then change
parameter to initiate the calibration routine. During calibration, the
two halves of the LED bar on the CCD camera flash alternately
(approx. 5 secs). During calibration, the two red LEDs on the sen-
sor key of E+L command device DO 10.. light up.
- If calibration is not successful, every second LED on the camera
LED bar flashes. In addition, an error message is displayed in pa-
rameter 5.
- If calibration is successful, a reset is initiated automatically. Then
the LED bar on the array camera indicates the position of the web
in the measuring range. The two red LEDs on the sensor key of
E+L command device DO 10.. go out.
During calibration, the distance of the camera to the reference
point is calculated and stored in parameters 23 and 24 as the
"mount position".
➜ Calibrate the second camera as the first.
➜ Wait approx. 1 minute after calibration until setup mode is quit au-
tomatically. The cameras are now ready for operation.
B page 20
7.9 Width measuring function If the web width is measured by two cameras, the distance
calibration between these two must be calibrated once each camera has
been calibrated individually.
Calibration can only be performed on command station
DO 002. .
A template is required to calibrate the width measuring function. It is
inserted in the measuring range of both cameras in place of the web.
See the illustration on left. The template must be on the same level
that the web, subsequently, will run on.

➜ Enter the device number of operator panel RT 4051 in para-
meter 0. This operator panel is a part of remote display DO 002.,
the address is specified in the block diagram on systems configu-
red by E+L.

➜ Enter value 2 for width measuring in parameter 6 (center between
0.1.0.0.0. two contrasting edges).
➜ Measure the width of the template in millimeters. Deduct the value
from the width indicated on remote display DO 002. .
Example: width displayed 150
Calibrate distance of cameras to one measured template width 100
another offset -50
➜ Enter the offset in parameter 9 (e.g. -50).
➜ Value "1" for the web width must be set in parameter 10. If this is
not the case, enter "1".
➜ Enter a 1 (reset) in parameter 3, then change parameters to initia-
te a reset.
The width measuring function is now ready for operation.
7.10 Perform application- 7.10.1 Camera mounting position

dependent settings On a few applications with camera OL 80.., e.g. width measurements
or laminating processes, the camera mounting position is required.
The mounting position is the distance from the camera center to a fi-
xed reference point in a machine, e.g. the machine center.
The mounting position may be transmitted by the camera, an E+L in-
terface DI .. or an E+L module DM .. . If the camera is to send the
mounting position, proceed as follows.
➜ Check the mounting position in parameter 23. With template cali-
bration, the mounting position is calculated during the calibration
process and written in parameter 23. With standard calibration,
the distance must be entered manually in parameter 23.
➜ Enter value 1 in parameter 41 (send mount position).
1 = send mount position
0 = do no send mount position
B page 21
➜ Check the "send mount position" parameters of interface DI.. and

module DM.. if necessary enter value 0 (do not send mounting po-
sition). Only one device in the CAN network may send the moun-
ting position.
7.10.2 Set the type of exposure control

With some applications it may be beneficial if the exposure control is
switched off from time to time or all together. The setting should then
only be changed if satisfactory results cannot be obtained with the
standard setting.
The exposure control operating mode is set in parameter 28.
0 = exposure control active (standard)
1 = exposure control is only active if no web is in the camera measu-
ring range. As soon as the web is located in the camera measu-
ring range, operation is with the most recently established exposu-
re value. This setting should be selected if the light conditions on
the moving web change so much that the exposure control must
be continually readjusted.
2 = exposure control off. The exposure is fixed at a value set in para-
meter 29. This setting may be advantageous when scanning ed-
ges with a poor contrast.
7.10.3 Setting the type of contrasting edge evaluation

On some applications, it may be beneficial to change the evaluation
of the contrasting edges. This change should only be made when no
satisfactory results could be achieved with the standard setting. The
evaluation of the contrasting edges is set in parameter 32, the limit
values in parameters 33 and 34.
Evaluation is set as standard according to the flank height. In this
form of evaluation, a change in contrast must correspond to a speci-
fic height in order to be detected as a measured value. See illustrati-
on on page 23, top left.
When evaluating with a grey-scale threshold, a set fixed limit value
must be exceeded given a contrast change to allow the latter to be
detected as a measured value. See example on page 23, top right.
Parameter 32, type of edge evaluation:
0 = edge evaluation according to flank height
1 = edge evaluation with grey scale threshold
Parameter 33, upper limit value:
Parameter 32 = 0: minimum height of a valid positive flank
Parameter 32 = 1: grey scale threshold that must be exceeded by a
valid positive flank
Parameter 34, lower limit value:
Parameter 32 = 0: minimum height of a valid negative flank
Parameter 32 = 1: grey scale threshold below which a valid negative
flank must not drop

8. Operation
8.1 Specify set position value If cameras are implemented on web guiding systems, before guiding
for guiders is begun the set position of the measured values must be specified.
If a measured value deviates from the set position, the guider cor-
rects the position of the web.
Direction of web travel
CAN address 0.1
Left edge = measured value 2 Right edge = measured value 1

(web guider, left sensor) (web guider, right sensor)
set position in parameter 13 set position in parameter 13
Example: specify set position of

measured values
8.1.1 Specify set position value on command device DO 1...
Example 1 , see illustration above:
The web is to be guided by the center. For this purpose the set positi-
ons of measured value 1 and 2 must be stored. On this basis, the gui-
der calculates the set position of the web center.
B page 23
➜ Before guiding, position the web in the measuring range so that

the web center is at the set point.
➜ On E+L command device DO 1... first press the SETUP key and
then the key. The actual position of both web edges is now
stored in parameter 13 as the set position. On this basis, the gui-
der calculates the web center set position. If the web center devia-
tes from the set point, the guider corrects the position of the web.
Example 2 , see illustration at the bottom of page 22:
The web is to be guided by the right web edge. For this purpose, the
set value of measured value 1 must be stored.
➜ Before guiding, the web should be placed in the camera measu-
ring range so that the right web edge is positioned at the set point.
➜ Store the set position of measured value 1 (right web edge). To do
so, first press the SETUP key on E+L command device DO 1...
then the key which you used to select the right sensor on your
command device, or . The right web edge set position is
now s tored in parameter 13. If the right web edge deviates from
the setpopoint, the guider corrects the position of the web.
The stored set position is retained until a new value is stored.
8.1.2 Specify the set position value via the setup editor
The measured value set positon may also be specified via the setup
editor.
➜ Before guiding, position the web in the camera measuring range
so that the measured value is located at the set point. See ex-
ample 8.1.1.
➜ Enter a 4 (define guiding criterion) in parameter 3 of the camera,
then change parameter. The measured value set position is now
stored in parameter 13.
The stored set position is retained until a new value is stored.
8.1.3 Retaining the set position value

On applications in which the set position value always remains con-
stant, the storing of new position values may be inhibited.
➜ Enter a 0 in parameter 42, store set position value (no photo ope-
ration possible).
Neither command device DO1... nor parameter 3 may be used to
store a new set position value.
B page 24
The camera notes all the settings when the voltage is switched off.
9. Camera start-up When the power is switched on again, the configuration previously
response set is used for operation, i.e. the operating modes, the reference po-
sitions determined during web guiding and the messages to be sent
to the CAN bus are retained.
