This guide provides an example setup for a 6-camera PIC-2592 configuration. The 6 cameras
are connected via 2 Gigabit switches (3 on each switch) to 2 Gigabit ports on the GV3000.
Test Setup
• GV3000CL-x86 with 2 GigE ports
• 1x PL-USB
• 6x PIC cameras, Cat5e GigE cables and I/O cables
• 2x Gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switches
• 1x Power supply +12 VDC
• GenicamSetup driver version 5.10.10.102
• iNspect Express version 1940 (currently unreleased)
• Sherlock version 7.2.2.3
USB
Switch 1
LAN 1 Notes:
1. Each trigger output
from the PL-USB is
wired to 2 PIC cameras
2. All PIC cameras are
triggered at the same
time (worse case)
3. External trigger is a
constant source running
Switch 2
PIC cameras
The PACKET_SIZE and INTER_PACKET_GAP are critical parameters for multi-camera PIC
systems. These parameters may need to be tuned to maximize performance on any given
system. Setting these values too low will result in image corruption. Setting them too high will
result in lower system performance (i.e. pps). For the GV3000CL, the numbers shown
provide a BW of ~60MB/S which equates to ~4 pps (each NIC).
Note: Version 5.10.10.102 of the GenicamSetup driver does not support a packet size greater
than 1500.
