PCIe-GIE7x
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
ADLINK's PCIe-GIE7x Series features PCI Express® x4 lane
GigE Vision PoE+ (Power Over Ethernet Plus, IEEE 802.3at)
frame grabbers supporting 2/4CH independent Gigabit Ethernet
ports for multiple GigE Vision connections with data transfer up to
1 Gb/s per port.
The PCIe-GIE7x's PoE+ offers up to 30W PoE power and auto-
matic detection for stable and reliable connection between PoE,
PoE+, or non-PoE cameras and frame grabbers, reducing costs,
simplifying installation, and easing maintenance burdens. The
series further enhances PoE Protection to protect against under-
voltage, overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating, programmable
to not only switch PoE on and off, but also monitor PoE power
consumption and automatically manage power budget according
to the power source (PCIe or 4/6 pin Molex connector). Available
power is directed to higher priority ports if a situation arises in
which there is insufficient power for all PoE ports.
The PCIe-GIE72/74, in PRO configuration, fulfills even more appli-
cation requirements with software license management integrating
a Licensed Security EEPROM for third party software, eliminating
the need for secure license dongles or other hardware, providing
SDK and utilities to license software safely and easily. As well,
ToE (Trigger over Ethernet) transmits trigger commands via Ether-
net for full synchronization of multi-camera acquisition.

PCIe-GIE7x
1.5 Power over Ethernet
The PCIe-GIE7x Series’ PoE (Power over Ethernet) specification
enables the PCIe-GIE7x to act as power sourcing equipment
(PSE), providing power through a twisted-pair Ethernet connection
to a powered device (PD), such as a GigE Vision camera, IP
phone, or wireless access points.
1.5.1 PoE vs. PoE+
Power over Ethernet (PoE), based on the IEEE 802.3af standard,
delivers power over Ethernet up to 15.4W per port, and Power
over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), based on IEEE 802.3at, up to 30W per
port.
The PXIe-GIE7x Series supports both PoE and PoE+, automati-
cally detecting which is supported by devices upon connection and
supporting the requisite protocol.

1.5.2 PoE Protection
The PCIe-GIE7x provides PoE Protection from undervoltage,
overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, and budget overages.
Under- and Overvoltage
PoE output is monitored and power supply to the PD interrupted
when any output exceeds OVP (Over Voltage Protection) or falls
below UVP (Under Voltage Protection) limits.
Table 1-2: Over- and Undervoltage Protection Parameters
Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent defines a condition in which the current (in amperes)
exceeds a rated value, or ICUT, caused by overload, short circuit,
or ground fault. The PCIe-GIE7x protects the circuit by shutting
down connection to the PD when the current achieves a value that
can generate excessive or dangerous temperature rise in conduc-
tors.

Normal PoE 50 to 57V

Class 2 206mA +/- 5%
Class 3 or Class 0 375mA +/- 5%

Introduction 7
PCIe-GIE7x
Overtemperature Protection
Two trigger temperatures, HT (High Temperature) and LT (Low
Temperature) respectively can be preset. When HT is reached,
the PCIe-GIE7x automatically shuts down PoE power until the
temperature sensor falls below LT.
While default values of HT and LT are 130˚C and 90˚C respec-
tively, they can be changed via PoE Power Management SDK or
Utility, with available range of HT 80 to 130˚C, and LT 70 to 120˚C.
Table 1-4: Overtemperature Protection (OTP) Parameters
1.5.3 PoE Power Management
PoE device reliability is greatly enhanced with:
PROgrammable PoE-based on/off switching for each port
PoE power budget management based on power source,
with monitoring and reporting of Total Power Budget,
Reserved Power, Remaining Unused Budget, and Current
Power Usage
PoE status monitor including PoE classification and voltage/
current for each port
PoE port priority of Port1/Port2/Port3/Port4
PCIe-GIE7x Series board information Including available
devices, PoE switch (SW3) status, board temperature, and
firmware and MCU versions
PoE Classification
Available power for the PCIe-GIE7x Series is as shown. If PCIe-
GIE7x detects no classification of PD, default Class 0 power level
is provided.
HT LT
Default Value 130°C 90°C
Range 80 to 130°C 70 to 120°C

Leading EDGE COMPUTING
Table 1-5: Available Power per PoE Class
PoE Port Priority
PoE port priority, as shown, is fixed. Available power is diverted to
the priority ports if insufficient power is available to all PoE ports.
Table 1-6: PoE Port Priority
PoE Power Budget
The PCIe-GIE7x Series automatically manages power budget
according to power source (PCIe or 4/6 pin Molex connector).
When budget is exceeded, PoE power is interrupted to prevent
damage to the PCIe-GIE7x and connected devices.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Due to inherent cable resistance, voltage drops along the
length of the cable result in power loss to the remote PD. For
example, although the PCIe-GIE7x, upon detection of a Class
3 device, provides up to 15.4W of power, on a full 100m cable,
a maximum of only 12.95W will be available to the remote PD.

Power Management SDK and Utility
The ADLINK Power Management SDK and Utility are standard
and ready to use with the PCIe-GIE7x Series, with no additional
licensing required. Applications are easily created with the SDK,
requiring only a few lines of code. The Power Management Utility
is an interactive Windows application for PoE configuration and
status monitoring.
1.6 ToE (Trigger over Ethernet) with GigE Vision
Action Command
The PCIe-GIE7x PRO provides firmware-based ToE with Action
Command, which, as defined in the latest GigE Vision standard,
enables triggering of one or multiple cameras in sync through a
single broadcast packet via Ethernet cable, with no additional I/O
connection required. Accordingly, cameras can be triggered via
existing Ethernet sytems, realizing single cable solutions with
data, power (PoE), and trigger (ToE) capabilities.
1.6.1 About Firmware-based ToE
ToE with Action Command transmits specific key data from the
PCIe-GIE7x PRO to the connected camera in the GigE Vision net-
work. When a rising or falling edge of external trigger signal id
detected, firmware sends the pre-configured action command to
the GigE Vision camera, where, once the key data is correlated,
pre-defined actions are initiated. Time gaps between detection of

10 Introduction
Leading EDGE COMPUTING
the external trigger signal by firmware and actual transmission of
the action command is a constant latency with no variation or jitter.
1.6.2 ToE with Action Command Settings
One action command can be pre-defined for each channel of the
PCIe-GIE7x PRO, with two corresponding actions normally able to
be pre-defined in the GigE Vision camera. Each action can be
used to trigger Acquisition Start, Acquisition Stop, Frame Start,
Transfer Start, or Reset of Timestamp. Reset of Timestamp and
other elements may be executed differently depending on camera
manufacturer. The action command content (on the PCIe-GIE7x
PRO firmware) can be configured easily with ADLINK's Smart
GigE Tool and SDK. Action command messages perform as fol-
lows.
Table 1-8: Action Command Messages
For each channel, the ActionDeviceKey, ActionGroupKey, and
ActionGroupMask settings on the PCIe-GIE7x PRO must corre-
spond to those on the connected camera, with only valid key data
sent by PCIe-GIE7x PRO able to trigger the event.
1.7 Software License Management
The PCIe-GIE7x PRO provides cost-effective software license
protection, integrated in a SHA256-based security EEPROM, elim-
inating the need for secure license dongles or additional hardware.
With ADLINK's Smart GigE SDK, software providers and applica-
tion producers can set up pay-per-use and provide the option of
purchasing only specifically needed features and capabilities.
PCIe-GIE7x PRO’s Software License Management allows soft-
ActionDeviceKey Allows the GigE Vision camera to ascertain the
validity of action commands
ActionGroupKey Each GigE Vision camera can be assigned to exactly one group with all grouped cameras
performing action at the same time
ActionGroupMask Serves as a filter specifying the cameras in a
group that responds to a specific Action Command
