Precautions

Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex product:l

The safety of any system incorporating this product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

l

Do not install Cognex products where they are exposed to environmental hazards such as excessive heat, dust,
moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.

lRoute cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage power sources to reduce the risk of damage or
malfunction from the following causes: over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, or otherirregularities in the power supply.

l

Do not expose the image sensor to laser light. Image sensors can be damaged by direct, or reflected, laser light. If
your application requires laser light that might strike the image sensor, use a lens filter at the corresponding laser
wavelength. For suggestions, contact your local integrator or application engineer.

lThis product does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to productcomponents. Unauthorized modifications can void your warranty.

lChanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equipment.

lInclude service loops with cable connections.

lEnsure that the cable bend radius begins at least six inches from the connector. Cable shielding can be degraded orcables can be damaged or wear out faster if a service loop or bend radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter.

lThis device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

l

All specifications are for reference purposes only and can change without notice.

Mounting the Vision Sensor
CAUTION: The vision sensor has to be grounded, either by mounting the vision sensor to a fixture that is electricallygrounded or by attaching a wire from the vision sensor’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground. If a groundwire is used, it has to be attached to one of the mounting points on the bottom plate of the vision sensor and not to themounting points on the front of the vision sensor.

17Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision Sensor
1. Align the vision sensor with the holes on the universal mounting bracket.

18Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision Sensor
2. Insert the screws.
Note: The vision sensor has two sets of threaded holes for mounting. Use only one set depending on the best
configuration for your application. For the threaded holes closer to the front of the vision sensor you need M3X5
screws, for those closer to the connectors M3X9.

19

Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision Sensor
3. If needed, you can rotate the mounting bracket up to 45 degrees. To do so, loosen the screw in the curved slot.

Note:
Mounting the vision sensor at a slight, 15 degree angle reduces reflections and improves performance.

20

Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision Sensor

Connecting the Ethernet Cable
CAUTION: The Ethernet cable shield has to be grounded at the far end. Whatever this cable is plugged into (typically aswitch or router) should have a grounded Ethernet connector. A digital voltmeter has to be used to validate thegrounding. If the far end device is not grounded, a ground wire should be added in compliance with local electricalcodes.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the vision sensor ENET connector.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable’s RJ-45 connector to a switch/router or PC, as applicable.
Note: Besides powering the vision sensor through a Breakout Cable, it is possible to power through PoE (Power over
Ethernet) connection as well, in which case it is not necessary to use a Breakout Cable.
In-Sight SnAPP configurations support PoE connection.

21

Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision Sensor

Connecting the Power and I/O Breakout Cable
CAUTION: To reduce emissions, connect the far end of the Breakout cable shield to frame ground.
Note:lPerform wiring or adjustments to I/O devices when the vision sensor is not receiving power.

l

You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back. Keep bare wires
separated from the +24 V DC wire.

1. Verify that the 24 V DC power supply is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Attach the +24 V DC connector of the Power and I/O Breakout cable and Ground wires to the corresponding
terminals on the power supply. For more information, see Specifications on page 29.
3. Attach the M12 connector of the Power and I/O Breakout Cable to the 24 V DC connector of the vision sensor.
4. Restore power to the 24 V DC power supply and turn it on if necessary.

Connecting to a USB-C Device
1. Connect the USB-C cable to the connector of the vision sensor.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to your laptop.
3. Once the vision sensor is fully powered on, look for the vision sensor:l

If you set a name for the vision sensor, type in the following into your browser and press Enter:[Your vision sensorName].local

l

If you did not set a name for the vision sensor, the name of the vision sensor is sp2800- and the last six digitsof the MAC address of the vision sensor. Type the following into your browser and press Enter:[sp2800-last six digits of the MACaddress].local

Note:
l

You can find the MAC address on the back of the vision sensor.

l

TCP/IP is the only protocol supported through USB-C. You have to use I/O, or Ethernet communications
for all other run-time output. Make sure the USB port your vision sensor is connected to is not assigned
to a static IP and that you have enabled DHCP.

The vision sensor features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. You can configure the acquisition trigger
input to trigger from an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device.
l

To trigger from an NPN type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect COMMON IN to +24 VDC and connect IN 0
to the output of the photoelectric sensor. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER down to 0 VDC, turning the
opto-coupler ON.

l

To trigger from a PNP photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect IN 0 to the output of the photoelectric sensor andconnect COMMON IN to 0 VDC. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER up to +24 VDC, turning the optocoupler ON.

IMAX: 50 mA maximum sink or source current
Each line is protected against over-current, short circuits and transients from switching inductive loads.
High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.

For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (< 26 VDC). The
output pulls down to less than 3 VDC when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the output is OFF, nocurrent flows through the load.

COMMON OUT

For PNP lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the negative supply voltage (0 VDC). Whenconnected to a 24 VDC power supply, the output pulls up greater than 21 VDC when ON, and current flows through the load.
When the output is OFF, no current flows through the load.

High Speed Output Wiring
To connect to an NPN-compatible PLC input, connect one of the vision sensor's high-speed outputs directly to the PLC input.
When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input down to less than 3 VDC.

To connect to a PNP-compatible PLC input, connect one of the vision sensor's high-speed outputs directly to the PLC input.
When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input up to greater than 21 VDC.

To connect the high-speed outputs to a relay, LED or similar load, connect the negative side of the load to the output and thepositive side to +24VDC. When the output switches on, the negative side of the load is pulled down to less than 3 VDC, and21 VDC appears across the load. Use a protection diode for a large inductive load, with the anode connected to the output
and the cathode connected to +24 VDC.
