Installation

Connect USB Devices (Optional)

If connecting a USB mouse, keyboard or storage device to the vision controller, connect the USB device to one of the vision controller's USBports.
CAUTION: Cognex recommends only cold-plugging USB devices; turn the vision controller power off when
connecting or disconnecting USB devices.
Note:
l When using the vision controller in an electrically noisy environment, it is important to use USB devices that
are rated for industrial use in the same environment. Most commercially available USB devices are rated for home use but are not designed for, or rated for, use in industrial environments. The use of peripherals not fully rated for the environment of use can result in impaired system immunity to nearby electrical noise.
l USB drives should be formatted with a FAT32 or NTFS file system.

Connect the 24VDC Power Supply

The vision controller is shipped with a 24VDC power connector.
Note:
l A DIN rail-mountable power supply accessory is available. Please contact your Cognex sales
representative for more information.
l If using a power supply with a ground terminal, the terminal must be connected to earth ground. If using a
DIN rail-mounted power supply, the power supply must be mounted to an earth-grounded DIN rail. Wire and connections must be in accordance with these instructions, the National Electrical Code and applicable national and local wiring standards and rules.
1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the wire retention screws on the 24VDC power connector.
24
Installation
3. Insert the power supply's +24VDC (Power) wire to Pin 1 and the -24VDC (Return) wire to Pin 2 on the power connector. Connect a frame ground wire from Pin 3 to frame ground. Recommended wiring is 14-18 AWG, solid or stranded wire. Refer to 24VDC Power Connector Terminal Assignments on page35 for terminal pin assignments.
CAUTION: Do not connect AC power directly to the vision controller's power connector. Connecting AC
power will damage the vision controller.
4. Tighten the wire retention screws to secure the wire leads in the terminals; the maximum torque is 0.6 Nm (5.3 in-lb).
5. Insert the power connector into the vision controller's 24VDC power port. Tighten the connector screws to secure it to the vision controller.
6. If a connected camera or sensor has a separate power supply, restore power to the camera or sensor's 24VDC power supply and turn it on if necessary.
7. Restore power to the vision controller's 24VDC power supply and turn it on if necessary.

Vision Controller Specifications

Inputs

The vision controller features eight independent inputs (INPUTS 0 - 7), which can be used to trigger vision controller events. The inputs are optically isolated and typically connected (directly or indirectly) to a PLC or photoelectric sensor. The vision controller will respond to an event when the voltage difference between the INPUT and INPUT COMMON exceeds 10VDC. Refer to Wire Inputs and Outputs on page38 for common wiring configurations.
Note:
l There are two input terminal rows. INPUTS 0 - 3 share the COMMON 1 connection and INPUTS 4 - 7 share
the COMMON 2 connection. Therefore the input devices for each terminal row must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing.
l To maintain optical isolation of the I/O lines, the devices connected to these lines must not be connected to
the same power supply as the vision controller. If they are connected to, or share a ground with, the same power supply, they may still function but will no longer be optically isolated.

Wire Inputs and Outputs

Wire Inputs and Outputs
The following figures show basic wiring for some of the more common I/O configurations.

Input from PLC - Current Sinking

To configure the input as a sinking input, connect INPUT COMMON (for example, C1) to the high voltage reference (+24VDC) and connect one of the INPUTS on the same terminal row (for example, INPUT 0) to the OUTPUT of the photoelectric sensor or PLC. When the PLC output turns ON, the INPUT is pulled down to a low voltage level.
Note:
l There are two input terminal rows. INPUTS 0 - 3 share the COMMON 1 connection and INPUTS 4 - 7 share
the COMMON 2 connection. Therefore the input devices for each terminal row must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing.
l To maintain optical isolation of the I/O lines, the devices connected to these lines must not be connected to
the same power supply as the vision controller. If they are connected to, or share a ground with, the same power supply, they may still function but will no longer be optically isolated.
