1. Assembling the Camera Stand
The camera stand for the Cognex (#00-1430 -0000) is used to hold the Cognex Vision Sensor (QC
camera) in position in order to carry out ViewFlex operations. This section describes how to attach the
camera to the camera stand.
To assemble the camera stand:
1. Secure the base to a table.
▪ On a slotted table, screw four M5 Allen screws through the base and into four M5 slot nuts
(shown below).
▪ On a Formica table, secure the base directly to the table using four pan head Phillips screws.
▪ If you are connecting the stand to a CIM track, use the angular connector with accompanying
bolts and nuts (catalog number 110633).

2. Attach the camera to the bracket using two M3 Phillips screws. Fasten the screws.
Note: You must ensure that the camera is secure once attached.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable (green) and the breakout cable (black) to the camera. Secure the
cables to the vertical beam with two cable clamps. The clamps should be secured with M5 flat
head Allen screws and T-slot nuts.
4. Secure the loose sections of the cables to the table using cable clamps and nylon cable ties. The
clamps should be secured to a slotted table with M5 flat head Allen screws and T-slot nuts, and
to a Formica table with pan head Phillips screws.

2. Wiring the Power Connections
You Cognex vision sensor’s breakout cable requires connection to a 24VDC adapter before it can be
connected to the power supply unit.
Note: For this procedure, you require a small flat-head screwdriver.
To wire the breakout cable:
1. Locate and separate the black and red wires at the end of the breakout cable. The black wire is
the ground connection and the red wire is the +24VDC connection. For information about the
other wires in the breakout cable, see the appendix.
2. Connect the black and red wires to the adapter, using the screwdriver to secure the wires:
▪ Connect the black wire to the adapter’s (-) slot.
▪ Connect the red wire to the adapter’s (+) slot.
Note: Unused wires can be clipped short or tied back using a tie made of non-conductive
material. Keep all bare wires separated from the +24VDC wire.
3. Connect the adapter to the power supply.
4. Connect the power supply to a wall adapter.
5. Ensure that the vision sensor’s green power LED is lit.
