  • Page 25: Chapter 2: Installing Light Control Hardware

    Cognex frame grabber hardware and Cognex software can be used together to control Cognex light modules dynamically. This means that power to the LED arrays in the light module can be adjusted up or down in mode and intensity to obtain the best image to capture for vision processing.

  • Page 26: Bright Field And Dark Field Illumination

    If illumination in one direction does not produce a clear image, you can use dark field illumination in multiple directions. Cognex software is used to vary the ratio of bright field to dark field illumination to obtain the best image for vision processing.
  • Page 27 Installing Light Control Hardware When using one or more light control modules, Cognex strongly recommends setting jumper J3 with pins 2-3 covered, and using the external 12 V power cable, P/N 300-0175. This is because PCI slots are limited by the PCI standard to providing no more than 750 mA per slot.

    Case 1, standard configuration of one light module per camera port One Primary, One Auxiliary per Camera Your Cognex software package may also support the use of two light modules each for one or two camera ports. When there are two light modules per camera port, one light module is primary and one auxiliary.
  • Page 29 Table 8. Case 3, pairing cameras together and auxiliaries together Your Cognex software package may also support borrowing a light port from another camera port that has a camera connected but no light module. In this case, you can connect up to four cameras, of which two cameras have two light modules each and two cameras have no light modules.
