1.3 In-Sight Support Many information resources are available to assist you in using the I/O Expansion Module with In-Sight vision sensors. • Getting Started with In-Sight, Cognex P/N 590-6368 (English), 590-6368F (French), 590-6368G (German), or 590-6368J (Japanese). ® • In-Sight Explorer Help, an on-line HTML Help file provided on the In-Sight CD-ROM (for In-Sight Explorer software).
2 Installation In this section… Connecting the I/O Expansion Module ......5 Configuring the In-Sight Sensor........8 2.1 Connecting the I/O Expansion Module To connect an I/O Expansion Module to the In-Sight sensor: Verify that the 24VDC power supply is switched off. Connect the power and ground wires from remote I/O devices to terminals on the I/O Expansion Module.
Installation Tighten the screw terminals with the screwdriver to secure the wire leads in the terminal block. If the In-Sight sensor will be communicating with a remote serial device, plug the male DB9 connector into the RS-232 REMOTE connector (female DB9) on the I/O Expansion Module.
+24V LED on the Expansion Module will indicate that the sensor and Expansion Module are receiving power. NOTE If you experience intermittent serial communication faults when using the 40-foot Expansion Module Cable (P/N 300-0341-40), replace the 40-foot cable with the 15-foot cable. If problems still occur, please contact Cognex Technical Support.
Installation 2.2 Configuring the In-Sight Sensor Before the I/O Expansion Module can be used, the In-Sight sensor’s settings must be configured to recognize the availability of the additional inputs and outputs, as well as the added serial hardware handshake capability. The I/O Expansion Module may be configured using In-Sight Explorer.

Wiring Inputs and Outputs B.1.2 1450 I/O Expansion Module General-Purpose Input from PLC Sinking Output The general-purpose inputs can also be triggered from PLC outputs by connecting an additional, external resistor (for example, 4.7K Ohms 0.25W) from a +24V OUT terminal on the I/O Expansion Module to the input.
Wiring Inputs and Outputs B.1.4 1450 I/O Expansion Module High-Speed Output to PLC Sourcing Input High-speed outputs can also be used with a PNP-compatible PLC input if a pull-up resistor (for example, 2.2K Ohm 0.5W) is connected from the high-speed output to a +24V OUT terminal on the I/O Expansion Module.
Model 1450 I/O Expansion Module Installation & Reference B.1.5 1450 I/O Expansion Module High-Speed Output to Pilot Light CAUTION High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.
Model 1450 I/O Expansion Module Installation & Reference B.1.7 1450 I/O Expansion Module General-Purpose Output to PLC Sourcing Input The Model 1450 I/O Module provides 1mA of source current. If more current is required, a 1.0K Ohm 1W pull-up resistor can be added; connect one end of the resistor to the output and the other end to a +24V OUT terminal on the I/O Expansion Module.
Wiring Inputs and Outputs B.1.8 1450 I/O Expansion Module General-Purpose Output to Pilot Light CAUTION High current inductive loads require an external protection diode. NOTE When the General-Purpose Output is wired for sink mode, the In-Sight logic is inverted. Therefore, when the In-Sight Write Discrete function is OFF, the load is energized.
Model 1450 I/O Expansion Module Installation & Reference B.1.9 1450 I/O Expansion Module General-Purpose Output to Relay Coil CAUTION High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.
