Installation Table 2-1: Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Component Functions ITEM FUNCTION In-Sight Camera Connects the I/O cable, which provides the power, trigger and I/O signals to the connected Connector In-Sight sensor. RS-232 Remote Connects the Serial cable, which provides the RS-232 communications between the I/O Connector module and an external serial device.
Caution: Disconnect power to the 1460 I/O Expansion module before removing or installing opto-isolators. Fuses Each output is protected with a 2.0A, field replaceable fuse (Cognex P/N 121-0048). The retention bar must be removed to install or replace a fuse. Like the opto-isolator modules, the fuses come uninstalled..
Installation Connecting the 1460 I/O Expansion Module To connect a 1460 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 terminal blocks on the 1460 I/O Expansion Module.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference 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 1460 I/O Expansion Module. Figure 2-4: Connecting the I/O Cable and Serial Cable Plug the male DB15 connector of the I/O Cable into the corresponding female connector on the 1460 I/O Expansion Module.
Installation Insert wire leads from a 24VDC supply for the +24V power and ground into the 2 pin terminal plug labeled “Power Input” on the Expansion Module (Figure 2-6). Caution: Never connect the 1460 I/O Expansion Module to a power source other than 24VDC.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference 2.6.1 Configuring the 1460 I/O Expansion Module using In-Sight Explorer Physically connect the 1460 I/O Expansion Module to the In-Sight sensor, as described previ- ously in Section 2.5. Open the In-Sight Explorer program and logon to the sensor. From the Device menu, select the Discrete I/O Settings submenu.
Installation Figure 2-8: Discrete Output Settings (In-Sight Explorer) When an existing .JOB file containing a WriteDiscrete function is loaded on an In-Sight sensor to which the I/O Expansion Module has just been added, the Start Bit and Number NOTE of Bits parameters in WriteDiscrete must be changed to reflect the new configuration of the I/O lines.

Installation Connecting and Configuring External Lights The Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module provides light power output for 2 CCS lights. Light power input is limited to 12 or 24VDC, which must be connected at the LIGHT POWER input connector. When HSOUT 1 is enabled in the discrete output dialog as Light Control, the input light power will be output to both light connectors at the start of acquisition for a duration equal to the set exposure time.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference Acquisition Trigger Input Specifications Table 3-2: Acquisition Trigger Input Specifications SPECIFICATION DESCRIPTION Voltage ON 20 to 28V (24V nominal) OFF 0 to 3V (12V nominal threshold) Current ON 10 to 14.4mA OFF <300µA Resistance ~2K Ohms Delay 250 µSec maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of acquisition.
Specifications To trigger from a PNP (pull-up) photo-detector or PLC output, connect TRIG+ to the output of the detector and connect TRIG to 0V. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIG+ up to the supplied voltage, energizing the In-Sight camera’s trigger (Figure 3-3). Figure 3-3: Acquisition Trigger Input (PNP Source) To trigger from a differential input source, connect the negative input to TRIG- and the posi- tive input to TRIG+.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference Input and Output Specifications 3.4.1 General Purpose Inputs The 1460 I/O Expansion Module extends the capabilities of supported In-Sight vision sen- sors by providing eight independent, general-purpose inputs (IN0-IN7) that can be used to trigger event execution on the sensor.
Specifications 3.4.2 High Speed and General Purpose Outputs In-Sight 3400 and 5000 sensors feature two built-in, high-speed discrete outputs. The 1460 I/O Expansion Module provides access to these outputs while providing an additional eight general-purpose discrete outputs that can be used to trigger remote events. The high-speed outputs are passed through the I/O module without processing.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference Connector and Terminal Block Specifications 3.5.1 RS-232 Remote Connector The RS-232 Remote connector transmits serial data between the 1460 I/O Expansion Mod- ule and a remote device. Status LEDs are provided for the TxD and RxD lines on this port. These LEDs will illuminate only when there is activity on the associated line.
Specifications 3.5.3 Light Power Output Cable The Light Power Cable provides the interface between the Light Power Output on the 1460 I/O Expansion Module and a +12VDC or +24VDC CCS Light module. Table 3-7: Light Power Cable Pin Assignments Light Power Output Connector 12VDC Connector 24VDC Connector PIN #...
Appendix A A.1 Configuring the Discrete Output The Discrete Output Settings dialog configures the parallel digital output lines on an In-Sight device. Discrete output signals are written out from the spreadsheet using the WriteDiscrete function. The number of accessible outputs varies per In-Sight model and is shown in Table A-1.
The Discrete Output dialog consists of three configurable parameters: Name, Type and Details. A.1.1 Line Name A new Name for an output Line may be assigned by selecting the field containing the default name, and entering the new name using the text entry dialog. The name may be up to 15 characters.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference Table A-2: Discrete Output Dialog Type Parameter (Continued) TYPE DESCRIPTION I/O Module Standby On means that the 1460 I/O Expansion Module has detected a loss of communi- cation with the In-Sight sensor and is trying to re-establish the connection. The line is Off as long as the 1460 I/O Expansion Module does not detect a loss of communication between it and the In-Sight sensor.

Table A-5: Discrete Input Dialog Type Parameter TYPE DESCRIPTION User Data General purpose input line; used to drive events in the spreadsheet or to set a value in the spreadsheet via the ReadDiscrete function.
Appendix B B.1 Configuring the Expansion Module using In-Sight PC Host As mentioned in Section 2.6, before the 1460 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 1460 I/O Expansion Module may be configured using the In-Sight PC Host software.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference Figure B-3: Discrete Output dialog, default configuration (In-Sight PC Host) Open the drop-down list to the left of the OK button and select I/O Expansion Module. The Discrete Output dialog will automatically reconfigure to correspond to the I/O Expansion Mod- ule, as shown in Figure B-4.
Figure B-4: Discrete Output dialog, I/O Expansion configuration (In-Sight PC Host) Select OK to save the new settings to the sensor’s flash RAM. An error message will appear if the I/O Expansion Module is not attached to the In-Sight NOTE sensor, and the Discrete Output dialog will return to its default configuration.
Model 1460 I/O Expansion Module Installation and Reference B.2 Enabling Hardware Handshaking using In-Sight PC Host Open the System menu (Figure B-1). Select Settings to open the Settings menu (Figure B-2). Select Serial Port 1 to open the Serial Port 1 dialog (Figure B-5). Figure B-5: Serial Port Dialog (PC Host) Select Hardware from the Handshake drop-down list (Figure B-6).
Appendix C C.1 Wiring Inputs and Outputs The following figures show basic wiring for some of the more common configurations. • The 2 pin 24VDC input, labled CAMERA POWER, is the only +24VDC connection required on the 1460 I/O Expansion Module. Unless necessary, power should not be NOTES provided from the pins labeled +24V (in the Input/Output terminal blocks).
