Page 4: Introduction
Introduction The GoMax Smart Vision Accelerator is a hardware solution that accelerates any Gocator sensor to meet inline production speeds, without the need for a PC. The plug and play functionality of GoMax lets you quickly and easily add powerful data processing to a Gocator system, achieving faster cycle times and enhancing overall inspection performance. - Page 5 You can also add multiple GoMax units to a system, each unit accelerating one or more sensors, to scale up to faster speeds. Note however that you can't use multiple GoMax units to accelerate a single sensor. GoMax Smart Vision Accelerator: User Manual Introduction • 5...

Page 11: Adding Gomax To A Sensor System
Adding GoMax to a Sensor System LMI recommends adding GoMax to a sensor system that is already fully set up and configured. For information on setting up a sensor system, see the user manual of the sensors used in the system. -
Page 12: Connecting Power
Take particular care not to use a Master 100 power supply with GoMax, as the barrel connector is identical. LMI recommends powering up the GoMax unit and performing the initial configuration of the GoMax unit before physically connecting the unit to the sensor system. - Page 13 An LED indicator on the unit lights when power is applied. The unit is ready for initial configuration (setting an IP address). GoMax Smart Vision Accelerator: User Manual Adding GoMax to a Sensor System • 13...
