Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision System Mounting the Vision System The vision system provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface. CAUTION: The vision system has to be grounded, either by mounting the vision system to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the mounting fixture of the vision system to frame ground or Earth ground.
Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision System Converter Mounting Bracket (ISB-7000-7K) 1. Align the converter mounting bracket with the mounting holes on the vision system. 2. Insert the M3 screws into the mounting holes and use a 2.5 mm hex wrench to tighten. The maximum torque is 0.90 Nm (8 in-lb).
Setting Up Your In-Sight Vision System Connection Options This section summarizes connection options. Connecting the Ethernet Cable CAUTION: The Ethernet cable shield has to be grounded at the far end. Whatever this cable is plugged into (typically a switch or router) should have a grounded Ethernet connector. A digital voltmeter has to be used to validate the grounding.
Follow the steps below to install and connect your vision system to the In-Sight Vision Suite. 1. Download the latest version of In-Sight from support.cognex.com/ and follow the on-screen steps. 2. Connect the 3800 series vision system to your PC.

Specifications Acquisition Trigger Input The vision system features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. You can configure the acquisition trigger input to trigger from an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device. To trigger from an NPN type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect COMMON IN to +24 VDC and connect IN 0 to the output of the photoelectric sensor.
Specifications High-Speed Outputs Specification Description Voltages : 26 VDC through external load : ≤ ± 3 V @ 50 mA Current : 50 mA maximum sink or source current Each line is protected against over-current, short circuits and transients from switching inductive loads. High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.
Specifications Ethernet Cable The Ethernet cable provides Ethernet connectivity to the vision system. The Ethernet cable is used to connect the vision system to other network devices. P1 Pin Number Wire Color Signal Name P2 Pin Number White/Orange TxRx A + Orange TxRx A - White/Green...
Specifications External Light Connector The LIGHT connector of the vision system is used to connect the External Light cable to an external lighting device, providing power and strobe control. You can connect the External Light cable to either a continuous or strobed lighting device. Before using an external lighting device, you must configure the light settings within In-Sight Vision Suite.
