Connect the Ethernet Cable
CAUTION:
The Ethernet cable must be shielded. For the In-Sight 8405 vision
l
system, Cognex strongly recommends Cat 6 or Cat 7 Ethernet cables
with S/STP shielding.
The Ethernet cable shield must be grounded at the far end. If using a
l
PoE injector, a ground wire should be connected from the Ethernet
shield at the PoE injector to frame ground or Earth ground, and a
digital voltmeter used to validate the grounding. If using a PoE switch,
it should have a metal case, with the case grounded to frame ground
or Earth ground.
The I/O module's PoE port provides power and Ethernet connectivity
l
to the In-Sight 8000 series vision system. Connecting third-party
devices to the I/O module's PoE port could damage the I/O module.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the vision system's ENET
connector.
If installing the In-Sight 8405 vision system and using a compatible
horizontal screw-locking Ethernet cable, use a screw driver to tighten the
connector screws until snug, to secure it to the vision system. The screws
must be tight to ensure a reliable connection.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable's RJ-45 connector to the I/O module's PoE port.
3. Restore power to the I/O module's 24VDC power supply and turn it on if
necessary.
