 Precautions

Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the Cognex product, to reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage:

l The vision system is intended to be supplied by a UL or NRTL listed power supply with a 24VDC output rated for
at least 2A continuous and a maximum short circuit current rating of less than 8A and a maximum power rating of
less than 100VA and marked Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS). Any other voltage creates a risk of fire or
shock and can damage the components. Applicable national and local wiring standards and rules must be
followed.
l To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power
surges, or other irregularities in the power supply, route all cables and wires away from high-voltage power
sources.
l Do not install Cognex products where they are directly exposed to environmental hazards such as excessive
heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.
l Do not expose the image sensor to laser light; image sensors can be damaged by direct, or reflected, laser light.
If your application requires the use of laser light that may strike the image sensor, a lens filter at the
corresponding laser's wavelength is recommended. Contact your local integrator or application engineer for
suggestions.
l Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
l Service loops should be included with all cable connections.
l Cable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out more quickly if a service loop or bend
radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter. The bend radius must begin at least six inches from the connector.
l This device is a business-use (Class A) EMC-compliant device. The seller and user are advised to be aware of
this fact. This device is intended for use in areas outside the home.
l This device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
l All specifications are for reference purpose only and may be changed without notice.

Acquisition Trigger
The vision system features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. The acquisition trigger input can be
configured to trigger from either an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device.

Specification Description
VIH ±15 — ±28 V
VIL 0 — ±5 V
ITYP @ 12 VDC, 2.0 mA
@ 24 VDC, 4.2 mA
Delay 190µs maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of acquisition. Input pulse should be
minimum of 1ms wide.

l To trigger from an NPN type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect COMMON IN to +24V and connect
TRIGGER to the output of the photoelectric sensor. When the output turns on, it pulls TRIGGER down to 0V,
turning the opto-coupler on. For more information, refer to Breakout Cable on page 69.
l To trigger from a PNP photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect Trigger to the output of the photoelectric
sensor and connect COMMON IN to 0V. When the output turns on, it pulls TRIGGER up to +24V, turning the opto-
coupler ON. For more information, refer to Breakout Cable on page 69.

63
 Specifications

General-Purpose Inputs
The vision system features three1 built-in general-purpose inputs, which are optically isolated. The inputs can be
configured as either NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) lines.

Specification Description
VIH ±15 — ±28 V
VIL 0 — ±5 V
ITYP @ 12 VDC, 2.0 mA
@ 24 VDC, 4.2 mA
Delay 1.11ms maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of acquisition. Input pulse should be
minimum of 1ms wide.

For NPN lines, to utilize an input, connect Common In to +24V and connect In 1 to the output of the photoelectric sensor
or PLC. When the output turns on, it pulls In 1 down to 0V, turning the opto-coupler on.
For PNP lines, to utilize an input, connect In 1 to the output of the detector and connect Common In to 0V. When the
output turns on, it pulls In 1 up to +24V, turning the opto-coupler ON.

1 When connected to the Breakout cable, the vision system allows for bi-directional high-speed outputs and general-purpose inputs for HS OUT
2 / IN 2 and HS OUT 3 / IN 3. These lines are configured as outputs by default.

64
 Specifications

High-Speed Outputs
The vision system features four1 built-in, high-speed outputs, which are optically isolated. The high-speed outputs can be
used as either NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) lines.

Specification Description
Voltage 26.4V maximum through external load
Current 50mA maximum sink current
OFF state leakage current 100µA
External load resistance 240 Ohms to 10K Ohms
Each line rated at a maximum 50mA, protected against over-current, short circuits and transients from
switching inductive loads. High current inductive loads require external protection diode.
Delay2 10μs (maximum due to opto-isolators turning ON).

For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (<26.4V). The
output pulls down to less than 3V when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the output is OFF, no
current flows through the load.

For PNP lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the negative supply voltage (0V). When
connected to a 24VDC power supply, the output pulls up greater than 21V when ON, and current flows through the load.
When the output is OFF, no current flows through the load.

1 When connected to the Breakout cable, the vision system allows for bi-directional high-speed outputs and general-purpose inputs for HS OUT
2 / IN 2 and HS OUT 3 / IN 3. These lines are configured as outputs by default.
2 Delay when opto-isolators turn OFF depends on the load to which the output is connected. With a 240 Ohm load, the maximum delay will be
200μs.

65
 Specifications

High-Speed Output Wiring

To connect to an NPN-compatible PLC input, connect High-Speed Output 0, Output 1, Output 2 or Output 3 directly to the
PLC input. When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input down to less than 3V.

To connect to a PNP-compatible PLC input, connect High-Speed Output 0, Output 1, Output 2 or Output 3 directly to the
PLC input. When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input up to greater than 21V.

To connect the high-speed outputs to a relay, LED or similar load, connect the negative side of the load to the output and
the positive side to +24V. When the output switches on, the negative side of the load is pulled down to less than 3V, and
24V appears across the load. Use a protection diode for a large inductive load, with the anode connected to the output
and the cathode connected to +24V.
