The vision system can access the CIO-MICRO I/O module's general-purpose input and output lines via an Ethernet connection to the I/O module. Optionally, the I/O Module cable can be connected to access the I/O module's TRIGGER+, TRIGGER-, HS OUT 0, HS OUT 1 and HS COMMON lines.
Note:
- When the vision system is connected to the I/O Module cable:
- Illumination accessories attached to the vision system faceplate or LIGHT connector are not supported. If these illumination accessories are attached, the Breakout cable must be used to supply power to the vision system and a connection to the I/O module established via Ethernet only.
- The vision system's IN 1, IN 2 / HS OUT 2, and IN 3 / HS OUT 3 lines are not supported.
- HS OUT0 and HSOUT1 are configurable asNPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) with 50mA maximum current and the general-purpose outputs are configurable as NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) with 100mA maximum current.
- The CIO-MICRO I/O module does not support Gigabit pass-through operation. If you need Gigabit operation, connect a LAN cable from a Gigabit Ethernet switch to the I/O module’s LAN port and connect the vision system Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet switch.
- Perform wiring or adjustments to I/O devices when the vision system is not receiving power.
I/O Port | Connects the I/O module to the vision system using the I/O Module cable, and provides power, trigger and high-speed output signals to the vision system. |
MODULE OK LED | Illuminates after the I/O module has powered on, has booted up, and is ready to communicate with the vision system. |
COMM OK LED | Blinks continuously until the vision system has established a successful connection to the I/O module from In‑Sight software. Once successfully connected and communicating properly, the green LED is constantly illuminated. |
PoE STATUS LED | Not supported. When the vision system is connected to the I/O module's PoE port, the POE STATUS LED may blink. This is normal and does not affect operation of the vision system. |
PoE Port | Connects the I/O module to the vision system, providing the vision system with Ethernet. The green LED blinks when a network connection to the vision system is detected. The orange LED blinks when network activity is detected. |
LAN Port | Connects the I/O module to an Ethernet network. The green LED blinks when a network connection to the local area network is detected. The orange LED blinks when network activity is detected. |
Frame Ground Terminal | Connects the I/O module to a frame ground. |
RS-232 Port | Connects the I/O module to an external serial device using an RS-232 (DB9) serial cable. Provides RS-232 communications to the vision system. |
High-Speed Output Status LEDs (HS OUT 0 and HS OUT 1) | Illuminates to indicate the high-speed output signal for the In‑Sight vision system has switched ON. The LEDs illuminate even if the I/O module’s high-speed terminals are not connected to anything. In addition, the I/O module displays the last known state of the high-speed output line. Therefore, the LEDs may be illuminated even if the vision system's I/O module cable is disconnected from the I/O module. Note: The I/O module's high-speed output terminals (labeled HS OUT 0 and HS OUT 1) correspond to the vision system’s built-in high-speed outputs when connected to the I/O module cable. These signals are considered high-speed because they pass directly through the I/O module without processing, which provides minimal delay. |
I/O and Trigger Status LEDs | Illuminates to indicate that an input/output signal has switched ON. |
Terminal Blocks | Connects the I/O module to 24VDC power, trigger, external I/O, high-speed outputs and common connections. |
-
Connect the I/O module's power wires.
CAUTION: Never connect the I/O module to a power source other than 24VDC. Any other voltage creates a risk of fire or shock and can damage the hardware. Do not connect the 24VDC power source to any terminals other than the 24VDC + and – power terminals.
- Verify that the 24VDC power supply is unplugged and not receiving power.
- Use a screwdriver to loosen the I/O module's power terminals (labeled 24VDC + and –).
- Insert the 24VDC + and – wires (16 - 22 AWG, solid or stranded wire) from the power supply into the 24VDC + and – terminals on the I/O module.
- Tighten the screw terminals with the screwdriver to secure the wire leads in the terminal block; the maximum torque is 0.1921 Nm (1.7 in-lb).
-
Connect a frame ground wire to the I/O module’s Frame Ground terminal. Connect the other end of the frame ground wire to frame ground.
CAUTION: The shield ground connections of the RS-232 port, LAN port, PoE port, I/O port and Frame Ground terminal are internally connected. The system grounding is at a zero ground potential. This zero-ground potential extends through the cable and to peripheral equipment, such as a vision system or PLC. To ensure safe operating conditions, check ground connections to ensure that they meet a zero ground potential.
-
Connect the I/O module's I/O wires.
- Determine how I/O devices will be connected to the I/O module’s input and output terminals.
- To loosen the appropriate screw terminals, use a screwdriver.
-
Connect the input and output wires to the input and output terminals.
-
Connect the other end of the input and output wires to the corresponding I/O device.
- Tighten the screw terminals with the screwdriver to secure the wire leads in the terminal block; the maximum torque is 0.1921 Nm (1.7 in-lb).
- To connect the vision system to a serial device, plug a RS-232 serial cable (DB9 male connector) into the I/O module’s RS-232 port and connect the other end of the cable to the serial device. Tighten the connector screws to secure it to the I/O module.
- Connect to an Ethernet network.
- Connect a LAN cable (RJ-45 connector) to the I/O module’s LAN port.
- Connect the other end of the LANcable to a switch/router or PC, as applicable.
- Connect the vision system's Ethernet cable.
- Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the vision system ENET connector.
- Connect the Ethernet cable’s RJ-45 connector to the I/O module’s PoE port or to a switch/router, as applicable.
-
(Optional) Connect the I/O Module cable (CCB-PWRIO-MOD-xx) to the vision system to gain access to the I/O module's TRIGGER+, TRIGGER-, HS OUT 0, HS OUT 1 and HS COMMON terminals.
- Connect the I/O Module cable’s M12 connector to the vision system’s PWR connector.
- Connect the I/O Module cable’s DB15 connector to the I/O module’s I/O connector.
- Restore power to the 24VDC power supply and turn it on if necessary.
