Connect the Ethernet Cable
CAUTION:
Cognex recommends only cold-plugging the camera; turn the vision
l
controller power off when connecting or disconnecting the camera.
The Ethernet cable must be shielded. For the ISC-8405 camera,
l
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.
l
The vision controller's CAM ports provide Power over Ethernet (PoE)
l
to supported Cognex devices; connecting other PoE devices to these
ports could damage the vision controller or the PoE device.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the camera's ENET
connector.
If installing the ISC-8405 camera 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 camera. The screws must be tight to ensure a
reliable connection.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the vision controller's CAM
ports.
Note: If using a vision controller that supports a two camera
configuration, connect the camera Ethernet cables to the vision
controller's CAM 0 and CAM 1 ports.
3. Restore power to the vision controller's 24VDC power supply and turn it on
if necessary.
