Connect The Ethernet Cable - Cognex In-Sight 8000 Serie Manual

Connect the Ethernet Cable

The vision system's ENET connector provides the Ethernet connection for network
communications and supplies power to the vision system.
1. Verify that the PoE injector or PoE switch is unplugged and not receiving
power.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE switch or PoE injector.
CAUTION:
3. Connect the other end of the cable 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.
4. Restore power to the PoE injector or PoE switch's power supply, and turn it
on if necessary.
The Ethernet cable must be shielded. For the In-Sight 8405
l
vision 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
l
using a 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.
