32
Mounting the Vision System
The vision system provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface.

CAUTION: The vision system has to be grounded, either by mounting the vision system to a fixture that is
electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the vision system’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth
ground. If a ground wire is used, it has to be attached to one of the four mounting points on the back plate of the
vision system and not to the mounting points on the front of the vision system.

Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the vision system. Insert the M3X3.5 screws into the
mounting holes.

Note:
Mounting the In-Sight 2800 at a slight angle (15°) reduces reflections and improves performance of the vision
system.

33
Connecting the Ethernet Cable
CAUTION: The Ethernet cable shield has to be grounded at the far end. Whatever this cable is plugged into
(typically a switch or router) should have a grounded Ethernet connector. A digital voltmeter has to be used to
validate the grounding. If the far end device is not grounded, a ground wire should be added in compliance with
local electrical codes.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the vision system ENET connector.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable’s RJ-45 connector to a switch/router or PC, as applicable.

Note: Besides powering the vision system through a Breakout Cable, it is possible to power through PoE (Power
over Ethernet) connection as well, in which case it is not necessary to use a Breakout Cable.
IS2800 Mini configurations support PoE connection. The Multi Torch configuration does not support PoE
connection.

34
Connecting the Power and I/O Breakout Cable
CAUTION: To reduce emissions, connect the far end of the Breakout cable shield to frame ground.

Note:
l Perform wiring or adjustments to I/O devices when the vision system is not receiving power.
l You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back. Keep bare
wires separated from the +24VDC wire.

1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Attach the Power and I/O Breakout cable's +24VDC and Ground wires to the corresponding terminals on the
power supply. For more information, see Specifications on page 39.
3. Attach the Power and I/O Breakout Cable's M12 connector to the vision system's 24 VDC connector.
4. Restore power to the 24VDC power supply and turn it on if necessary.

Acquisition Trigger Input

The vision system features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. You can configure the acquisition
trigger input to trigger from an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device.

l To trigger from an NPN type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect COMMON IN to +24 VDC and connect
IN 0 to the output of the photoelectric sensor. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER down to 0 VDC, turning
the opto-coupler ON.
l To trigger from a PNP photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect IN 0 to the output of the photoelectric sensor
and connect COMMON IN to 0 VDC. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER up to +24 VDC, turning the
opto-coupler ON.

High-Speed Outputs
Specification Description
Voltages VMAX : 26 VDC through external load
VOL : ≤ ± 3 V @ 50 mA
Current IMAX : 50 mA maximum sink or source current
Each line is protected against over-current, short circuits and transients from switching inductive loads.
High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.

For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (< 26 VDC).
The output pulls down to less than 3 VDC when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the output is
OFF, no current flows through the load.

Number Output
1 NPN OUT
2 COMMON OUT

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

Number Output
1 COMMON OUT
2 PNP OUT

42
 Specifications

High Speed Output Wiring

To connect to an NPN-compatible PLC input, connect one of the vision system's high-speed outputs directly to the PLC
input. When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input down to less than 3 VDC.

To connect to a PNP-compatible PLC input, connect one of the vision system's high-speed outputs directly to the PLC
input. When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input up to greater than 21 VDC.

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 +24VDC. When the output switches on, the negative side of the load is pulled down to less than 3
VDC, and 21 VDC 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 +24 VDC.

 Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the Housing
To clean the outside of the vision system housing, use a small amount of mild detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on
a cleaning cloth. Do not pour the cleaner on the vision system housing.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean any In-Sight product with harsh or corrosive solvents, including lye, methyl ethyl
ketone (MEK) or gasoline.

Clean the Vision System Image Sensor Window

To remove dust from the outside of the image sensor window, use a pressurized air duster. The air must be free of oil,
moisture or other contaminants that could remain on the glass and possibly degrade the image. Do not touch the glass
window. If oil or smudges remain, use a cotton bud and alcohol (ethyl, methyl, or isopropyl) to clean the window. Do not
pour the alcohol on the window.

Clean the Vision System Lens Cover

To remove dust from the lens cover, use a pressurized air duster. The air must be free of oil, moisture or other
contaminants that could remain on the lens cover. To clean the plastic window of the lens cover, use a small amount of
isopropyl alcohol on a cleaning cloth. Do not scratch the plastic window. Do not pour the alcohol on the plastic window.
