Sensor Mounting Configuration

Perform the following steps to change between in-line and right-angle configuration.

Note:
l Switching between in-line and right-angle configuration is recommended only up to 10 times in the lifetime
of the vision sensor.
l Disconnect the vision sensor from power before changing the orientation.

WARNING: Make sure that no electrostatic charges are applied to the PCB. (e.g. wear ESD shoes.) If the main
module is separated from the I/O connector module, take care to assemble them correctly. Otherwise, the IP rating
can be compromised.

1. Carefully remove the screw covers, threaded nuts and washers.

2. Detach the main module and the I/O connector module by firmly pulling
them apart.

3. Change the orientation.

Note: Make sure that the gasket is properly seated on the main
module.

4. Reattach the I/O connector module to the main module.

13
 Installation

5. Reinstall the washers and loosely fasten the modules together with the
two T10 cap nuts, but do not tighten.

6. After each cap nut has been fastened, torque to 0.12 Nm (1.06 in-lb) and
reinstall the screw covers.

Note: There are unique left and right screw covers. Take care to
attach them correctly.

14
 Installation

Mount the Vision Sensor

Mounting the vision sensor at a slight angle (15°) can reduce image glare and improve inspection performance.

In-line Configuration
Use the universal mounting bracket (BKT-2000-UNIV-000) with the mounting holes on the I/O connector module.

Right-Angle Configuration

15
 Installation

Connect the Ethernet Cable

1. Connect the Ethernet cable’s M12 connector to the vision sensor’s Ethernet connector.

2. Connect the Ethernet cable’s RJ-45 connector to a switch/router or PC, as applicable.

Connect the Power and I/O Breakout Cable

Note: Unused bare wires can be clipped short or tied back using a tie made of non-conductive material. Keep all
bare wires separated from the +24VDC wire.

1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Optionally, connect the I/O or serial wires to an appropriate device (for example, a PLC or a serial device). For
more information, refer to Power and I/O Breakout Cable Specifications on page 30.
3. Attach the Power and I/O Breakout cable's +24VDC (Red wire) and GROUND (Black wire) to the corresponding
terminals on the power supply.

CAUTION: Never connect voltages other than 24VDC. Always observe the polarity shown.

4. Attach the Power and I/O Breakout cable's M12 connector to the vision sensor's Power, I/O and RS232 connector.

5. Restore power to the 24VDC power supply and turn it on if necessary.

16
 Installation

Set the Focus Position

Adjust the focus on the back of the light module. Turn the screw clockwise to focus at a shorter distance, and counter-
clockwise to focus at a longer distance.

Working Distance and Field of View

The distance from the vision sensor lens to the part that needs to be inspected is the working distance. The field of view
is what the vision sensor can see at that distance. As the working distance increases, so does the field of view.
The following chart shows the horizontal field of view for In-Sight 2000-110/120/130 model vision sensors with 640 x 480
image resolution (default).

 Specifications

I/O Specifications
Cable and connector specifications and connection examples for acquisition trigger input and high-speed outputs are
provided in the following sections.

Acquisition Trigger Input

The vision sensor features one acquisition trigger input that is opto-isolated. The acquisition trigger input can be
configured to trigger from either an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device.

Specification Description
Voltage ON: 15 to 24VDC (24VDC nominal)
OFF: 0 to 5VDC (0VDC nominal)
Current 3.6 mA @ 12VDC, 7.5 mA @ 24VDC
Resistance: ~5.48 kOhms
Delay 1.45ms maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of acquisition. Input pulse should be
a minimum of 1ms wide.

To trigger from an NPN (pull-down) type photo-detector or PLC output, connect TRIGGER to +24VDC and connect
INPUT COMMON to the output of the detector. When the output turns on, it pulls INPUT COMMON down to 0VDC, turning
the opto-coupler on. For more information, refer to Power and I/O Breakout Cable Specifications on page 30.
To trigger from a PNP (pull-up) photo-detector or PLC output, connect TRIGGER to the output of the detector and connect
INPUT COMMON to 0VDC. When the output turns on, it pulls TRIGGER up to 24VDC, turning the opto-coupler ON. For
more information, refer to Power and I/O Breakout Cable Specifications on page 30.

27
 Specifications

High-Speed Outputs
The high-speed outputs can be used as either NPN (pull-down) or PNP (pull-up) lines.

Specification Description
Voltage 28VDC 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.

For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (<28VDC).
The outputs pull down to less than 3VDC when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the outputs are
OFF, no current flows through the load. For more information, refer to Power and I/O Breakout Cable Specifications on
page 30.

For PNP lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the negative supply voltage (0VDC).
When connected to a 24VDC power supply, the outputs pull up greater than 21VDC when ON, and current flows through
the load. When the outputs are OFF, no current flows through the load. For more information, refer to Power and I/O
Breakout Cable Specifications on page 30.

28
 Specifications

High-Speed Output Wiring

Note: For more information, refer to Power and I/O Breakout Cable Specifications on page 30.

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

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

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
3VDC, and 24VDC 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 +24VDC.

 Cleaning/Maintenance

Cleaning/Maintenance
Clean the Vision Sensor Housing
To clean the outside of the vision sensor housing, use a small amount of mild detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a
cleaning cloth. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the vision sensor 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 Sensor 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/smudges still remain, clean the window with a cotton bud using alcohol (ethyl, methyl or isopropyl). Do not
pour the alcohol directly on the window.

Clean the Vision Sensor 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 directly on the plastic
window.
