Interface Module Installation & Reference
Figure 1: EDS file parameters for In-Sight.
1. Configure the Serial I/O parameters (parameters 1-8), including baud rate, bits, and parity. These
settings must agree with the settings for the In-Sight serial port connected to the Interface
Module; usually 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, parity none, 1 stop bit, CTS/RTS (Hardware) Flow
Control and a Delimiter Mode of Fixed Length. See page 4 for more information on connecting
the Interface Module to the In-Sight vision sensor.
2. Configure the Transmit and Receive sizes.
a) Parameter 8: Packet Length. This is the Module receive packet and In-Sight output size; the
default is 16 bytes.
b) Parameter 25: Data Size Instance 1. Parameter #8 + 1 byte, which defines the length of the
receive byte array.
c) Parameter 69. Data Size Instance 1. Parameter #8 + 1 byte, which defines the length of the
transmit byte array.
d) Parameter 49. Set SYNC off (default).
e) Press
Apply
then
OK
to download the changes to the Interface Module.
Step 3 – Configure the Master Device
To configure the Interface Module’s Master Device, use RSNetworx to open the scanner’s property sheet.
1. On the Scanlist property tab, add the Interface Module to the Scanlist, if it is not already present.
2. Select the Interface Module and click the
Edit I/O Parameters
button. The I/O Parameters dialog
will open.
a) Enable the Polled check box.
b) Set Rx Size to the receive packet size
plus
3 bytes (from the EDS file, parameter #8 + 3).
c) Set Tx Size to the transmit packet size
plus
3 bytes (from the EDS file parameter #8 + 3).
d) Click
OK
to close the Edit I/O Parameters dialog.
