1700 Series Wafer Reader Section 2: Installing the Wafer Reader

2.1.4 Connecting the Breakout Cable
The breakout cable provides access to the wafer reader’s power, serial communications,
and I/O lines. The RJ-45 connector on this cable is “keyed” to the notch in the Breakout
Port, and cannot be inadvertently plugged in to the Network Port. See Section 8.2.1:
Breakout Port Pin Assignments on page 106 for the Breakout Cable’s wiring details.
To connect the sensor using the optional 1350 Breakout Module, refer to Appendix C:
Connecting the Breakout Module.
To Connect the Breakout Cable to the In-Sight Wafer Reader:
1 Verify the 24VDC power supply being used is switched off.
2 Attach the Breakout Cable’s power (white-green wire) and ground (brown wire) to the
corresponding terminals on the power supply.
3 Connect the wires for the acquisition trigger, discrete outputs, and serial
communications to their corresponding terminals on remote devices.
4 Plug the RJ-45 connector into the wafer reader’s Breakout Port (labeled 24VDC).
5 Restore power to the 24V supply. The green power LED will indicate that the wafer
reader is receiving power.
2.2 Configuring the Internet Browser
The In-Sight wafer reader is platform and operating system independent and can be
controlled using a standard, Java-enabled Internet browser. In most cases, a PC is
needed to set up a wafer ID application but is not necessary to monitor its runtime
operation.
When configuring the In-Sight browser interface to communicate with the wafer reader,
there are two main requirements:
The connection must be a local area network (LAN) connection (versus dial-up).
The connection must not be routed through a proxy server, virtual private network
(VPN), or similar gateway.
The In-Sight browser interface has been tested using Microsoft Internet Explorer versions
5.0.1 and later on Windows XP, 2000 and NT 4.0. Using a Windows XP/2000/NT PC
running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (or later) is strongly recommended. If using Internet
Explorer 6, the Java™ Virtual Machine is not installed as part of the typical installation,
but is installed on demand when a page using a Java Applet is first encountered. The
Sun Java virtual machine can also be used on a windows-based PC. For information
regarding installation, upgrade and setup of these software packages, see
Tech Note:
Browser Setup and Java Installation for the In-Sight 1700 Series Applet , which is
available on the In-Sight 1700 Series CD, or can be downloaded from the
In-Sight Online Support & Learning Center at:
www.cognex.com/support/In-Sight.asp .
Whichever virtual machine is being used, it must be enabled for the In-Sight browser
interface to execute.
