Connect an RJ-45 LAN Cable
To connect the vision system to an Ethernet network, plug a LAN cable (RJ-45 connector) into the I/O module’s LAN port
and connect the other end of the cable to a switch/router or PC, as applicable.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
CAUTION
:
l
The Ethernet cable must be shielded. For the In-Sight 8405 vision system, Cognex strongly recommends
Cat 6 or Cat 7 Ethernet cables with S/STP shielding.
l
The Ethernet cable shield must be grounded at the far end. If 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.
l
The I/O module’s PoE port provides power and Ethernet connectivity to the In-Sight 8000 series vision
system. Connecting third-party devices to the I/O module's PoE port could damage the I/O module.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable’s M12 connector to the vision system’s ENET connector.
