I/O Specifications
Connection examples for the I/O module's general-purpose inputs and outputs, trigger input and high-speed outputs are
provided in the following sections.
Note
: The vision system must be Online for the discrete inputs and outputs to function.
General-Purpose Inputs
The I/O module extends the capabilities of the vision system by providing eight independent, general-purpose inputs
(INPUT 0 - INPUT 7) that can be used to trigger vision system events. General-purpose inputs are optically isolated and
are typically connected (directly or indirectly) to a sensor (such as a limit, pressure, or temperature sensor). Refer to
for common wiring configurations.
CAUTION
:
All general-purpose inputs share a common connection (IN COMMON). Therefore, all input devices
must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing. Mixing inputs with sinking and sourcing could damage
the I/O module or your devices.
